I noticed the "us", too, and I pretty much agree with you. But it's a minor slip on ESPN chat, not TV...and he's Tedy, so I'm willing to give him a pass.

I think he usually does a great job being impartial, and I like that he is.

And the important thing is, Joey Porter needed to be told to SUCK IT!

Watch ANY NFL game and you see multiple players make the damn throw the flag signal, but for whatever reason only Brady is singled out. For YEARS there has been spying in the NFL, it's been documented, but for whatever reason only the Pats are mentioned. The Dolphins can tape Bradys audibles, the Jets can video tape the Pats, the Steelers doctor can get a dump truck full of steroids delivered to his house, no one says a damn thing. It's just stupid at this point.

That's exactly my problem with it. Look, the Patriots were caught, and deserved to be punished, but it's as if every other team is a ******* little angel, halo and all.

It's like anything the Patriots do, they're the worst human beings on Earth. If the Colts beat the Titans 59-0, you would have never heard a peep about it. But since the Patriots did it, they ran up the score and showed a lack of class and sportsmanship.

Apparently Rich Eisen is now part of the vast Boston Media wing conspiracy (see the other thread) to trick Porter in to saying something stupid. I feel bad for the guy. He is so humble and reserved and Boston media like the NFL Network are tricking him into saying things out of character.

Bruschi was on the team that beat the Steelers. There's no reason for him to go with anything besides "us".

Well of course. We wouldnt be the cheatriots for nothing. That is a media designed promo that they will continue to plug every season since spygate and will work it at every opportunity it gets.

He's no longer on the team as of right now though. People can say what they want about Schlereth, but I've never heard him refer to the current Broncos as "us". The media is SUPPOSED to be unbiased (they fail most of the time). Saying "them" would have been a little bit better in that situation. Just my opinion.

Bruschi is a commentator, not a reporter. Also, the "cheating" teams are being called out, and Bruschi was a member of them. If this were 2010 and he was saying "us" about the current, 2009, team, there might be an argument. For this, though, I really don't see one.

Ho...wait a minute...the Patriots were NOT, I repeat,NOT "caught"...Belichick IGNORED the rule and with enough reason to mollify any NORMAL league ruling body. For Chrissakes, Mangini had TWO cameras going and LIED about it before he RATTED to Goodell and started the whole fairy tale "spygate".It was and IS, as anyone can see by the explosion of Yankee fan vitriol post series directed at the NE area, a manufactured straw man emanating from a NY born and bred "omissioner" that has not seen an end precisely because this jagoff has kept it alive in the media. Name once that Goodell has said "enough!" about all these continued spurious allegations constantly, YEARS LATER, being strewn around with impunity by absolute proven morons like Porter. Name one....

The Saddest part is, I pretty much agree with him.
