If the Pats win the SB, should they skip the ceremony?

[Big-T]

I want them to do it just for the .0001% chance of Belichick collecting the Lombardi by saying "Go F yourself, Roger" then just walk off and celebrate with the players.

 

[The Boston Patriot]

I would. Just walk off the field as a team together and tell the criminals in the NFL to mail it to them.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Any Patriots fans attending the Super Bowl should start chanting Douchebaaaagggg, Douchebaaaagggg, Douchebaaaagggg, ...... when Goodell is announced. It would be worth the price of admission, 2K+, just to do it.

Looking forward to a repeat of when the Bruins won the Cup in Vancouver and Canucks fans roundly booed Bettman. Except this time it will be from the winning team's fan.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Can they let Fitzy go accept it for them???? That I would pay to see.

 

[Deus Irae]

Brady takes the microphone after being voted MVP:

"First, I'd like to thank my family, my teammates, the coaching staff, The Krafts and the entire Patriots organization. Then I'd like to thank our fans, who've been with us through it all.

I'd also like to say, to the NFL, and to all those who doubted us: Four rings and 6 appearances!"

 

[Boston Boxer]

Wouldn't that be the best story in the history of sports? A team that was framed by the very league that is now trying to crown them champions, decides to protest by leaving the field, celebrating in the locker room, skipping press conferences, and the returning home?

It would so awesome.

just have Kraft up there as the sole person to accept the trophy. I would love it

 

[dtbrks]

i want to revel in the celebration after winning the super bowl, which means the pats do the ceremony and enjoy what they accomplished this year. After that, the pats can give the league a big FU

 

[reneluar]

No, just celebrate and if you receive a question from espn or peter king just say "We are onto the next question"

 

[fourhour]

While not the most classiest act, I've been one of those, "It's not going to be good win or lose" guys and have thought the biggest FU the NEP could do was to win the coin toss, defer and walk straight out of the stadium. Then the Seatlle Seahawks would be stuck with an asterisk next to their Superbowl win!

But, deep inside, I want to see Tom Brady holding that trophy with the tickertape cascading in the background, and the newsband under the picture proclaiming him the Superbowl XLIX MVP!

 

[PatsBoy12]

HELL NO! They should flaunt and show the f*ck off for the world to swallow and digest.

 

[BTTA]

I'd rather they celebrate as publicly and ostentatiously as is humanly possible

I'm with this, too, while showing the country how a classy organization behaves. Team first.

 

[BradyBranch39]

Don't think I'd want the whole team to sit the thing out. They deserve to enjoy it. I was thinking the other day though that BB should sit it out and send McDaniels up there with Garoppolo or something.

 

[Deus Irae]

Maybe they could pass out some free inflating needles as part of the celebration. That'd piss the league off.

 

[scott99]

Honestly, I'd love to see them take the trophy and walk off the field. **** that ******* Goodell. Want no part of that prick. Also, the football gods owe us after all of this ****, I hope we win big time.

 

[hambone1818]

No, pretty simple:
--I want to see Brady lift his fourth
--I want to see Goodell forced to hand the Lombardi to Belichick
--Most importantly, I want to see the Patriots rise above this BS. If we learned anything from BB's presser yesterday--and during their entire run--it's that they're a team run the right way, a team with class and integrity, regardless of what everyone projects on them.

After typing that out I'd actually HATE to see them shun the league. Rise above it, be the bigger men, show everyone that this team is just plain better and won't pull the petty BS that half the teams they play pull during and after nearly every Patriots game we watch.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

No, they shouldn't skip the ceremony. The league is already pissed off at the team - they will find an excuse to fine us or dock picks even if there is no proof of deflating the footballs. They will say the pats violated the spirit of the rule or something.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Nope. They should be gracious.

 

[SoCal Pmen]

They should celebrate with their specially made T-shirts that read: Patriots Rule The NFL with the following hashtags beneath it - #DeflateThis #HateGate

I'd buy these shirts

 

[KamikazeKnight]

Instead of all that, can they just score a touchdown on every offensive play and sack the quarterback on every defensive play?

 

[fair catch fryar]

Ugh...I honestly don't give a F what they say or do. I just want them to win and that right there will say everything that needs to be said.
