The Patriots are dirty; what else is new?

One thing that amazes me from time to time is how Patriot fans don't realize why everyone else dislikes their team. Never mind that their head coach dresses like a hobo, has the personality of an eggplant, and orchestrated one of the biggest cheating scandals in the history of professional sports. Never mind that they continually run up the score against opponents. Never mind that their coach also acts like a little crybaby by refusing to shake hands after a game with certain opposing head coaches. Oh - and we can't forget that Rodney Harrison, one of the game's dirtiest players, was found to be on steroids - well, technically HGH (still illegal).
Now we have players complaining that the numerous Patriot players were playing with malicious intent. Below is an excerpt from a Miami Herald article:
Dolphins linebacker Akin Ayodele on Monday accused New England of taking ''malicious,'' potentially injurious shots after the whistle, helping to provoke the Dolphins into the late-game emotional meltdown. And Ayodele wasn't just talking about Sunday.
Ayodele, who faced the Patriots in a high-profile game last season while with Dallas, said big-game emotions run high, ``but usually this only happens when you play the Patriots. I know every time I've been in games like that, it's mostly when you play those guys.''
Ayodele told reporters to watch the broadcast of the game and see what happens after the whistle. He said he thought officials let cheap shots after the play go to the point that players believed they had to take action to defend themselves or teammates. Dolphins nose guard Jason Ferguson said officials didn't try to take control of the game until it was too late.
Wow. Shocking, right? The Patriots are a dirty team? No. Can't be. ESPN loves them too much for them to be a dirty, classless team.
Oh well. What goes around, comes around. And they'll eventually get what's coming to them. I'll let the "karma police" handle them.

You know that the NFL can’t have their precious Patsies miss the post-season. So they’ll never call them out on these shenanigans either. I still think the biggest joke was the so-called penalty for Spygate. They still got a top ten draft pick out of the deal.
Either way, it’s a freakin’ load how that team full of twatwaffles can get away with just about anything they do. I thought karma was trying to make those schmucks get the hint when Brady went down…apparently they didn’t get the memo. The football gods will smite some homeless-coach fools!

Why is nobody talking about Randy Moss´ offensive interference for his last TD when it was a 3 point game???

Moss not cheap or dirty
Yes it should have been called, and yes I do believe the game we all love is rigged (more on that later) but in no way was Randy Moss’s push dirty or cheap. Every WR has been caught on tape, whether they are flagged or not, in their career. It is a common pratice amongst WR and something that will continue to take place.
We can complain about how cheap the Pats are but it won’t work, I live in New England and everyone thought Matt Light was defending his self, and there was no changing their minds on that. But sports as is eveything else is Political. The Pats were deemed selfless and a class act by everyone when they won their championships that no way are the networks going to change that now after all the things Matty lister above.
Back the rigging in recent years:
2001 World Trade Centers collapse: Who else to be better off to win the Superbowl to show Patriotism? The Pats
2005 Jerome Bettis announces his last year, why not go out winning the Super Bowl in your home town!
2006 New Orleans gets destroyed who else to have a better heart felt story but the Saints!
Granted the officials can only do so much to make the games look as if they weren’t called but the Pats were set up to finish their perfect season with a win last year!

Going to have to go with Husk...
K2……..Do you REALLY feel the NFL is rigged…that even sounds silly. Probably the least rigged professional sport out there! Kind of like profiling…..Lets see..I am at the airport and beside me to my right is an old grandma with her grand children and to my left is a Muslim guy wearing an extra towel on top of the towel on his head. Who has the bomb?
I don’t know either but I sure felt better when that Muslim guy got on another flight.
Regardless… my own view is that referees guess some of the time..it is so easy to see fouls when they are in slow motion but with the speed of this game it is sometimes impossible. How many times have you seen refs huddled up after a flag..what the hell are they saying?…If they had to keep their mics on it would sound something like this….What are you calling? Pass interference I think? Did you see him holding? Who? The guy you threw the flag on. I saw something. What did you see? The big lineman blocked my view but it looked like the short guy put his hands up pretty quick…I mean that’s Randy Moss I like him and he don’t drop many so it must be interference. Call it! O.K. You want to go to Fridays when we get out of here? Absolutely….Keep this game out of overtime and we can be there in an hour!……PASS INTERFERENCE…DEFENSE…..
Real truth…When you show the play in slo-mo you can clearly see Moss holding….but..so we get the call…could we have kept them out of the endzone? We hadn’t done it all day. We ENTIRELY gave up TOO many BIG PLAYS..that’s almost as disappointing to me as not winning.
The Pats do play dirty…The league says that not just Dolphans……
In my own opinion…I do feel that last year even the Refs wanted to see the Pats go perfect…Remember the Ravens game…There were alot of “questionable” calls to keep Pats drives alive. I fully believe that in the superbowl on the pats last possession even Brady was shocked when he slung it down field and did not get a PI penalty to keep their drive alive…I am sure those refs were looking for anything to call but it was just too clean.
All in All I think the refs do the best they can…Winning teams are probably going to get the benefit of the doubt.

