Wade Phillips provides Pats with extra motivation
 
Tomase has a transcript from the HBO show discussing the Pats and Spygate.

Tell me this isn't going to find it's way to the team before the game Sunday:

Quote:

Peter King: “No question Bob. You know, 5 and 0 New England against 5 and 0 Dallas. The league, the Patriots, everybody, they just want this spygate thing to go away. But Wade Phillips this week told me something that I think a lot of coaches around the league and a lot of people around the league are still thinking and that is, ‘Hey, New England was caught cheating and it is a black mark on their success.’ There is no doubt in my mind that it is and more and more people around the league are starting to say, ‘Why did this thing just go away? Why didn’t it get more traction?’”

Peter King just won't shut up about this. I can't believe it, it's almost like he's writing about something more important than football.

or maybe he wants us to win the SB and steadily bashes us up (ergo, more bulletin material) once he suspects that we are getting complacent. :rolleyes: hmmmmm..that is not too far fetched, is it?? :)

Who else thinks that Wade Phillips probably hasn't spent two seconds thinking about the whole spygate incident in weeks and only commented on it because Peter King won't let it die and asked a direct question on it? Who else thinks that any quote either King or Collinsworth have been getting recently on the who Spygate thing are not unsolicited comments, but only comments given because they are too interested in keeping this story alive by proding whoever in the league for more comments?

It is funny that the only people who seem to be getting any new feedback around the league about Spygate are the guys who refuse to let it die. If King and Collinsworth weren't leading a two man crusade to keep this thing going, only fringe writers like Easterbrook would still be talking about this.

By the way, where were King and Collinsworth when the Broncos got caught cheating giving Elway an illegal contract so they didn't have to cut a key player to get Elway under contract? Both were analyst for the league at that time, but I never saw either so vigilalent to keep that story alive.

Here's another comment:
http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/264213.html
-Wade Phillips has a ton of respect for New England coach Bill Belichick and knows him well. But he took a slight dig at the Spygate filming controversy during his news conference Wednesday when asked how close they were.
"We don't go fishing together," Phillips said. "I didn't say we don't go to the movies together."-

What information did you get by hearing it live that I didn't get by reading the quote? And what do you think he was alluding to?

We already are. The winningest team is always hated outside their home market, hate's the biggest compliment you can get in this business.
