The Friday Question - Patriots
Well, it’s almost the end of Friday and I’m late with this post, but there is still some time left before tomorrow night’s big game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, so here it is anyways.
The Patsies have a chance to go undefeated and I am curious what everyone thinks about it. So the question is:
Do you want the Patriots to break the record or not?
I can answer this with a resounding NO!
I can’t stand the Patriots and Bill Belichek and Tom Brady and yadda, yadda, yadda. I can’t imagine a less loved team breaking this hallowed record.
And since we’re on records, Brady is close to breaking Peyton Manning’s record of 49 touchdown passes in a season. Brady is at 48, meaning he needs just two to be the new record holder.
Ugh, I know he’s good and all, but I just don’t want anyone on that team to be remembered for a season of perfection and record breaking. I don’t know if it stems from their cheating early on, or just the arrogant way they carry themselves.
But I’m hoping the Giants rise up tomorrow and kick the crap out of them.
What about you?

Also, I really don't get why so many people hate them because they win. I wish my home teams had this kind of success. And nobody even bring up the cheating scandal. Besides the fact the Patriots were caught before halftime (before viewing those tapes), it would be completely naive to think that all NFL teams aren't cheating. The league has laughable drug testing. Heck, they don't even test for HGH. If a highly paid professional feels he can get away with something that will give him a competitive edge, they will do it.
Plus, any team that brings Randy Moss in AND transforms him into a team player has to be doing something right.
Also, I'm a Peyton Manning fan but even I am a little put off by ALL the commercials he's on. To me they show a little more "I'm the best" arrogance than any Patriots player has.
Anyways, 19-0 so those Old Dolphin players can be quiet :)

And people hate the Patriots because they are smug, they've run up the score on tons of teams when they could have just sat back. Going for it on 4th and 3 when you are up 45 points?
And as far as the cheating thing, maybe teams cheat, but they were caught and that counts for something. Drug testing is an entirely different thing. If they don't test for HGH, and people use it, it's not really against the rules, this not cheating :)
Anyways, regardless, I just don't like them, never have. Probably has more to do with their head coach than anything else.

I agree that most of the smugness comes from the coach. He's the one to blame for most of those things. But whatever, it doesn't take away from the team's talent.
Also, HGH is a banned substance, it's just not tested. So it still is against the rules :)
Again I'm not saying that I have proof of any HGH use, but I'm no dummy either :)

Good job by the Giants coming out with guns blazing and giving us football fans a great game. They could have saved themselves for the playoffs, but they knew what this meant.
The Patriots still have to win the Super Bowl for their undefeated season to match the '72 Dolphins, but going 16-0 is pretty amazing.
