Be confused all you want, when I hear others who I've not spoken to on the topic have the exact same conversation about things that bother me about how last and this season have played out, it lends more credence to what I feel about it. Am I *entirely* sold on this idea? no, definitely not, but the more they make this predictable and start the exact story lines for the end of the season 5 months before the Super Bowl, the more I lean towards it. This is one of the reasons why the NFL is losing actual non-casual fans. But, of course, when the team you root for is the one at the epicenter of all of it, I guess you'd be prone to arguing against it. |

There is no logic to it, Brady doesn't win Super Bowls or loses them--the team/organization does--and should a team be faulted for making the Super Bowl over not making it there...this whole idea is built on faulty/absence of logic.

Cheating, the refs, it's all rigged. It has to be all three of those. It simply cannot be that the organization is just good.

The quarterback is a huge part of winning super bowls though, especially when we're talking about 5. It's not by accident. A great QB makes his team better cause they believe. There's nothing more disheartening for a defense than trying to ball out and put your body on the line for a quarterback that you don't believe in.

Oh, I'm not discrediting the Patriots specifically, basically discrediting the NFL in general. The Patriots are just who is en vogue right now, so once Brady retires, the Patriots will fade when the league finds their new face of the NFL that will overshadow Brady. And, is it really cheating if the NFL gives you everything you need to win it all year after year? Heck, if the Packers were in the middle of this like the Patriots have been, with all of the drama, I would be calling out the Packers just as much, so don't take it personally.

Brady is by far the best QB in the league, therefore his team will be in the playoff hunt every year.

Meh, I'll be moving on once I get bored with going back and forth, so the Brady worship can continue without interruption. Just a bit bored today and feel like giving crap to the guys who are buying what the NFL is selling right now. Funny, that's the exact same thing I was saying right before the Super Bowl last year! Amazing that it's become so predictable, no?

Salty? No, salty is when you care about the outcome, at this point it's rather obvious what it will be, why care? Contrarian? Sure, I would admit that I like riling people up going against the grain of Patriots love. Pathetic? You might think so, but I'm not in the business of caring what you think of me specifically since all you know about me is that I don't completely buy the NFL's story line right now. But, with such a friendly and matter of fact demeanor you have, you can be sure I'm not quite that bored yet. To be honest, I'm surprised guys like BostonNut even reply to me anymore, I thought there was an ignore button i was missing in the forum that they had used on my posts because I hadn't gotten a response from them on this stuff in a long time.

I just enjoy reading your crackpot stories and enjoy watching you dance around every question that is asked regarding said crackpot stories.

Meh, whatever. I'm not saying that I don't think the moon landing happened, or that I think the Earth is flat. Those you can actually debunk with any real amount of critical thinking. But, if you think that a bunch of billionaires wouldn't be above scripting out the drama of a league to maximize profits, well I've got some ocean front property in Indiana you might be interested in.

Why wouldn't the NHL do it? They need a jumpstart for sure! I guess it is happening in the NBA...I mean...one guy has gotten to the Finals a whole bunch of times in a row. RIGGED!

And, you really think that one of the most influential owners in the NFL (and friends with the commish to boot) would have folded so easily to the punishment if he didn't get something in return? He literally accepted the punishment like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
