People hate the pats because they're cheaters in a sport where cheating isnt acceptable. If it was baseball people would laugh it off. If the pats lost consistently people would laugh it off. But if you win consistently in football while cheating people hate you. The saints had the same exact stain when they were producing. Now look at them, people dont even care that they are a dirty team because they struggle for 8-8 seasons. Dont get me wrong though, i think the pats only cheat slightly more than the other NFL teams, and only because their coach is more crafty than other coaches.


...clearly you have never player a single down of organized football . Cheating in football starts at the Pop Warner level , so much so that they finally had to institute picture i.d.'s for the players to prevent coaches from bringing in ringers . I've seen kids as young as 11 years old abusing caffeine powder for that extra edge , coaches from other teams filming practices and intentional violations of the weight restrictions which are there to protect the players . I had one kid show up for registration with a birth certificate that said he was 12 years old while sporting a full mustache . The very worst of it was coaches encouraging their players to intentionally injure the kids on the other team with their helmets . When cheating is encouraged from the very beginning you can bet the mentality remains all the way through high school , college and the pro's .

OMGZ a white man who will listen to a black woman, THE END OF WASP SUPREMACY AS WE KNOW IT.

You guys are just mad you have no talent.

If Beta Bernie is greater than any in your freak show what does that say about your team?

At bold this was a very rare happening, and even in my day intentional spearing was a immediate removal from the game. I only witnessed it once we played E. St. Louis and our MLB speared their RB. as/per our def coaches asking he broke his face mask and ran the center piece into his forehead, it was a pretty ugly wound, but he did take out the RB for the game with bruised ribs.

I played tackle football from 3rd. grade to my varsity year, and yeah there were coaches that might exploit a rule here and there or a friend of a alumn may happen to tape a practice of a team that you haven't played in a while but honestly those cheats didn't matter much at those levels of play. A good block and a attempted arm tackle would mean a score more often than reading a defense properly.

I think the difference is the Pro.s like it or not have a huge fan base, and with it carry an element of hero worship from a lot of kids. When kids see the Pats. cheat time and again and succeed, and win the SuperBowl it sends a shitty message. I don't like the fact that men who get charged and convicted of felonies are allowed to return to the sport. I think there is enough talent out there to be able to keep a clean good sportsmanship image. Kids don't need to see cheaters prosper.

People cheat in all sports, but cheating isnt accepted in all sports by fans. Cheating in football is treated most harshly. Whereas baseball, depending on the type of cheating, the fan base laughs it off and doesnt look at the cheater harshly. Sure a guy with too much pinetar on his bat may get kicked out, but everyone laughs. Same with a corked bat or a file in the glove. Also alot of the mentality of what you describe in pop warner doesnt translate to my experience of pop warner. We would play cheating teams, usually from milwaukee, but most teams didnt try to cheat any more than sneaking holds at the line or stepping on someone you could have avoided, that level of cheating will of course always remain, i was more referring to premeditated cheating.

There's a difference between getting walked on (which is what Sanders did) and having a useful dialog (which is what Clinton did). Sanders is a sad, weak, pathetic, old man and would be a terrible president. I applaud his positive attitude though. Kudos to him in that regard.

Why do you constantly associate me with Republicans? How many fucking times do I have to say that I'm voting for Hillary?

Do you at least support abortion in the case of rape or incest? Because that logic works out just fine until applied to those situations.

No. It's not the baby's fault how it came into being.
