It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I’m not sure what happens in the league offices.You have a 50-50 chance of being right but this "league is against the Patriots" stuff is stupid. There's zero evidence that the league schedules, refs, anything different for the Patriots.
It’d be crazy ratings.I bet it's the opener. It's an easy choice.

All I know is we look like petulant babies whenever we do this whining. We’ve won SIX Super Bowls. We are not the ones to complain about anything at this point.

That's directives coming from rival owners, has nothing to do with officiating or scheduling. I've never had a particular issue with either of those, the rest of the league thinks that the refs are biased in our favor, which is pretty good evidence that they're one part of the NFL infrastructure that at least isn't overtly biased against us.But Deflategate is a glaring exception to the idea the Patriots are treated equally, and probably Spygate. When it comes to these “scandals” there is clear, undeniable evidence of not just bias but active participation by the league office to bury them. In other areas, reffing, scheduling, etc., no evidence.
Very fair. The NFL reacts overly harsh to many scandals, and always reacted to anything about us the worst since we’re the Patriots.But Deflategate is a glaring exception to the idea the Patriots are treated equally, and probably Spygate.
