First off: Yes. Of course.
That out of the way…
There are two extremes on this issue…like the far left and the far right.
The far left wants anarchy, the far right wants Nazi Germany.
Both = insane.
Now, as with most things the real truth/reason is somewhere in between.
Applied to the NFL:
There are two types of insane idiots on the Patriots/them being punished:
1) The complete in-denial apologist fans who refuse to believe ANY accusation against the Patriots can be ANYTHING except the act of an envious hater. This…is insane and idiotic.
2) The complete in-denial hatred-spewing fans who believe, wholeheartedly, that the Patriots are the root of all NFL evil. They, and they alone, are the corrupting force amongst a sea of pure, naive innocence. Noone else cheats…just the Patriots. This…is insane and idiotic.
Vis for both groups:
Me, I’m somewhere in the middle. All teams cheat (including the Patriots) just like all politicians lie. Come on…it’s just common FRICKIN sense. If you get caught, you get punished. Period.
To try to educate those who are probably too idiotic and ignorant TO BE educated (cuz hey…you gotta try), read the following and ATTEMPT to make a connection. HINT: Robert Duvall’s character is “every other NFL team besides the Patriots when the Patriots get caught and they don’t”.
*Duvall* I’ve never done this. In 45 years of practicing, I’ve never waited in a corridor for a jury.
*Travolta* I always do.
*Duvall* I can tell. You’re good at it. You seem so at peace doing it. What do you think? Is it good they’re out this long?
*Travolta* For who?
*Duvall* For me, of course. You can never tell. It could mean anything. It could mean jury duty’s more fun than working at the post office…
*Travolta* It’s bad for both of you.
*Duvall* You think? Well, here’s my take…
*points at other man* Guilty.
*points back at himself* Not guilty.
That’s what they’re going to say.
…
It’s going to come down to people, like always.
You FOUND someone who saw him dumping stuff.
You didn’t find ANYONE…who saw me. *gentle headshake and smile*
