Driving you crazy, aint it POPS.
You can't possibly attempt to confuse or obfuscate the fact that the **'s have blatantly cheated. They did this to themselves. Nobody forced them. They made the deal with the devil as with all such deals, payment eventually comes due. And the price is always higher than the value of the goods purchased.
3 tainted superbowl wins that really go to the kicker in the end, a handful of division victories in the typically weak AFC East, and the knowledge of every football fan in the world that the **'s cheated every step of the way.
Not one guy on that team is ever going to truly get the respect they think they deserve. There will ALWAYS be the * hanging over their head. They earned it. They scratched and dug, and manipulated their way to it.
I hope they choke on it. They've virtually ruined the game. Them and Goodell who allowed it to happen when he hid the audio signal stealing in the Spygate scandal and allowed them to continue it. Had Goodell acted decisively and properly at the time the league would have been better for it. But they wanted a dynasty again in the face of parity. So, the owners themselves sold their souls for a "hero".
But instead they got a villain. Worse even... a fallen hero. A liar who's built his name upon the good faith and trust of people he was taking advantage of all the time. And when those people found out that they were cheated, fooled and made to look like fools.
Well, let's just say you don't much want to be the guy who did that, do you? Kraft, Adams, Bellichick and Brady have taken the best game in the world and put it on the edge of ruin. They really have. The masses are just a step away from knowing that the games are fixed, that there's a script to the season.
Now the best thing Roger can do is mass damage control and see to it that the **s are destroyed by the Seahawks. Anything short of an epic beatdown by 28+ points leaves America with serious questions about how the **s managed to cheat in the Superbowl. Because we DO know they'll cheat. We KNOW that Roger will find a way to cover it up when they do.
No, it's in Roger's best interest and the league's best interest to have the Seahawks obliterate the **'s from the opening kickoff.
