Obviously I approve of most of the column because it's sympathetic to the Pats but I would like Simmons (a former Bostonian and rabid Boston Sports fan) to stop saying they "cheated." They didn't cheat even the brain-dead commissioner admits that. What they did was break the rules. There's a huge difference in my mind.
Also did BB "pull a Nixon?" He never denied he done it just said it was a misinterruption of the rules. He accepted responsibility and paid the price. As I recall Richard Nixon went to his grave denying that he knew about the Watergate operation or its cover up.
Mosi, Hoodie and Ponyexpress - I am with you guys. I love Simmons and I could feel his passion in this article, but I do wish he stopped trying to cover his arguments by saying the Pats cheated (i.e., he's trying to prove he's not in denial so his points have more merit). However, I am glad he expressed exactly what I was thinking watching the pre-show and halftime show - disgust at Kremer, Costas and Collinsworth, none of whom showed one iota of integrity by running with only one side of the issue.
