More PROOF that the NFL is against the Patriots
 

The new marketing campaign for this weeks game where they tought Brett Favre as the "HERO" and that he's going up against his "RIVALS".

Give me a friggin break. Nothing like the league throwing the Pats under the bus and equating them with being evil here.

If I am Kraft, I am on the phone with Goodell having it pulled because it bad publicity for the team or telling him that there will be an injunction awaiting the league by Monday afternoon.

Generally, I'm not one to look for bias against any one team from the League. But I did see the commercial, and I thought they could have been a little more objective instead of painting it so black and white.

Fantastic. More ammunition for the team to use to wipe out the smiles on those smug Jester bastards faces.

Best possible thing the NFL could do.

And yes, it's dumb. But I highly doubt the NFL is going to pull it, since they are most likely the people who made it for the exclusive game they will be carrying.

Given the correct nemesis of a "hero" is a "villain," maybe we should be thankful the NFL didn't go further than it did.

And considering how last season and most of his recent playoff games have gone, the NFL may have considered extending his label to "tragic hero-aging gunslinger now a split second slow on the draw."

You are unreal. The NFL is a COMPANY. The Pats are one of the top money making teams in the NFL. Are you saying the NFL hates their biggest cash cow? Thats like saying Toyota hates Lexus, oh brother.

Re: More PROOF that the NFL is against the Patriots
 

Spectators watch games to (1) see the team they like win or (2) see the team they hate lose. That is why the Yankees and Red Sox (that would be baseball - don't want to lose you on the transition) have national marketing appeal. Marketing is marketing, so it makes little difference to the NFL why people tune in to watch a game.

As such, you may want to check your own IQ (that means intelligence quotient, a standardized test of intelligence).

Re: More PROOF that the NFL is against the Patriots
 

I don't need to check anything. Those who think the NFL "hates" the pats are dumber than you claim I am. The NFL does not hate one of the top money making teams in their company. That would just be stupid :rolleyes: How dare the NFL call the pats "rivals". What a bunch of crybabies.

Re: More PROOF that the NFL is against the Patriots
 

Regardless of whether the NFL hates the Pats or not; the fact that the Pats are one of the top money making teams is meaningless; they are because they have won. If Pittsburgh ended up winning 2 more superbowls, they'd go to the top in terms of revenue. If the Pats had a Celtics-like 20 year drought, they'd go to the middle of the revenue stream.

So if the NFL really wanted to see the demise of the Pats, they really wouldn't lose any money as whatever they lose on the Pats fanbase would be made up for by the other team(s) replacing the Pats.

In fact one can probably argue this year is better for the NFL than last year because NE hasn't really lost any fanbase; but other teams have gained some (Buffalo and Jets for example) since they now have a legit shot.

No. The NFL does not hate any of its major market teams....please stop being insane.
