Tubby Ratfink. In my mind, no one else even comes close. While some people believe his creation of spygate helped motivate our team, I think it did more harm than good in terms of public perception outside New England. It also might keep BB from the Coach of the Year honors he so richly deserves.

The Dolphins deffo disappointed me. Couldn't match us loss for win. Real pissoff!

We suck I tell ya..SUCK! Maroney's useless, McDaniels is useless, defense blows and oh yeah Maroney is useless.

Seriously, I stopped reading the game threads, they stress me out more than the game does. I wonder what the tally is at Mass General for treating broken knees from people jumping off the wagon.

Yep, I hear ya. I'm amazed at how quickly so many of them will say "Our defense sucks, we'll never win a SB with these guys" following any kind of scoring drive by an oppponent.

Meanwhile, they completely ignore when the D makes crucial stops or comes up with a turnover late in a game to help secure a win.

I'd like to think that they're all trolls from other fan bases posing as Pat's fans, but unfortunately it's not that simple.

Let's stop blaming Maroney and get on with the feats of strength.

Dude, we always do the airing of grievances before the feats of strength.

I'm not sure if Easterbrook or MangIdiot can be classified as disappointments. Did any Patsfans expect much from them?

As for Brady, I think his "questionable shoulder" has gone beyond gamesmanship and is now in the realm of superstition.

How successful have the Pats been while he's been questionable? BB knows he's not fooling anyone with that - I think he doesn't want to tempt fate by making a change.

Furthermore I think it would be hilarious if Brady bows out of the Pro Bowl citing his shoulder!

Maroney running for over 100 yards. It's a Festivus Miracle!

Mr. Kruger: I find your belief system fascinating.
Bill Belichick: It is what it is.

I really think he's a great columnist. I find that he often has an interesting take, is not generally swayed or caught up in the prevailing media fascination of the day, and is an excellent writer. He has captured very well some of my favorite sports moments. He tends not to be prone to overstatements, but isn't an apologist either when someone needs to be taken to task. His columns are entertaining, and when I lived in Washington, DC, he was one of the first things I turned to in the Post. When he has bias -- with the Bulls or Redskins -- he's admitted it freely and accepts that he might not be able to provide a neutral take.

When my favorite team is involved, I generally respect what he has to say, even if it's tough to read or adversarial.

His injury-Brady article this year, though, was misguided. Everyone deserves a mulligan, and sportswriters never admit they are wrong, so I don't expect him to. I do, though, think he regrets that column a little. But still, I can't forgive him of it. Like everyone else, he chose to focuse on the negative instead of celebrating a great athlete and a wonderful team.

Before I opened your thread I was thinking Roger Goodell, followed closely by Peter King then Gregg Easterbrook, each one for his role in, and/or overblown reaction to, the Spygate crap.

I am sticking with my original thoughts here on Festivus for the Rest of Us.
