It's really simple jbem. We don't respect your team. We never will. And we know that deep down, you get that. It burns you up. You come here and you bicker and argue because you desperately NEED some kind of validation. But it's just never going to happen.
For the rest of your life every single time T*m Brady's name comes up, there's going to be that little tone. That little hesitation. Everybody who knows anything about football knows that he cheated. I'm sorry that you have spent too much of your life following a team that's robbed you of the opportunity to have a respectful and decent legacy. It's too bad. It really is. You have guys like Hernandez and Brady. Guys who leave a terrible stain on football and particularly on the New England Patriots.
That team that got their ***** handed to them by the Bears years ago in the Superbowl, they had more pride and respect than the collective bunch of woebegone cheaters that are sadly paraded in front of sports fans today. At least they got to the game on their own merit. Sure, they lost. But at least they didn't have to cheat to get there. What's really sad is that 95% of your team isn't even involved in the cheating scandal. That's what's really pathetic. They're merely going to be associated with it for the rest of their careers. You have perfectly good players who will never get the respect they deserve because they've played on teams that have had division titles and championships handed to them through a systematic program of deliberate linked cheating. Cheating is so systemic in the Patriots program that your coaches take it with them when they leave and pollute other teams with their sickness. Your former offensive coordinator (who's since been welcomed back,) attempted to pull the same twisted **** in Denver. They booted his *** because they couldn't stand the humiliation. Your team welcomed him back. Think about that.
The team you support, more specifically the leadership has a sickness. Their need to win is so great they've abandoned all decency, all regard for the rules and process of the game. Your coaches spend their time coming up with creative ways to circumvent the rules, to manipulate the referees and the red tape.
But I know I'm talking to a wall. Whether you can hear me or not you cannot bear to deal with it. To accept that your beloved team has blatantly, willfully and endlessly circumvented the rules in order to win games, increase profits and create a franchise would require you to chastise your baby, to scold your princess. We all know you can't do that. For the success, earned or not, of the P*triots somehow represents your own success. You relate. As New England succeeds, you succeed. The manner in which they win doesn't matter. This is, after all, America. If you cheat a little to get ahead - who doesn't? I mean really - isn't it true that if you aren't cheating you aren't really trying? It's so "immigrant" to simply believe that one get's ahead by working hard and simply performing better than one's competition. The Patriots of old, well they're all dead now. We have a brand new legislative body and things are done a bit differently these days. The British definitely ARE coming and you can bet we'll welcome them right in if they can give us the opposing team's playbook and perhaps dope the other team's QB for us. The fact is, any port in a storm and it's a global economy these days so - 1 if by land and 2 if by sea and Paul Revere can suck it because Ernie knows all the play calls and we have the radio frequency at all home games and as long as we can patch in to their headsets for away games too, we can't lose. But just in case, let's put some microphones on our defensive linemen so we can hear audibles too.
I'm sad for you jbem. But don't think for a minute that we aren't all fully aware of what's going on with your sad little attempts to purchase a little peace of mind. You just need to know that you simply can't afford it.
