(Mod Edited Title) Warner on SB 36: Pats' Hitting Receivers/Faulk Pushed the Envelope
Obviously Warner didn't bring this topic up unsolicited, but when a mediot asks, one can always decline to comment.

Well, he is right. Under the current rules/points of emphasis, NE could never have played that defense.
Too bad for him that those weren't the rules/emphasis back then. Suck it, Kurt. |

"With the rules now … I say no, but, again, it would have come down to the officials having to make the calls. But even with what they did then I don’t know if it was, quote-unquote, legal from the standpoint of the rulebook. But they were pushing the envelope, but, again, I give them credit because you knew if you were going to beat us that’s what you had to do, you had to push the envelope. You had to say, ‘We’re going to beat them until somebody tells us it’s illegal and throws a flag and if they don’t, keep doing it.’ |

Honestly, I think the title of this thread leaves the impression he's calling up "Spygate" again and it's not that at all.
I really don't have much argument with most of what he said (and I'm no Kurt Warner fan). It's no secret the rules have been emphasized much differently since then. It's also no secret that refs are less likely to call a penalty in the playoffs (someone else on this board recently pointed out, maybe this is one reason why "defense wins championships.")

He's just being honest, not calling BB a cheat or anything at least I don't see it that way. One of my favorite QB's, definitely doesn't hold a grudge, great guy. Gutted when he lost to Armpitt in the SB.

For those who take issue with the title, please suggest a suitable alternative.
Make it catchy. :cool: |

It is amazing that so many of these ex-Rams, eagles, steelers etc are still so sore a$$ed from getting beaten by the Patriots. They keep looking for something....anything as a reason WHY they could NOT beat the Patriots. It is really pathetic watching these guys go with the "cheating" card....even though deep in their hearts they KNOW that the pats did NOTHING wrong or "illegal". They keep trying to find EXCUSES for themselves and why THEY could not get it done. Shameful and pathetic.
