Hi guys.. now we all know where you stand on this..
You are Patriots "Fans" who believe Arlen is an Eagles Fan and this is just sour grapes etc etc etc.
I really think you're missing the point.. I really truly do.
It's all about what your franchise DID or DID NOT DO. And it's all going to come out in the end.. If they cheated... we'll find out.. If they didn't.. we'll also find that out.
But in all seriousness, do you really think that this is about a renegade senator trying to garner votes? Hilarious. Ok listen up... Here's the deal... your franchise was accused by a former employee of having broken the rules.
That EMPLOYEE has never been called before a Federal Court or Congress to testify as to what he knows concerning the activities of the organization.
Now what that former Employee ( and I don't mean Matt Walsh) WILL SAY when forced to testify under oath...
Heck I don't KNOW.. you don't know.. ... maybe belicheck knows but if it's something very very bad.. then bill will know why he's saying it as well.
And for people that don't think this is a serious issue or something that will Go away because you eh "Want it to go away"..
Then I invite you to do the following, Tonight go into your neighbors phone box outside his house and hook up a tap and tape his conversations... then set up a hidden video camera in his bushes and just record the keyless entry code for his car.. and don't steal it or anything .. just go in and change the radio presets... Then call the cops and hand over the tapes you have...
See the big PROBLEM here is nobody KNOWS what was on the tapes that the Patriots handed over... and if you think that the Season ticket holders of the other 31 teams aren't entitled ESPECIALLY those in St Louis, Carolina and Philadelphia to know what is on the tapes...
WOW I don't know how to explain this to you other than three words.. Richard Milhouse Nixon... Now maybe what was on the tape was a guy sitting on the New England sideline video taping some hand gestures no more incriminating than watching a catcher give the 1 inside corner.
But then again MAYBE it was much much worse....To have destroyed the tapes if the Patriots are simply guilty of a rule misinterpretation actually HURTS the patriots because by there being NO tapes to view... people are free to let their minds run wild as to what was on them.
But if you guys really think this is going to end tomorrow because the NFL thinks it's better for selling Beer Commercials... You may be in for a quite a shock... one even more stiff than when that clock ticked to :01 and your coach decided it was time to take an early shower.
