First Take: Debating the Patriots - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

* Rob Parker: "Who did [the Patriots] beat? They didn't beat one team over .500. They haven't won anything since Spygate, no one ever wants to talk about that. Also, they've lost their last three postseason games, the last two at home coming off undefeated home records in the regular season. They lost to Baltimore two years ago, getting run out of Foxborough. And last year, after humiliating the Jets [in the regular season], they got beat because Tom Brady was confused and they couldn't make any adjustments. I'm not buying this team. It's fraudulent. It's a fraud."

From Wikipedia:

Rob Parker (born January 18, 1964) is an American sports columnist for ESPNNewYork.com and ClickOnDetroit.com. Parker is also a regular on ESPN's First Take, where he debates Skip Bayless on the 1st and 10 segment. Rob Parker is a regular on WDIV Local 4 Sports Final Edition. Rob Parker is also a first class azzhole. (I added that last part)




Maybe he forgot we went 16-0 in the regular season AFTER spygate demolishing every team along the way. Sure we lost the SB, but I wouldn't classify that season as "haven't won anything since spygate".



I wish Rob a Merry case of hemoroids and a happy ring worm!

Honestly, whats the point of keep posting about haters in the media? To rile up fans? Wait until the games are played and lets see who's going to shut up afterwards and eat their words.

I love how people point to the Patriots not having a playoff win since 2007 as a sign of their demise. It's as if a team needs one playoff win EVERY season to justify their worthiness.

In fact, there is only ONE team that had a playoff win in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons, and they were the NY Jets (cringe).

Haters are gonna hate.

he says no playoff wins since spy gate. he forgets they won 18 games after spygate actually happened.

i saw that earlier today, as much of an idiot as that guy sounds...

skip bayless seems like a complete Pats homer, Lmao, i LOVED hearing him make out Brady and the pats to be so good

i hope he gets proven right after the superbowl

I watch this show every day, or night (if I have to record it) Rob Parker, or Rob Packer as Skip likes to call him is always on the packers and Rodgers sack. He never credits the pats, in fact Skip is about the only one who does. They all ignore the fact that the packers have a worse D and have played an easier schedule.

In fact, today, they had their "power rankings" and Cordell put the Pats last, because "have the worst Defense in the league) but then goes on to put the packers as number 1, and mentions nothing about the fact that the packers actually do have the worse Defense in the league.

Because this is a discussion board?

You have to admit, Spygate really helped the Patriots offense. Videotaping let them know just what the defense is doing. After Spygate, the Patriots' offense just hasn't been the same.

I coulda just liked this post, but I had to quote it........its just illustrates how stupid this article is.

The point is...its not going to change the outcome of games just because people in the media talk. I am sure the Pats have their own personal motivation. I don't think Parker talking is going to make McCourty a better CB today. Talk is just talk...It just adds to the negativity especially on this board.

I rather watch reruns of 'Love & Hip Hop' or 'Mob Wives' before I watch that crap. I might watch if the Pats are in the SB.

Now you're just being silly..the worst show by far on TV? ALL OF TV? Teen Mom? Jersey Shore? 16 and pregnent? And that show where moms pimp their daughters to win beauty pagents? Espn First Take is top 20 for sure

Here is a sample of good TV

Best shows on TV

Dexter
Pretty Little Liars
Bones
Criminal minds.
House
Leverage (best show on TV)

I guess I got off topic, but its crazy you say that its the worst show on TV. I guess I am just wondering what you find good TV.

Good list though you lose me at Pretty Little Liars. Check out a show called Person of Interest. It's a dark and different take on the vigilante scenario.

Regarding FSPN, surprised at Pats fans in general watching much on that channel (unless it is an actual game to watch). Of all fans we got the first hand look at how they led the charge to make sports journalism something to be looked at without any respect whatsoever. However, without question there are TV shows out there that are reaching depths well below anything on FSPN (MTV certainly has a fine list).
