First there were the Tuckheads - The irony here is that the team crying about the correct call the loudest is the team that beat the Pats 25 years earlier on a truly bogus call, and at that time that team proudly wore the motto of "if you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin" on their sleeves. What a perfect revenge. Their media rep is Jim Nants and he was the first to coin the term Tuck Rule. I laugh in all their faces.
Then came the Spybabies - These clowns are actually split into two subgroups. There are those who whine about the Pats filming coaches signals from the wrong place and those who think that the Pats filmed a practice or something before the Silence of the Rams. I can't do anything but hold my side and laugh in their faces too.
The next step back in the evolutionary process brought us the Asterjerks - Thanks to the senile old fart who forgot that his team went undefeated right after losing a first round pick and being fined by the NFL in 1970, a whole new animal slithered out of the slime. These are the dopes who can't come up with a reason to attach any negativity to, say, the Saints for Bountygate, the 49ers for cheating the salary cap or Jerry Rice breaking the rules by using stickum, but are positive that our SBs are tainted in some way. They just can't come up with an exact reason why. They make me laugh louder and harder.
And of course the Rub-It-Inbreds are the worst - There was some mention of them here in an earlier post. Going back to my thoughts at the time, especially concerning all the crying and moaning about beating up on poor Joe Gibbs, it kept reminding me of listening to the people who didn't want to keep score or keep any standings in LL baseball. I guess the NFL version of that species didn't know that one of the tie breakers is point differential. I laugh at them too, but I feel a little bad for them when I do. They really are clueless.
And now, the true bottom of the chain, the Deflatists - These creatures don't know what the Pats did, but they want them strung up for it. From all appearances, just like with the 2001 taping fable, nothing happened. But, with just a few well placed paragraphs or words here and there, the mediots were able to go for weeks with talk about the Pats cheating. This might be the lowest form of being ever and for them I save my best laugh of all. The one that's so deep that it hurts.
