Cheaters. That is what my Granny would have said. She then would have said: “They don’t belong in the Super Bowl if they’re a bunch of cheaters.”
There Granny, I said it for you.
Granny was right.
So…what is the price for being a cheater? Lose a few draft picks in 2015? Whatever…
That still doesn’t dismiss the fact that the New England Patriots cheated. What do you expect? It worked out okay in the past when they were exposed as cheats. I know…I know…there are some of you out there who are of the philosophical nature that adheres to the old adage “if you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t trying”. Well, if you believe that, you are a cheater too. Shame on you.
I knew of some cheaters when I was a younger man. These guys were on the sideline of the opposing high school team. They…or should I say…one of them…had enough football acumen to decipher what he heard when an opposing coach made a call for a run to go to the left or the right…or if it was pass. When it was going left he would signal to a defender in the huddle…who was also a cheater…by scratching his left ear. If it was a pass he scratched his forehead. Cheaters.
Will this come back to bite Coach Bill Belichick on hindparts? I doubt it. After all, it has worked out so far.
His team played with under-inflated balls against the Colts last Sunday. Cheaters.
This is the same guy that did not shake Tom Coughlin’s hand after the Giants beat the Patriots in the 2007 season’s Super Bowl. Sore Loser and Cheater.
Will this keep Bill Belichick out of the Hall of Fame? I doubt it. Seems cheating is a little more acceptable these days. When the Pats were caught taping Jets signals a few years ago it was treated rather novel.
The Patriots need to change names with the Oakland Raiders. That should be their penalty. The Oakland Patriots and the New England Raiders. That sounds much better. After all, Bill Belichick is allowed to take a pair of scissors to his sweatshirt when the league would not let former 49ers coach, Mike Nolan, wear a dress suit on the sideline. This did not meet the NFL’s dress code? Translation: Belichick’s sweatshirt was available for purchase on a website and after a fan paid 70 bucks for it, said fan could also take scissors to his or her sweatshirt and make it like the sophomoric Belichick’s. Nolan’s suits were not available on the league’s website. Pathetic.
The team we love to hate? Not me. I just get mad at them when they cheat. Otherwise, I don’t care if they play. In fact, they shouldn’t play. They’re…as Granny would put it….cheaters.
Speaking the rights.
