I am surrounded by Ravens fans. Hardcore fans, casual fans - they all wear purple on their sleeve. They never mention cheating, or call Tom Brady a girl, or any of that stuff. You know why? They're medical researchers. Thats why. They are intelligent and analytical. They know an excuse when they hear one.

I've said previously that, although you can't generalize fan bases, the Steelers are an exception.
What's most idiotic to me is that they fail to actually acknowledge what happened in the games. Now, supposing that the Patriots were stealing their signals, virtually everyone agrees it would have given the offense an advantage, since only the Steelers defensive signals could have been picked off. In the 2001 AFCCG, the Patriots did not even move the ball very well against that D. They won on a special teams TD and a stinker from Kordell Stewart. They scored 41 points in 2004, but once again it was the defense that carried them. The Steelers had barely squeaked by the previous week against the Jets. They were lucky to begin with to get there, as Doug Brien missed two field goals at the end of regulation....
So people do have the right to question it..
I just wish we can win one now so there can be no question of its validity...
