Curran: NFL has a Giant Sense of Entitlement

[Galeb]

Are you really immortal?

 

[The Gr8est]

The continued re-hashing and re-litigating of this stuff, even amongst our own, robs me of my enjoyment. When I read the Florio articles, and go to the comments, there is just as much "cheaters" bull **** as ever. Then some obvious Bostonian commenter will make a clever come back comment, but then they just comment back to him about the "caught cheating" crap. I just don't even want to pay attention to any of it any more.

That is the whole goal of the haters. Maybe they will admit it some day when the Pats are no longer on top, but not while the ARE on top. They want to diminish your enjoyment of the Pats success while they don't get to enjoy success watching their own.

It is pure spite based in jealousy.

They really DO hate us because they ain't us.

Agree but too many of us bother to still actively fight them and defend. Should all just be never brought up or talked about by Pats fans at this point.

YOU can choose to keep your mouth shut. Do NOT tell any other Patriots fans what to do or what should be done.

My god, what a great piece. Who TF needs Viagra when you can read that?

I didn't get a boner.
Reading it makes my blood boil in anger and frustration for the unfair treatment of my favorite team and the 2-faced disingenuous position of its owner.

as it does to every REAL Patriots fan. These sickening scumbag trolls that "play" Pats fans here just never stop trying to minimize the despicable crimes committed against our fanbase by this ignorant, idiotic, ill bred and near insane "ommisioner".

There's no shame in being a Giants fan. Just not sure why you'd post here. If I were you, I'd hate the article, too, because it exposes the hypocrisy of the Giants and their fans, such as you. You may think the Giants were treated unfairly, but you're mistaken. In fact, the opposite, as Curran notes, is true. You are correct, however, about the 2- faced, disingenuous Mara.

I think you misunderstood me.
1. Patriots fans should be upset at how the Giants were allowed to slide after two consecutive weeks rule violations. Blatant tampering with the Pittsburgh footballs was is even worse than what happened allegedly with deflategate.
2. At least taping (from that location) was legal prior to the 2006 season... so perhaps spygate was an oversight by BB. I don't think using walkie-talkies was ever legal.
3. I am angry at Kraft for sitting there so quietly while all this has gone on for weeks. We patriots fans raise a fuss, our small time beat reporter (that nobody reads except for us) writes a nice article, but the voices are never heard.
4. I challenge anyone to be a bigger patriots fan than me

Giants??! Child, please.

Grow a pair (no, a brain and heart), embrace the hate, and you too can become....a PATSFAN!!!

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Makes it sound like the NFL* is a government, and those with the right connections get favorable treatment.

I call it Institutionalized Corruption.

In Banana Republics, you simply hand the money (cash if you're giving it to him domestically, a wire transfer to an Offshore Account if you're getting it to him outside the country or if it's too much cash to launder) to the guy running for office.

In the United States, you have to set up a "No Limits" PAC and use it to funnel the money to him when he's running for office. Then, after he leaves office, you or one of your friends hires him under a lucrative contract or you pay him a few hundred thousand to "give a speech." Or you hire his friends and relatives, pay them a lot of money and don't ask any questions about where some of the money ends up. This would become a Political Thread if I pointed out how some have raised this to an art form.

I prefer how the Banana Republics do it...somehow, it's a more "honest" form of corruption.

If I, or anyone else, misunderstood you it's because you expressed yourself poorly - "child."

I fully understood he was an angary pats fan. I thought his name and comment made that pretty clear. We should all be p!ssed off that giants have got a tiny fine when the browns got a 4 game suspenssion for something that would have less of an outcome on the game.

We're all angry. The point of my original post was to appreciate and commend Tom Curran for having the balls and character to write/say what most of us have been dying for a local media member to write/say since late January of 2015. ***hole trolls like Shank, Borges, Felger, Ryan, Tomase and others around here have dismissed virtually all of Curran's points as "homerism" which, as we all know, is a far more heinous crime than murder, pedophilia, domestic violence and any other crime one can think of. I have nothing against Pittpatriot. I just thought he missed the point of my post, so I intentionally pretended to miss the point of his. Probably childish, on my part. But, he did refer to me as "Child".??

The internet really needs a sarcastic font. All tonality is lost. He did call you a child first, the pairing of child and please will always remind me of Chad Johnson on hard knocks.

Being a Pats stakeholder seems to be the greatest crime in America these days. Our players are guilty as soon as they do anything, our coach covers everything up to win, our reporters are wrong if the support is and our fans deserve abuse.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

"See..?!? Even the Boston writers think the Patriots are guilty so that means they really are guilty."

The mantra utilized for over thirty-five years now

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Um, the fact that Curran is in fact not guilty of homerism is amongst all the truth swept under the rug.

I find him to be quite objective. It would be most entertaining if he were from Texas or Oregon or something.

Folks, do you at least BEGIN to see how Kraft has cultivated, enabled and encouraged this? He's not the first guy to think he's dealing with people who are on the level who are in fact corrupt and evil. He was excited about owning the Patriots and he got carried away. But today, almost 2017, can we accept (and deal with) the truth?

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Another 500 foot grand slam from Curran. I've read it twice and nodded my head profusely. My two favorite paragraphs follow.

Curran: A Giant sense of entitlement within the NFL

McDonough was ok except he loved the Maras. Ooops.

So, through the aforementioned penalties assessed against the Patriots (God this is more common than the Celtics winning titles in the sixties) Goodell successfully imposed an unfair competitive disadvantage onto the Patriots - twice. In other words, the league cheated.

Same league that sent their guy here who along with his friends and associates had nothing but contempt for the Patriots, same league that hastily cooked up an ugly faux insulting logo and uniform at his request, so that ever since the NFL can look upon the Arena League retreads every time they take the field and say, "We own you."

I didn't get a boner.
Reading it makes my blood boil in anger and frustration for the unfair treatment of my favorite team and the 2-faced disingenuous position of its owner.

Most especially, when Kraft talks about honoring and recognizing alumni from eras previous to his ownership.
