We have become predictable - they sling mud, we write hundreds of comments and emails, fill talk shows up with calls and we watch all their shows. Their papers ell, their websites gets more hits than ever, their ratings rise and rise and rise. Their advertisers buy more time because they now have the numbers.

They get, exactly what they want.....us.

The only way to get even is put them all on ignore. Support only the Patriot website, and a precious few writers that have been fair and balanced - (Reiss, Young, etc). Get your NFL news from NFL Channel and nfl.com. Do not support the advertisers of the idiots.

At some point, they will get that message.

I have already done that....I get my football news from NFL channell...I only read Reiss and few select others.

When I do read someone else I only read what is posted on here as to not give them hits.

but there is only so much one man can do. We need the collective of the entire fan base to stop doing it.

Peter King's hypocrisy on this issue is embarrassing. What Tomase did was tantimount to cheating, but King is afraid to say anything negative about the guy. Yet, he has had no problem blasting Belichick for cheating for eight months now.

Granted, King has always been soft on other writers. I shouldn't be surprised here. When Rich Cimini misquoted King by using his hypothetical comments by Belichick about Kerry Rhodes as actual comments, he was very light on him eventhough he admits that Cimini's column did significant damage to Belichick. Why would I expect King to be any different when it comes to Tomase?

I do think it is a shame that King expects Belichick to be held a much higher standard than he feels his breatheren in the media should be held to. That is part of the problem with the media today.

Anyone have a link to BB's apology? I would appreciate reading it for myself.

I don't know about any of you (don't actually read through the Spygate threads anymore) but I lost all respect for Peter King years before this began.

Without Peter King, Tomase, Collinsworth and their candy-azz friends pushing this NON-STORY since last year, this would have died a much earlier death. I'm so sick and tired of this crap. I can't stand the sanctimonious sound of King's voice anymore. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard!

Well, he is kind of silly with his things he thinks he thinks and his coffee talk that he alone is obsessed with. He has gotten like a more syntactically clear Peter Gammons who throws a lot of crap against the wall hoping some of it sticks. There's an occasional gem in there, but it's like looking for the diamond ring the dog swallowed: love the jewel, hate the setting.
