Wow, it's a football game. Granted there are large sums of money involved and when money is involved there is never any chance of things not being quite what they seem. The NFL is like NASCAR, if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying.
Wasn't it the owner of the Falcons that was reported as saying: I sure hope they let us win one while I'm still alive?
I accept the fact that Kraft is cozy with the NFL, that money corrupts everything and Tommy Boy being handed the Lombardy Trophy from the hated commish will generate a lot of stories. It sure does distract us from looking more closely at the questionable character of a lot of players.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! I am the great and powerful Oz.
Who the F really cares? Maybe the reason the Patriots are so successful is that they have a coach/quarterback combination that dominates their division, doesn't make foolish mistakes on draft picks, gets the most out of the players they have and keeps getting home field advantage.
