It sounds to me like what you are really bothered by is not that the Patriots lost, not that they were caught on video at an invite-only get together (a true camera video taping scandal if you will, by the way; what kind of friend films that and sells that to whomever or publicly posts it?) Rather you are instead bothered by other people - whether they be in person or on a comments section that attracts knuckle-draggers - that are saying things you don't like and can't handle.
If it's the latter then the solution is simple; stay away from espn.com, nfl.com, etcetera. If it's the former use your head and come up with a response that shows they can't get to you. For example shrug it off and say, 'hey, to me the team overachieved with all the injuries they had on defense. To even get that far was awesome. I'm incredibly proud of the team to have made it to five super bowls in eleven years.' If your neighbors, co-workers or whoever it is are still giving you a hard time and bring up 'haven't won since', just say something like 'the way I see the fact their winning percentage is higher since then pretty much proves the filming had nothing to do with winning'.
Do you really, honestly think fans of opposing teams were really going to stop if the Pats had won? Your delusional if you think that would have been the case.
And yes I'd rather root for a never was team than root for a team that the past 6 years has been the equivalent of dating the girl of your dreams only to find out after a year that she was just being paid to date you.
Where do you get off with that attitude? If that's the way you feel, go root for the Browns or Bengals or whomever. Just be sure to switch allegiance if they ever get close so you won't be let down.
Fact is, Brady/Belichick are NEVER winning a SB again
Since you can so accurately predict the future with unwavering precision, how is it that you didn't know this so-called fact at any point in the past six years?
This team owes you nothing. There are 31 other teams with talented athletes and smart coaches all trying to win. Your ridiculous expectations for perfection are an embarrassment. People like you are a prime example why other call fans of the Patriots spoiled and arrogant, which is part of why they hate the team so much - and ironically, why they mock you and other fans, which you detest and cannot handle.
Please do both yourself and everyone else that is a fan of the Patriots a favor by finding another team to follow and root for - or ***** about.
