The *official* "Screw you Bill Belichick, get the hell out of my favorite sport, you're ruining the game" thread about the lack any New England Patriots sportsmanship (Now w/ POLL)

Quick open letter to the head coach of the Patriots:

Dear Mr. Bill,

You're the head coach of the best team in football, congratulations on your tremendous efforts. Now fark off and leave the sport to those that do not just consider it simply a business because you're sucking the fun out of the game and ruining this sport for not only fans of the teams you embarass, but kids that are learning about something you seem to totally lack: sportsmanship.

Its easier to explain Janet Jackson's floppy booby during a wardrobe malfunction than the planned and continued deliberate actions taken by the players under your direction. Sure its your job to win games, are you not good enough to do it without constantly skirting the rules, using deception and just out and out farking cheating? You're a dirty, unkempt, embarassment to the game.

Get the hell out of the sport.

Sincerely,
- Fans of the NFL and the ultimate purveyors of your salary
Against which team would Tom Brady most likely suffer a career-ending injury?

New poll should be "Will the Patriots ever win another Super Bowl with Bill Belichick as head coach?"

Boys and 49ers were the exceptional teams in the 90s.
The Boys came down crashing hard, but not the 49ers. Anyone wanna guess why? NE will suffer the same fate as the Boys. History does repeat itself.
And how are the Niners doing now?

It's not the winning part. Did you notice that the Boys were on EVERY team's hit afterward?
As all defending champions are? Yes, I did notice that fact about every Super Bowl champion as long as I have been watching the game. That was the reason Elway gave for coming back after his first SB win. He wanted to play as the defending champion to experience what all of the other teams always talked about.

Imagine the Lakers being up by 30 points and Kobe doing 360, alley-oop dunks in the end of the 4th qtr. It's not pleasant or necessary. There's no rule, it's just being gentlemen.
A lot of players do that in the NBA.

More often than not, they don't, as they are on the bench.

Quote from Landers :
People came out at the beginning of the season slamming the Pats for "cheating". Which, unfortunately, they were doing. However, this just fueled for the fire for an already stellar New England team. They now have a point to prove this season and they are doing so with an iron fist.

Call it running up the score, call it whatever the fark you want, but the Pats are proving that they are THE dominant force in the NFL right now and are daring teams to try and stop them.
Yeah I think the NFL awoke a sleeping giant with that whole situation. I think if that never would have happened, they would be holding back against teams, but since it did they are showing the Jets game was no fluke.

Are you saying that no one is on the court? Just because the stars are on the bench doesn't mean the reserves can't have fun.

That is exactly what I was thinking. They were public challenged by everyone in the country, basically called cheaters. I think they are playing to prove everyone wrong....convincingly.

Denver and 49ers did not suffer the same fate as the Boys when they faded. It' all about the class.

Teams do not have to power to call for an investigation.
NE will pay for it down the line. I would not be surprised if some lineman deliberately take Brady out. It ain't worth it.

What the hell are you talking about? The only thing that NE will be paying for is tickets for family members to watch them play in the Super Bowl. Nobody is going to take Brady out deliberately....Once again, you are talking out of your ass.

So they'll deliberately injure a player because he is better than them? Wow, sounds EXACTLY like fair play and sportsmanship.

I think he's trying to prove a point that the Pats can easily dominate teams without the help of spy cameras. They are running up the score and going for it on 4th down to get back at all the critics who crucified them after the first week and "spygate". Think of it as a big middle finger to anyone that bitched and moaned about how "the Patriots only won 3 super bowls because they were cheating"

I have no problem with what they are doing, I would be doing the same thing.

It's perfectly fine and fair, but it is absolutely not the common call from coaches. It does show a lack of respect, sportsmanship, and class.

Don't bet on it. Brady is worth more to NE than their entire offense. NE will go down hard like the Boys in the 90s. Reap what you sow baby. By the way, did I tickle a nerve ending?

When you deliberately racking up points on a team you've already beaten, you show no respect to them. Don't expect the same from your opponent.
