This is the EXACT argument people use when they say the Patriots only won their Super Bowls because of Spygate.
huh? it is? there are spygate allegations and spygate tapes prior to 2006? Show us.I'll wait. Oh, and BTW, just for the record for everyone else here, are you a Patriot fan? Now remember, there is an ARCHIVE here at Pats fans, as there is at Gang Green. You do realize that word for word posts at both sites would clearly indicate the SAME PERSON making those posts. Agreed? So tell everyone here what team you are a fan of...and then we'll see if recorded post history matches up.
You love calling other members here disparaging names...pretty odd when the rest of the Patriot fanbase here get heated on topics day in and out yet don't use the snarky putdown insults that YOU use in every one of your posts. It's as if you HATE Patriot fans, and that every opinion of yours about the Patriots is the right one and anyone who disagrees is, in your own words...
"trying to understand what you're saying but I am having trouble deciphering through all the whining",
"Now now, no need to get pissy just because I'm humiliating you.",
"Little boy, you need to relax.",
" a Patriots fan acts like whiny little self entitled spoiled Steelers fan ",
" Because you know how foolish you look."
any regulars here that frequent JI and Gang Green recognize this syntax, the sarcastic putdown tones and oozing hatred . Personally, in 50 years of being a Patriot fan I have NEVER met a Patriot fan that exhibits this type of vitriolic hatred toward another Pats fan.
This is the EXACT argument people use when they say the Patriots only won their Super Bowls because of Spygate.
When the Patriots won their Super Bowls there was NO argument. What part of this eludes you? The Patriots HAVEN'T won a Super Bowl since Goodell took office. The argument is the exact opposite of what you propose. Why would he not want the Patriots to win?...easy...they are already recognized as the pre-eminent franchise over the last 12 years. They are an entity that doesn't need the commissioner's wanting for any reason on any level, in fact, what the commissioner WANTS is a parity league where the champion changes from year to year and every NFL franchise gets a shot at the ring. The Patriots are a gigantic roadblock to his aims in that they are a threat to win it every year. Sean O'Hara's choke hold on Richard Seymour from behind, with referee Mike Carey ,hand on flag suddenly deciding..."oh wait, I see a 100% must call hold but I won't call it"..he did that just..well, as you would have everyone believe...just because. The Patriots win that Super Bowl and Goodell's grand schemes are in the toilet. That Giants win PROVED the agenda Goodell was brought in to implement...the parity agenda...HIS agenda. The Patriots organization the last 12 years has proved THEY are anything BUT on par with the other 31 teams. THAT is why Goodell does NOT need New England to ever win another Super Bowl. What he has managed to fabricate is the "Evil Empire" antihero image and firmly ensconced the New England Patriots in THAT role, now matter what the season or the opponent. It's a formula that has served Vince McMahon and the WWE very well for the past 40 years.
