Yes, rapists do not like it if their victim fights back. Your point?This is why people don't like Patriots fans.
People (especially Steeler fans) conveniently forget about this controversy which led Rozelle to strip the Steelers of a 3rd round pick. The Steelers won the super bowl this year. Should there be an asterisk?
"this is the same Super Bowl mentioned above that the Raiders allegedly lost on purpose."
Terrific thread Bruins29, thanx for starting it. Here are a couple of articles about Tripgate full of memories possibly forgotten about that would be good reminders for Pats fans. (And hopefully for Bob Kraft if he has finally decided to fight back.)

The gems in here include the fact that the Rats suspended Sal Alosi, not the NFL. Who else gets to investigate and punish themselves? It would have been nice if the Pats could have investigated Spygate themselves and given themselves an appropriate punishment.
Rex Ryan and Mike Westhoff said that they both were unaware of what was going on on their own sidelines, and Roger Goodell said that he believed them.
Brian Billick stated that he knew that Ryan was aware of it and Mike Westhoff, while unaware of it on his own team, used the Pats doing it too as his defense.
So you believe Ryan and Westhoff, but not BB when he said he interpreted the league memo to mean he couldn't use tapes in the same game they were made? Really Roger?
"The NFL sent a letter to the 32 teams Thursday reminding them of the rules and restrictions for the bench area and sidelines."
That's nice, thank you for reminding teams that mugging opposing players on the sidelines is not allowed. I'm sure many of us were not clear on that.
"The league is checking into whether Westhoff violated a league rule by publicly calling out the Patriots. A 2008 league memo from commissioner Roger Goodell, printed in the San Francisco Chronicle and brought to light Thursday by ESPNBoston.com, warned every team that making false claims against other clubs could result in penalties."
I had forgotten about that. If the league had actually punished the Rats for that I might have remembered.
"A Jets spokesman deferred to the league for comment."
Oh NOW you defer to the league.....
I have one on my master list.You implied there was an entry for the raiders, but it isn't there.
lol, I know right, as if beating their asses on a regular basis wasn`t enough to make ther blood boil, on average, our IQ`s are clearly much higher as well. They comment with 5th grade level smack and make accusations that have yet to be proven true, and we provide REAL facts...oh well, sucks to be them....... thats for damn sure.This is why people don't like Patriots fans.
