would that be before or after the 1999 and 2000 world series wins are taken away from the skanks for winning with a juiced roger clemens?

not to start a debate or anything, but one player cheating to improve his personal performance is completely different than an entire organization cheating to improve the entire team's performance. that being said, i don't put much stock in any of that shit. everyone, at the very least, bends the rules.

There is no chance that the patriots were the ONLY franchise taping other teams signals. They may be the only team that got caught.

This part started to get me riled up BECAUSE OF COURSE the ENTIRE organization knew, but they just wanted to keep on WINNING, and Roger was the HORSE, he carried the LOAD, so of COURSE they IGNORED it.

(that's my Steven A. Smith imitation, I hope you liked it, Hell, I hope you LOVED it. 'Cause you SHOULD!)

But this part chilled me out some:

it will be interesting to see if there is some truth to the Pats taking video of the Ram's superbowl walk through. I think the league would actually have to act fairly aggressively if that were the case. Regardless, I don't think we have heard the last of this by any means.

They're not even the only team that's been caught- other teams have definitely been warned about doing it; the only difference here is that Mangini went public with it instead of letting the NFL handle it in-house. Once it went public the league had to punish the Pats and Belichick harshly.

In his press conference three days ago, Roger Goodell said that the taping of opponents' signals was a widespread practice. If you're a conspiracy theorist or someone looking for a reason to hate the Patriots, you can believe he's just covering up and that the Pats are the only team to have ever engaged in this practice. But you'd also be being a naive idiot; teams are allowed to have someone filming on the sidelines, it's not a stretch to believe that they'd try to use that to steal signals. A quick Google search will reveal plenty of articles written about this practice and the league's attempts to crack down on it before "Spygate" ever took place.

best superbowl in my lifetime.

**skikola** · 02-03-2008, 09:18 PM

Wow.
Amazing.
So happy right now.
Eli is the Man. O-Line are Men, Defense are Men.
Basically, the G-Men pushed the Pats around tonight.

SECOND best for me.

(Broncos/Packers SB was THE BEST for me.)

But what a game!

**pappag** · 02-03-2008, 09:24 PM

Hmmm ... well maybe Eli doesnt suck THAT much.

Giants fans can thank me for being the anti-jinx.

You are one classy dude!

Hey, Schindler and the rest of you bitches, fuck the fuck off!

(Feel better now?)

**schindlerpiste** · 02-03-2008, 09:50 PM

Y-E-S

**iceman** · 02-03-2008, 09:52 PM

Come over to Soli tuesday or wednesday and tell me about it.

My friend Doug (who you met) and his sailing buddies will be there Wednesday, it should be fun.

**72Twenty** · 02-03-2008, 09:53 PM

Heh, here is actually a pretty good recap of the Super Bowl...

It'll make you laugh.
