When people bitched and moaned about the Steelers or Ravens or Cowboys or any of the teams people alluded were getting " all" the calls, they still often ended up with penalties and controversial calls against them... this is a weird streak of pro Pats league driven calls... everything in their favor... i mean one would think with the ratings like they are they would try to look fair and balanced

In all seriousness, if this piece of **** team is handed another Lombardi, I may very well be done. For 15 years these ******** have cheated their way to wins, and the league has complied. Now, they're not even attempting to hide it. There seriously needs to be an independent (NOT RUN BY THE NFL) investigation into this ****. I blame the ******* owners for allowing this to continue. This is the exact same road NASCAR went down, where one team (Hendrick) didn't have to abide by the rules that everybody else did, but this is worse. And just like NASCAR, this will destroy the sport. **** New England, **** Brady, **** Kraft, **** Belicheat, **** Goodell, and **** the NFL!

The league has to make sure they get home playoff games every year. Otherwise they may lose their completely illegal radio scrambling advantage.

Here is the thing. There is A LOT of money in the New England states. As long as the Paterisks are winning that big money will be spent on the Cheatriots and the NFL. Gillette Stadium was built and moved to Foxshit area in 2000. Before this they had a very difficult time filling a stadium. However, since the new building they have won 5 championships and hosted several playoff games. Money in the Masshole Krafty Cheating ***** pockets and....get this, the NFL.
Without winning records the fan base was fickle. Minus one season in the 80s. They had the ****** Red Sox and Bruins to root for, and they were more loyal to those franchises until their seasons were over. Now, with a “dynasty” team in foolsballs, when Marcia and Coach Chugg a Dick leave the game on that gay as **** white unicorn sharting rainbow trails in their wake, the fan base should remain through the expected hard years.
Money! It’s all about money. When we have bad seasons. The Steeler fan base stays true and spends its hard earned money. Same in Philly, Dallas, Chicago, Green Bay, and a few other cities. Ask San Diego where their Chargers are.
However, I believe this will backfire on the NFL when that team stops winning, it will wind up line Seattle up there. Miserable **** people and disloyal fans not supporting the team, but rather talking **** about the glory years.
Maybe they’ll get all hopped up and get pitch forks and torches to burn down Gillette and melt the Marcia statue for the copper.

One that they get away with all game long is Gronk coming off the line. The dude grabs his defender and throws them to the side. That is a blatant hold. He can block the dude but he can't grab him and throw him around. It happens all game, every game and I have never seen it called.

Not to mention they run an illegal screen on most of their pass plays designed to go over the middle. I guess Belichecks's theory is that if you do it every time they can't keep calling it. The irony is they don't even have to worry about it because the refs have no interest in calling it. They might even get in trouble from the league office if they do start calling it.
I hope to God that after some of these refs retire and don't give a **** any more they have the guts to come out and admit that the league pressured them to the Pats every favorable call possible and to overlook their cheating. They deserve to be viewed as the Barry Bonds of Pro Football forever.

It's more than just money in one area. It's about high drama and big TV ratings. The more theatrics, the more butts in seats for SBs.
The owners are businessmen and women. They get that they own an entertainment franchise.
Consider, if you LOVED football and the game so much, how could you bear to own a ****** team like the Jags, or the Bills or the Browns and just watch them get pummeled year after year after year?
If you're in it for the FOOTBALL, you couldn't. You'd eat a f'n shotgun. But if you're in it for the shared TV revenue... Well then, that's a business!
Keep in mind- even the Browns are a profitable team. Without the shared TV revenue... The Browns and Jax and some other teams would fold due to losing money.
Follow the revenue stream. It leads to TV, and that leads to Kraft. But the MOST important thing to the NFL is that we watch. They MUST generate enough drama and interest to keep us watching.
