Patriots are my favorite team
Mine too. And it seems that every season at playoff time the usual suspects start all this BS again to try and derail or distract the team from their goal.
Usually they wait until the two weeks before the Superbowl but this season they're getting an early start. Probably because they see the Pats as being a lock for the AFC crown. I wish they'd just sit down and STFU.
When Brady took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe, in an instant, the Patriots became the winningest, best professional sports team on the planet. Over the next decade-and-a-half, Patriots played in six Super Bowls, are headed for their seventh in 16 years, and for those who are counting, that makes an average of a Super Bowl almost every other year for going-on two decades.
No team in professional sports has ever even approached such a record. Most teams and their athletes play their entire careers and never get near one Lombardy Trophy.
There is no equal to The Patriots in professional sports, and those who snivel about "cheating" just don't understand what it takes to win at this level. If some simple (or complex) subterfuge were able to reproduce Belicheck and Brady's results, trust me, every effing team in the NFL would be doing it.
The hard truth is that Brady and Belicheck combine to create a force previously unseen for it's consistent levels of professionalism and success, over a period spanning decades.
It is perhaps fitting that a team which started for decades as a doormat to the League, might end up its most amazing winning machine, and most fitting that they may be known as "Patriots."
Amen.
