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?"

Quote from Greerzilla :
I'm not saying they aren't one hell of a good team. In fact, I respected them before this year, and even a little bit after the cheating came to light.

The only place we disagree is on the unwritten rules. For me, it's not about feeling sorry for the losing team. It's just about class. Why not "settle" for a field goal on 4th down in that situation. It doens't mean the pats stopped playing by any means, it just shows some respect for the game. If they had scored on 3rd and 10 with a 70 yard run, I wouldn't call that running up the score.
I understand your side of the discussion about the unwritten rules. I will concede the field goal argument but you can't expect a team to stop playing in the 4th quarter just because they are winning by a large margin. Belichick did pull Brady out of the game and the back-up QB scored. The Skins have to stop someone and maybe show some pride and play the full 60 minutes.

My point exactly. They don't have to stop playing, but they shouldn't be going for big scores. If they were truly trying to win the game, then running out the clock is the best bet because their goal is to keep the other offense from scoring at that point. Also, not "risking" a 4th down converesion instead of an easy field goal is also the best. Of course, they were up so much they weren't at risk of losing even if they had missed the conversion or even earlier thrown and interception while passing when they should have been running.

My argument ignores the redskins, because they don't matter in my view. I will agree that a team shouldn't ever give up and should have some pride in themselves. However, they are human no matter how much money they make (and I think they make plenty).

Again, for someone who claimed he's no fan of NE but defend them in every responses. Can you please address that for us? Oh wait, if NE win, you'll be the first to gloat all over the place and post with the in your face attitude style. SEE, I TOLD YOU SO. But if NE loses, you'll say, "it was a good game", and move onward. You know, I hope Billy boy leaves Brady in the game if they are leading. I can't wait until an Indy player dislocated his shoulder in exchange for a NE win. I am sure Indy will take that for a loss.
Why would you wish for someone to be injured like that. You are such a prick.

Gibbs said it best on Monday " don't put yourself in that situation and you don't have to worry what the other team is doing"

Quote from rybal :
Iagree that's why I'm a lot more annoyed @ the Skins for tanking & lack of effort than Belichick for putting some whoopass on. Hell if you're down 45-0 in the 4th and they are still running the score up, jump the snap count and level Brady unabated.
... because that's not typical of a Joe Gibb's coached team ...

(I didn't see the 2nd half, I was playing Mr. Mom)

Quote from paperboy05 :
Since you still haven't given me 1/2 for either BB tampering with opposing teams equipment or he was the one that was calling the fake snap plays, then I won't hold up my end.
So All-American Tom Brady is the culprit for those plays? So if someone takes out his knees and ruins his career it is not BB fault, but TB. Just curious.

Quote from paperboy05 :
Are you changing what I said? I never doubted they ran the play (I saw them both), what I was doubting was whether or not BB called the play (as you suggested) or if Brady did at the line.
Ok, I wasn't sure either. Looks like the Miami game it was Brady. Who calls the 2 minute offense in general for the Pats? Dontknow

I do not wish injury upon a person, I really don't. However ... based on their actions, I sure as hell wouldn't shed a tear as "they had it coming to them". If a pedophile gets jailed then ... :shrug:

None of Dungy's players wil intentionally injure Brady or any other Patriot come Sunday afternoon. However, if BB keeps doing what he is doing, I seriously wouldn't rule this out from most of the other teams in the league.

It could be on purpose (late hit to the knee) or it could just be a freak thing (pulled hamstring/groin) that knocks out pretty boy Brady Smilie...and BB leaving him in there when the game's outcome has already been decided is ridiculous enough, let alone piling on the scores for whatever reason.

I vote it'll be Peyton Manning that takes out Brady's knee to keep him from breaking his record. EEK!
