Flanz is right that the Patriots probably gained an advantage from cheating. But the Patriots are still an impressive franchise/dynasty that quite literally competes for the Super Bowl every single year. So let's take it easy here, Flanz. The Pats made it to the AFC championship game and lost - and it was "underachieving.' If the Jets made it to the AFC championship game and lost...well, you probably wouldn't shut up about how good they are.
Maybe the Pats' lack of Super Bowl victories recently has something to do with not cheating anymore, but its probably more related to their lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball in recent years. Let's be real.
Also, Brady isn't nearly as good at throwing the deep ball as he used to be. The man is getting older, and will have to make similar adjustments that Peyton had to make this year if he wants to remain ELIte.
This has to be the most intelligent post I've read regarding the Patriots all day.

I was nodding approvingly reading this post until I saw the word "ELIte."
Gonna make a props bet sheet for the Super Bowl, anybody want to play along?
Prop bets are the dumb, meaningless, silly bets Vegas has for the Super Bowl. For example: How many times will the announcers say the name "Harbaugh" during the game? -or- Who will win the coin toss?
It takes no skill or football knowledge to participate, but it makes the game that much more interesting. This can be for fun or something else if wanted.
Super Bowl prop bets are sooo stupid. By that I don't mean "Ray Rice will get more than 95 rushing & receiving yards," because that stuff is fairly predictable.
I'm talking about people betting on the coin toss, that is -115 odds for either bet, which is literally a tax on the stupid. No matter who wins, the betting will be relatively split down the middle and the house rakes in cash.
If you make a couple $5 bets, no big deal, but I have friends who legitimately throw $50 down on bets like this and it's just hilarious watching them freak out and curse at the TV because some guy didn't call "tails."
Kinda looking forward to not having the Giants as a participant in the Super Bowl this weekend. This way I can actually interact with people at the BBQ instead of being that freakshow who's sitting like 5 feet from the television in a folding chair, occasionally yelling about blown calls or what have you and startling the other guests.

Hey, Jimmy. Shut up.
Easy, tiger. Just because his team had a reasonable shot at a playoff run doesn't mean you need to get all crabby. ;D

Well, they don't this year.
But any time someone goes "oh, I'm just happy my team isn't even in it this year! It's such a hassle rooting for my team in championship games!" in the presence of long-suffering fans, they get told to shut up.
In the scheme of things I could have said, that was as tame as it gets.

Oh, I understand the plight of long-suffering fans. You seem to forget my two main football teams are

Correct, props bets are a waste of your money. Step of to the wheel and pick "red" or "black", but this is different. I make a list of about 30-40 prop bets, there are 2 -3 choices for each bet. Most are over/under bets (well, more like questions) and each answer is worth points. Player with most points at the end wins. Last year we did this and the prize was a Roo GA ticket. It is a way for people, who do not care which team loses, a way to enjoy not watching the Dolphins in the Super Bowl, again.

I mean, small-scale stuff with friends is fun just to have something to root for if your team isn't in it, I'm talking about people who lay down a couple hundred bucks on this stuff.
I have figured out why Flanzie Bear is so happy. Jamarcus Russell talk has begun.
Ugh, I hate PFT. Biggest hack-job football website on the web.
What's funny is about 12-15 teams have had "preliminary talks" about Russel (which is all he made it to with the Jets), but it's only a story for the Jets. The media is trying so hard to keep this "LOL Jets Cirkus!!" thing going, it's getting pretty embarrassing for them.
Everything Jet-related isn't a controversy or an embarrassing story. The Jets discussing a former top overall QB with a cannon for an arm and a peanut for a brain isn't news. It'll be news if they bring him in and have a dumb-off with Sanchez and Jamarcus, the loser gets 1st place in my own personal nightmare in the Meadowlands.

oh, I know. If they do not have the money, then they should not be willing to lose it.
I'll make the list and see if anybody wants to play, but give me a day. I work tonight.

Let's not let Bleacher Report off the hook that easy. Just because they are on CNN now doesn't mean they don't still suck.
Bleacher Report has actually attempted to get credibility, though. They now at least tell the reader if this is a columnist they pay, or some random buffoon with a keyboard sounding off about his emotional grievances.
I don't really count BR as the same thing as PFT, anyway, since PFT is a "news" outlet and backed by NBC, I would assume they'd try to have even a shred of self-respect.

Mike Florio is top-3 d-bags that cover the NFL.
Fair point. I honestly haven't been to Bleacher Report, for an extend amount of time, in a while. If I saw one more slide show about the "Greatest Alternate Road Uniforms of All Time" or something like that, I was going to gouge my own eyes out.
And, yes, we can all agree that Florio is a big, steaming pile of summers breeze.
I think it'd be hilarious if they signed him to a 1-day contract just to walk around Metlife Stadium in that jacket one Sunday next season.
He's "down to" 308 pounds. That just keeps jumping out at me. A former #1 overall draft pick QB who signed a deal worth more than $50 million overall is staging a comeback where the most positive news is he's "down to" 308 pounds.
