It's only one senator asking questions for about 2 hrs. I don't see the harm in it.

Could he really be doing anything more productive in those 2 hours? I don't think so.

There isn't necessarily any harm in having the gov't involved, but it seems fucking ridiculous.

Let's break down and look what Billy boy did....he recorded another team practicing and during games.....last time I checked the government should have better things to be doing than worrying about shit like this.

I know he probably broke some contract/rule of the sport, but that should be handled by the commissioner and his lawyers....why is the government involved? It doesn't make sense to me.

ARen't we at war? Isn't there health care problems? I could go on forever...

This tears it for me. Not even as a Steelers fan, just lookng at the fact that they got to exactly half of their Super Bowls by beating Steelers teams in the AFC Championship.

And not to mention the 1 or 2 games they played in the playoffs that werent the AFC championship.

Hah, its funny how some of you are just now realizing this. This is exactly what i've been saying the entire time. Steeler and Colts fans should be especially pissed; how many times did they lose to the Pats in big games? Who knows what footage bellichick had on Dungy's and Cowhers' signals, and on Manning's audibles. This season was the ultimate karma if you ask me, and lemme tell you, it was daaaamn sweet.

And just like how one person can say Bonds is the greatest hitter ever, and someone can reply with "Yeah but he's roided out," when someone says the Pats are the best team ever, its just as easy to say "Yeah but they filmed their opponents and then lost when it mattered most. To an average, at best, team, no less!" I can think of a couple past football teams that would take out last seasons Pats... Steel Curtain Steelers, Montana's 9ers... they'd fuck brady up even worse than the Giants did with those defenses.


Oh, and my fav response has been "still better than your record ever was or ever will be, fags." like it was YOUR record or something. You probably say shit like "we gotta win this weekend!" when you're referring to your team, dont you?

Intelligent and well thought-out comeback there, Trog.

That being said...this topic is old as fuck, AEnima...just let it die.

Eh, dont worry about trog. Thats what happens on this board; when someone makes a decent point, they'll usually get flamed.

And to stay on topic, I wont let this die. Ever. Letting it die, im sure, is exactly what the pats and their fans want to happen. No way im letting it die, especially with how fuckin smug Pats fans were. Besides, its one of the biggest stories in sports right now. It'll be the top sports story again once the NCAA tourney is over.

Its just SO fuckin sweet to hear everything i've been saying come up on ESPN, just the way i said it. I was fuckin right, and thats why the best some can come up with is "cat killer" shit and old flames, which is by the way, hilarious that you guys will bring up the cat story all the time. Buuut, what are you gonna do? Thats the best most got around here; tired and used flames.

Jesus. Christ. You act like Spygate was fucking 9/11. "We can't let it die, because that's what the TERRORISTS want!" It won't be the big story EVER AGAIN. After the NCAA tourney, it'll be baseball season and into the swing of the NBA season, and football will hibernate until the new season starts like it ALWAYS DOES. It'll probably be mentioned in the draft because the lost a pick, and it'll probably be mentioned if they have a down year. At the beginning of the season, before the first few Pats games, there will be something like "can they overcome Spygate and the Super Bowl loss?" and then it will be relegated into the territory of debate. "2007 Pats - best team ever." "No, they cheated and lost the Super Bowl." That's how it should be. They lost the Super Bowl, poetic justice was served, we laughed at them, the Bears did it better, etc. Now let it die. Christ, I hate the god damn Pats, but you're more annoying than their fans ever were.

You're probably that fucking "told ya so" guy that everyone knows. The guy who tells a friend he makes a mistake, then the friend makes that mistake and learns from it. But that's not enough for you. You have to lord it over them until they day they die...until like 5 years later when everyone else would have forgotten about it entirely if douchebag over here didn't bring it up every time they hung out.

Christ, give it a rest. Its a fucking professional sport and one you have no stake in other than being a fan of it. This is definitely not one of the biggest stories in sports right now either. March Madness, the start of the baseball season and the winding down of the NBA Season are. The relevancy to it at this place

You're too old to be this emotionally invested in something as trivial as this and blubbering about it at a website that has no affiliation with the leagoe or the patriots. Grow up and go take this sort of drivel to the Patriots NFL.com message board if you really want to hammer it to their fans .

You need months and months of therapy, Ænima.

Okay, i would never compare 9/11 to this. This is the sports board, isnt it?

And if you honestly believe the rest of your post, then you're one dumb fuck.

Spygate is one of the biggest things to happen ever in the NFL. Im pretty sure it was the biggest fine ever given to a coach, the first time a team has actually been PROVEN of cheating, and i know it was the biggest fine ever given to a team, because 750k is the max the NFL can fine a team. You guys are just fucking bitter because i was right.



See above. Like i said, this shit is going down in history. It was in South Park. "who is bill bellichick" will be an answer on jeopardy in like 20 years, and i'll bet spygate will be in the question. And whats it matter if the board has any affiliation with the pats or the NFL? It has no affiliation with anyone or anything. I mean, *GASP* get that sports related talk out of the sports board!

And its fuckin hilarious you're telling me im too old to care about sports when you spend as much time as you do and have here.

Why the fuck is this unlocked again?

Just ignore it. The only one who still cares about the Pats losing is aenima. Haven't you seen that South Park episode?

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
