Garb Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just because you read something on Patsfans.com, doesn't make it true. Estrella was caught when he tried to enter the lockerroom at halftime, not in the first seven minutes. I can find links, if you want. I don't think I read a single accusation from any team, that Mangini videotapes signals. Oh sure, the Pats leaked a story that they asked a Jets cameraman to leave their stadium last year, but nobody seemed to disagree that he was recording game film. But yes, one of the tapes Belicheat handed over showed a coach waving. It was Herm, . He even admitted to this. Look, I know that nearly everybody in the NFL, tries to steal signals, sifts through garbage cans, interviews cut players, send spies to practices, etc. to try and gain a competitive edge. But the videotaping, this was taking it to a whole other level, and it was of great concern to everybody. The competition committee, the owners, the commisioner, everybody agreed that the use of videotape was effecting the integrity of the game and had to stop. Everybody understood that, everybody, expect one freakin' arrogant ******* from New England. Belicheat thumbed his nose, and continued to do it anyway. Now I really hope that Matt Walsh is full of crap. I really hope so. Because if he really does have something, then the whole NFL gets a blackeye, and that effects everybody. There's one person to blame for this mess, and that's Belicheat. Sure, Goodell should take some blame for not handling this better in the first place, but Belicheat brought this whole thing on. There! Got that off my chest. Listen - bb got the word from the league like everyone lese did. It said "cut it out!" BB didn;t. He got busted and deservedly so...even though for the rest of my life I will think of Mangini as a rat. Sorry. Can't help it. Heard a report today that Walsh is full of doo-doo. This is what gets my goat (not Tom's -tee-hee-hee) - there was a rumor months ago that was proved to be unfounded - then Specter - a comcast sympathizer - gets in the frey - then a Boston Herald Reporter who is known to hate the Pats states that one source says there MAY be a tape of the walk-thru - espn runs with this OLD story and ruins my SB hype weekend. First of all - how do you run a story on a rumor that was unsubstatiated and then the larger media runs with a basically rehashed story? It really does speak to the integrity of the media, don't you think? I'm upset at the media more than the loss - they deserved to lose - they were not the better team. I can live with that - moreso than lasts years loss against Indy, truth be told. The media has the power to completely ruin a fans experience. It pisses me off. The departed Will McDonough was a master of this. That drunken insider from the Globe who became a master puppeteer and if you did not give him the inside stories - or if someone paid him to push an agenda - watch out! He hated Roger Clemens with a passion! Coined the term Texas Con-Man. Helped soften the blow when the Sox got rid of 'em, eh? This scribe who broke a cocaine story for the Pats first SB. Proved to be half true. He's also the one that broke the Parcells is leaving for NYJ story before the second SB - proved to be true. Both instances proved to ruin my SB experience. That why I knew in my heart of hearts the Pats would lose this past Sunday. The media was making it too hard. The pressure was 'gonna be too intense. These players are human afterall.

Mangini`s Jets Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I`ve noticed a lot of Sox and Briuns garb around here. Looks like the fans just can`t stomach the big loss so they had to dust off there other gear. A few fans are taking the loss stride,but thatsbecause there the bandwagoneers.

Lady Jet Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Listen - bb got the word from the league like everyone lese did. It said "cut it out!" BB didn;t. He got busted and deservedly so...even though for the rest of my life I will think of Mangini as a rat. Sorry. Can't help it. Call him a rat all you like, but it won't change the fact that Belicheat brought it on himself. The media can be awful (80 percent of the time they're not even close to accurate) and the timing of this is peculiar. (I am sorry that ruined your experience) Specter is claiming that he has tried to contact Goodell about this but was ignored. Who knows, it could be more about cable's fight with the NFL, but apparently they are going to talk to Matt Walsh, so we'll have to wait and see if anything comes out. I really do hope nothing does, for the interest of everyone. This would be bad for everyone. But I wouldn't be honest if I didn't admit that I think would be great if they threw out Belicheat to save the integrity of the league. I don't think it will happen, but I do wish that. Oh, and Tom was right to laugh, the Giants did not hold the Pats to only 17 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do my posts make me appear to be an illegal immigrant from Vietnam or Guatemala? By the way - Billerica may be the only town left (along with Wilmington and Charlestown) that has any Bruins fans.

johnny green balls Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The Pats had been going for it on 4th down all year so I wasn't surprised. going for it on 4th and 13 is crazy when you have a crack at a 48 yarder in a dome. knowing belly's penchant for playing coy with injuries, i wouldn't be surprised if gastowski was hurting. or it could be that belly took a calculated risk to break the spirits of the gmen's D early and keep them honest in coverage ("even when you think you stopped us, you didn't") and it backfired.

Kidhuman Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 They were on the 31 yard line! Punting was not an option. The punter stands 15 yards behind the LOS, that puts him at the 46, if he cant angle a punt to go out of bounds behind the 15, he doesnt belong in the pros.

Who would have thought that the Pats would only score 14 points? I had a feeling that both San Diego and NYG could cause you guys problems offensively. The best way too contain the Pats offence is being able to generate pressure without having to bring the house. I knew NYG and SD could do that. I couldn't see only 14 points though, that was pretty messed up. You guys only scored 13 offensive points vs us though in Foxboro, 6 if you take away the blocked punt.

It went with the thread title, no doubt, but I felt something that was strangely like sympathy. A little. Not really. No. Anyway... C'mon, wise guy, you deserved that - at least just a little.

bobbyjet69 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Whether the Giants win or lose the Super Bowl, they will be the more popular team in the Tri-State area. They have been around for many more years than the Jets and have a tremendous amount more of success. Its something that you have to get used to. I for one was planning to root for New England, but when it all came down on Saturday night and into Super Bowl Sunday, I decided the best thing to do was to root against your biggest rival. Its not the Giants organization we hate, its the d'bag fans of the Giants a lot of us hate and trust me, I still do hate them with an undying passion. BUT, to see the CHEATERS CHOKE on the biggest stage of them all, I'll take all the Giants praising talk for the next month before its all Mets and Yankees, and even already the talk on the radio is more Johan Santana than anything else. But hey, at least its not like Boston where the Patriots are just Red Sox fans with nothing to do in the winter. Now THAT's what I've been talking about 124!! Great post!!!
