Okay, let's elaborate on that. What have the Patriots done that you consider cheating? (And calm down haters, I'm not saying they do or don't, I just want Dot Com's specific opinion.)

It doesn't even matter. The Pats won the Superbowl. Season is over. They can keep crying if they want . . . to no avail. Their OPINIONS don't really matter.

The plot thickens (or deflates further)...

New England Patriots employee gave unapproved ball to official Outside The Lines reports - ESPN

Hmmmm, now Schefter is reporting that an NFL official has been fired for stealing AFC Championship game balls with an intent to sell them. Not only that, but according to Schefter, Jim McNally (Pats employee mentioned in the OTL report) was given the unapproved ball by a LEAGUE OFFICIAL, who noticed balls were missing (stolen) and tried to replace them.

More and more I'm feeling like a lot of people owe the Patriots a damn apology.

Nobody owes the Patriots an apology. They're cheaters.

If you had any class at all, Gatsby you'd admit that the ESPN "report" was premature and misleading. Instead of waiting to get the facts ESPN went with a story that it seem like Jim McNally (a Patriots employee) was doing something nefarious. It turns out that McNally was just the guy who the NFL official that was stealing gameballs tried to use to cover his tracks. ESPN owes the Patriots and McNally an apology and so do you.

I was speaking of the Pats cheating in general recently and over the years. Just because ESPN may not have gotten a story right doesn't absolve the Pats of their cheating ways.

Recently? Dude, this firestorm over ball inflation is the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen in the sports world! Outlets like ESPN went with stories insinuating that the Patriots had deliberately under-inflated those game balls and every single one of them has either been proven to be totally false or hasn't been subsequently proven! ESPN got the McNally story about as wrong as you possibly could and you STILL won't admit that the Patriots were wrongly accused!

Major breaking story! The Colts DB who intercepted Brady felt the ball was soft and alerted his coaches who alerted the NFL officials. Proof positive that the Patriots were cheating! Oh, wait...the DB says at the Pro Bowl that he didn't notice anything different about the ball and didn't tell his coaches anything. Whoops...

Major breaking story! Unnamed sources report that the Patriot's game balls were under-inflated far below the allowable limit!!! Proof positive that the Patriots were caught red handed cheating! Oh, wait...now unnamed sources are reporting that only one ball was under-inflated far below the allowable limit and that was the ball that the Colts had in THEIR possession...all of the other balls were only slightly under-inflated, something that would naturally occur taking them from a 70 degree room inside to a 40 degrees and wet outside. Whoops...

Major breaking story! Patriots employee took the balls from the officials room to another room before taking them to the field!!! PROOF positive that they were up to something nefarious!!! Oh, wait...it was just the ball boy going to the bathroom for 90 seconds before heading up to the field. Whoops...

Major breaking story! A Patriots employee tried to slip an unconforming ball into the game!!! PROOF positive that they were up to something nefarious!!! Oh wait...it was someone else, an NFL official, that was up to no good. He was stealing game balls to sell and the Patriot's employee was totally not involved. Whoops...

All along...news outlets like ESPN have gone with stories based on leaks that turned out not to be credible. Why? Because people like YOU eat that shit up with a spoon because you hate the Patriots! ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for the way they've handled this.

You find one alleged inconsistency and all of the sudden you want to exonerate the Pats. Try looking at things not through homer glasses.

One inconsistency? Dude, it's been one inconsistency after another! News outlets have been going with rumor and innuendo instead of facts right from the start of this. The stories come out...an uproar ensues...and then the story turns out not to be anything like what it was purported to be. Whatever happened to a presumption of innocence? Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?

Stop shooting the messenger and take accountability for your cheating, fanboy.

"Dude"? are you < 20 yrs old? If not, thats creepy for an old guy to be using that term unless you're a stoner.

And "one inconsistency"? Perhaps you forgot about Spygate as well. 2007 New England Patriots videotaping controversy - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The 2007 New England Patriots videotaping controversy, widely dubbed "Spygate",[1][2] refers to an incident during the National Football League's (NFL) 2007 season when the New England Patriots were disciplined by the league for videotaping New York Jets' defensive coaches' signals during a September 9, 2007 game from a sideline location. The act was deemed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to be in violation of league rules. After an investigation, the NFL fined Patriots head coach Bill Belichick $500,000 (the maximum allowed by the league and the largest fine ever imposed on a coach in the league's 87-year history)

Where are the responses to my questions? Gatsby and Dot Com - I asked you very specific questions. You wouldn't be trying to avoid them, would you?

What was Spygate, exactly? Without relying on Wikipedia for help. What happened there?