ok well as far as Moss goes i will never respect him, even if he makes a catch w/ his scrotum to win the super bowl… i will never forget the time he scored a TD and rubbed his ass all up & down the goalposts… burned into my mind, thx for that… such a class act… makes T.O. look like Mother Theresa imho

The rubbing the ass thing
was a simulated mooning because Packers fans apparently are known for mooning the opposing team’s bus.
If he catches it with his scrotum, I swear I’ll never be able to watch football again. Ever.
And TO as Mother Theresa??? No friggin way. TO is one of the biggest assholes in the league. I can’t stand him. If he disappeared from the NFL tomorrow I’d celebrate.

Just saying
Football is not rigged for every game but it is all money. The Refs do have an effect on the game, I knew this would be an unpopular post. However I took officiating classes a couple summers ago to officiate for High School football. We had an excollege ref come in to speak and afterward he said you watch the big games and see what the refs do to cover the spread.
The whole point of this was to point out how much the NFL loves the Pats and how often refs effect out comes of the game.

Who cares if you ruffled a few feathers
you’re probably right that there is some shenaniganry going on. At least if not on purpose, then the inevitability of missed calls because refs are fans too… fans with the best seat in the house to watch games.
Like during the magical eli manning to david tyree play. Those gmen oline were blatantly holding, but it was an amazing play. Who’d want to see that called back? Made for a great historic game.

Moss has done it his whole career
Next time some old Vikings game with him is on ESPN classic, watch and you’ll see the same thing. He knows the line and he goes up to it all the time.

It's Ok because our
team is taking on the personality of our coach and FO. These guys are a bunch of tough SOB’s and I bet we will have prime time games with those bums until there is a coaching change. Look out NE you have a new team on the block and were not intimadated by your antics. God I hope we get these guys one more time this yr.

Killing me....
We know the Pats Suck…We know they play dirty….I also feel that ESPN has some sort of “mancrush” on them….Pats Fans have No Clue…As proof of this I owe the hot girl 2 doors down from my warehouse a Lunch bet from the game….How could she be so good looking and a Stupid Pats Fan.Where is the balance?
I guess being smart and hot would scare the shit out of most guys…..it is so rare.
Anyway..kudos on the Eggplant thing…that was funny…then follow it up with the twatwaffles and that made me laugh even harder…..so much fun for free..why would you ever need to go any where else than here?

Bristol...its their home team..duhhhhh
thats why the red sox get so much knob shining…
for the record…the pats DO NOT suck. they pretty much are the anti-suck in the dictonary. But i hate them….and they cheat..and play Dirty.
Matty said Harrison is dirty..but its a proven FACT. he is voted dirtiest player every season by his fellow players…its a FACT!
they cheated..lied..played dumb. but i dont care…im not a sore loser….life comes in cycles and theirs is over in 2 years max.Once Moss is gone and the line is that much older its a wrap. not to mention how old the entire defense is. well get better..they will get worse…and itll be fun kicking their ass into 2020

Old Players..
The point that Rzayo brought up is probably the most overlooked point going for the Pats…The age of the Pats Defense vs. the age of our Defense or most of the NFL defenses …..might even catch up with them next year. I am surprised we don’t see more Patriot players doing Viagra commercials. :)

Not that i dont love seeing bad shit happen to the Pats...
…But i think we are a little spoiled. Yes the Pats are good again this year, but if you can recall while you read this, just how good you felt when Mr. Amazing Tom Brady has his knee erupt. Week 1, Brady goes down, the headline still makes me feel great.

3 or 4 games
With the uncertainty of Brady and how well Cassell has been playing… The next 3 or 4 games he plays determines what contract the Pats offer him…If he keeps playing this well I see the Pats offering him a pretty substantial contract…BUT…He may hold out and shop himself around..knowing that when Brady is better he is the man. Who is sold on him yet? With the exception of a high expectations Pats fans put on him..He has just about a good everything to make a rookie or newbie QB look great….Wilford..Moss…Welker…Welker….Welker…….Big Fat Juicy “O” Line……Old but very effective defense……I give the guy Kudos..he has played well and he has good mechanics…but proven…I am not convinced……..But what do I know..hell…I still think Beck is way above average..LOL…
