I was thinking about the superbowl the other day and that the patriots went from an ok team to a superior team pretty much over night and I came to this conclusion.

"The suggestions that the Pats are "so superior" to the rest of the league warrants the cheating to be swept under the rug are forgetting the point. Superior? How does a team of nobodies get to be "superior"? By signing Moss and Welker? Thomas? Or...by using video, espionage, and wire-tapping in ways unheard of in the league? When the "spygatye" episode occurred, several columnists from around the country began describing a whole list of "naughty" things the Pats do on a regular basis. They finally had reason to discuss them. From bugging opposing locker rooms to intercepting the radio signals. Kinda funny that the NFL found it necessary to "monitor" the radio frequencies in the AFC Title game. Kinda funny that at the same time the "superior" Patriots struggled against a hobbled Chargers team. Coincidence?

Add to that the Harrison HGH bust (and how their grandpa LBs manage to play like 24-year-olds) and their "creative" salary cap circumvention...well , then, you have a team that simply doesn't play by the rules all the way around. But when faced with these issues Pats fans resort to: "Everyone does it."

NO...they don't. That's why more talented teams (like Indy) aren't going 18-0"
