I think this deserves exactly the amoung of side-mention Ms. Young gives it.
You can not make excuses, you can not prove that the Pats lost "because" of an off-field issue, etc.
But nobody outside of NE sports really thinks these rounds of baseless bullcrap are anything other than fun and games... while the rest of us have to wonder...
If 18-0 had come in other circumstances, would 19-0 have followed?
The optimists among us can hope that this year it will.

While it is impossible to know what effect, if any, the story had on the Pats’ play in Super Bowl XLII, in which their dream of the league’s first undefeated season sine 1971 was ended by the New York Giants, fans of the team were outraged at the timing of it as well as the implication that the three titles the team has won are in some way tarnished.
