I am glad that the New England Patriots did not win Super Bowl XLII!!!!! I have a number of reasons for taking this stance. The Patriots are considered to be a dynasty. The Patriots are considered to be the model franchise in the NFL, but that is not the case at all. They are no better than any of the other 31 organizations in the NFL.

Bill Belichick, there is no argument that can be made against him being a football savant. However he appears to be void of conscience or sportsmanship. Belichick is a cheater! He has been warned by the league about video taping opponents prior to Spygate. Once the accusations by Jets had been confirmed, he appeared totally unapologetic. He claimed that he was within the constraints of rule based on his interpretation. He did not acknowledge that he got caught cheating. Now there are allegations that he video taped the pre-game walk through of the rams before they met in the Super Bowl. To go along with that Commissioner Goodell has a sworn affidavit from Belichick that he turned over all possible video evidence of misconduct to the league. It seems clear to me that he is of questionable principles, and that this new allegation is not a far stretch, and quite possibly true. With the Spygate chip on his shoulder he proceeded to destroy competition, which in itself is not a bad thing (I wish the Eagles could put up points like that). The issue is within running up the score. It's fourth down, you are in field goal range, up by an insurmountable lead, and you leave your offense on the field to go for it. Then you justify this action by saying that you'd rather go for it, and make them stop you, then kick the field goal. At this time I would like to point out that this man is calculating. This man ingeniously took a safety to get better field position to win a game. In the third quarter of the Patriots week nine game against the Colts he sent out Stephan Gostkowski to kick a 34 yard field goal. Why didn't he go for it then? Then you have him leaving the field before the Super Bowl was officially over. Of course you were disappointed. Who wouldn't be after going undefeated all season, and then losing the game that matters the most. You ran out shook hands, but failed to notice that your team, and the coaching staff weren't behind you. As a head coach you are supposed to set the example for your team. That is not the example that should be set by a team that is considered to be the model that every other franchise should strive to achieve!

Don't forget about the players. New England is hailed for their personnel. Rodney Harrison tested positive for a band substance. He is a defensive captain. Aren't captains supposed to be leaders in what they say, and what they do? Moving along there is Vincent Wilfork (Dirty Player). He has received a number of fines from the league for unnecessary conduct. The most recent events involved him grabbing Michael Turner by the face mask, and poking Brandon Jacobs in the eye. The eye gouge could not even be construed as accidental. Jacobs, and Wilfork were jawing with one another after a play, when he just shoved his fingers into Jacob's face mask. Richard Seymour was shown bumping into Philip Rivers after the play was dead during the AFC championship game. Perhaps River's exaggerated the bump by falling down, but there is no justifiable reason for contact after the play. Then just like every other team in the league they have the off the field player problems. Defensive Back Willie Andrews was arrested for Possession with the intent to distribute.

How does this behavior not reflect directly upon a team that is heralded for what they represent? For one reason or another people dismiss these issues, and still hold the team above all others.

A few side notes:
Kudos to Randy Moss for making me a believer. You aren't a waste of athletic talent!
Wes Welker you can come and play for the Eagles any day.
Tom Brady I am sure you will get your 4th ring, but to comfort you until then, Your girlfriend is hot!
Sen. Arlen Specter, and the rest of his cronies. Stay the F*@%! out of sports. Let them handle there own dirty laundry.
