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

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

Oh ... so the Pats continued to pass, not to run up the score, but to protect Brady. Rofl2
I think he was referring to the fact that they weren't going after Brady too hard. If it really bothered them then maybe they would have tried harder to get to him. Dontknow

Other teams don't do this?
Belichick is credited with starting this trend.

Quote from paperboy05 :
Dead horses.
One dead dog opened the doors to Vick's kennel. Belichick has proven to pull crap like this, even ignore warnings from the league ... what else is this culpable fark doing behind the scenes?

Quote from paperboy05 :
Speculation that it was the Patriots' fault.
Not the first time it has been talked about in the Lounge where during long drives the opponent's communication equipment suddenly gives out. Not speculation.

Quote from paperboy05 :
Huh What's wrong with this?

Quote from paperboy05 :
So I take it you have proof that BB broke communications for the 'Skins. Or that he calls the fake spike pass plays.
If I give you 50% proof (1 of 2) will you drink a big cup of shut-the-fark-up?

That was the second worst blown call in sport history. ESPN broadcasted the top ten last year.
Actually, you are talking out of your ass again. It wasn't a blown call, it was called correctly according to the rules. Here is ESPN's top ten blown calls list:

1. Denkinger calls Royals' Orta safe at first
2. Colorado's fifth down
3. Soviets get extra time in 1972 Olympic hoops
4. Jeffrey Maier assists Jeter home run
5. Brett Hull's skate in the crease
6. Maradona's "Hand of God"
7. Thanksgiving Day coin flip flap
8. Mike Renfro ruled out of bounds
9. Eric Gregg's wide strike zone
10. Charles White's TD and fumble in 1979 Rose Bowl

I wonder how Rammy's opinion would change if he was a Pats fan or this happened to his team.

About the same way Striker does playing with his fleshlight. Ecstatic yet sickened by the means.

All jokes aside, if you're talking about running up the score, I would be against it, probably not as vocal about it, but I sure as hell wouldn't endorse it OR DEFEND IT. His continued actions are repugnant, plain and simple and have no place in sports which leads to the next question: where do we draw the line between the NFL being a sport and a business.

I am not endorsing or defending it either. I am only criticizing the athletes who are getting paid millions of dollars but still find a need to cry about it. They are professionals, let's see them act like it.

Which atheletes are these? There's a can't win scenario.

Complain about it: "These guys should stop whining, they're professionals."
Don't complain: "See, these guys don't have a problem with it so why should you?"

Be careful what you wish for. I wouldn't be surprised if Indy ends Brady's season this Sunday. Indy's defense is better than NE.

So, trying to mislead an opposing team is a new thing? Just because the methods have changed doesn't mean the underlying reason was never there.

You're right, it's speculation and rumors, not just the former.

So in your opinion, would Marino qualify under that?

I didn't wish for anything. You keep failing to retain a particular piece of information.....I am not a Pats fan.

Disgruntled sports fans have their own unique brand of tunnel vision.
