There are a bunch of threads on the Pats cheating scandal. Justa even saw fit to call me out in one of the threads. I posted my comments, but they are scattered about and I want everyone to know:
- I'm not defending them, they got caught cheating. It is what it is.
- I recognize this calls into question all their accomplishments this decade. It is a big embarrassment and will stain the franchise for some time
- This ultimately could be the end of the era, and the Pats might fade back to mediocrity. They are still talented, but it is hard to judge how severe the fallout from this will be. They probably will still be a very good team in the short-term, but this might have farther reaching ramifications. Maybe even BB gets fired, who knows.
- No matter what, the games will go on for me. I love watching football and I grew up watching the team. I lived through bad things happening to the team before (Zeke Mowatt/Lisa Olsen comes to mind), so it isn't like things like this have a lot of effect on regular life
I realize that a lot of people don't like Belichick or the Patriots. I recognize they are hated even. I understand I'm on a Bills board and people are going to say nasty things about them.
However, do me a favor and leave me out of it. I'm not goint to post in those threads because I have nothing to add to it, so please don't be calling me out. I'm nothing more than a fan, and I don't feel like getting into stupid name-calling arguments about this type of crap. I just want ot watch football.
I've posted for years here and have been civil for the most part. So while I recognize you guys are going to go to town about this, recognize I don't really feel like commenting on it. That doesn't mean I'm dodging anything, it just means I have nothing to say.

We're going to milk this cow dry, I assure you of that.
