Hmmm...let's ask a Rams fan or a Jets fan if the Patriots cheat. I suppose you also think Hernandez was framed.
It's funny, to me, how every drooling pats hater is completely uninformed about what rules they've actually been punished for breaking.
For your enlightenment, the patriots were punished for taping defensive signals during games (In front of an entire stadium full of people) (From the wrong spot), not practices.

Tennesee Titans fan Rosemary Plorin of Nashville attended Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers with her fourth-grade daughter. On Monday, she sent us this note she wrote to Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton:
Dear Mr. Newton,
Congratulations on your win in Nashville today. Our team played well, but yours played better. Kudos to the Panthers organization.
That game happened to be my nine year old daughter’s first live NFL experience. She was surprised to see so many Panthers’ fans sitting in our section of the stadium; that doesn’t happen much at fourth grade football games. And she was excited we were near the end zone, so we would be close to the “action,” particularly in the second half.
Because of where we sat, we had a close up view of your conduct in the fourth quarter. The chest puffs. The pelvic thrusts. The arrogant struts and the ‘in your face’ taunting of both the Titans’ players and fans. We saw it all.
I refuse to believe you don’t realize you are a role model. You are paid millions of dollars every week to play hard and be a leader. In the off season you’re expected to make appearances, support charities, and inspire young kids to pursue your sport and all sports. With everything the NFL has gone through in recent years, I’m confident they have advised that you are, by virtue of your position and career choice, a role model.
And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in the stands. Some of the Panthers fans in our section began taunting the hometown fans. Many Titans fans booed you, a few offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.
My daughter sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?
I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
I could tell she was still thinking about it as we boarded a shuttle back to our car. “I guess he doesn’t have kids or a Mom at home watching the game,” she added.
I don’t know about your family life Mr. Newton, but I think I’m safe in saying thousands of kids watch you every week. You have amazing talent and an incredible platform to be a role model for them. Unfortunately, what you modeled for them today was egotism, arrogance and poor sportsmanship.
Is that what your coaches and mentors modeled for you, Mr. Newton?

Every August I create a very Homer W/L prediction for the cats. It has frankly proven fatal each year I have done it, as some years when I predicted the worst I was met by my expectations. This years W/L schedule was admittedly more optimistic because Benji had not fallen yet, but never in a million years would I have assumed the season would have been this exciting. I'm tempted to appease the legions of fans so exhausted by their own teams demise that trolling the 3 of us that root for the panthers is their only respite, by adding a single L to the end of this schedule if we win out. 19-1, I'd take that.
edit: Tried to add picture of the schedule but it won't upload, predicted 13-3 season with losses to the colts and the pack and a split divisional set with the dirty birds.

I feel bad for this kid. Clearly not because Cam's dance moves blew her little mind, but because her mom has already laid the groundwork for her to be a similarly miserable human being.

My response to that is similar to Louis C.K.'s response in the attached image: Quit making excuses for your inability to raise your own kids! Let it be a learning experience. You expect all NFL fans to be courteous and family-friendly? Have you never watched an NFL game on television to see how players act? You are the child's parent, not the sports star.
Atlanta is 6-2 behind a first year coach coming off back-to-back losing seasons.
Not sure you can ask much more out of them. They are a good team. Elite? No.
You sure about that?
Yeah. I am.
Not sure how anything I stated is wrong even after that embarrassing loss and dropping 4 of the last 5. The NFC is weak this year so still in good position in the Wild Card race. Next 3 games will be huge: Vikings at home and on the road against Bucs and Carolina.
Keep up your insightful posts, though. Love reading your in-depth analysis.
Pretty fun year in the NFL looking past how painful it's been as a Falcons fans the past few weeks. AFC and NFC wildcards both wide open. Carolina really the only team who hasn't looked vulnerable all year and who would have guessed that?

If you just look at their record, sure, they're in the race, but the only game they won recently was against a Mettenberger-led Titans team and even that was just barely a victory. Then a loss to a Blaine Gabbert led 9ers team, then a loss to a Hasselbeck-led Colts team. And the saints aren't exactly great either.
I'd say the Seahawks, Packers/Vikings (whoever doesn't win the north), and whoever is second in the East all have better chances than the Falcons. Hell, the Bucs might even pull it out.
Hey thepeppers , what fucking second half. Hope that game ends up being the Super Bowl.
It won't be. Nobody in the AFC is winning in New England.
I'm not sure what was going on with our defense last night. In the first half, our D-line was dominating the line of scrimmage. Second half comes, Arizona O-line was eating us for lunch. Every time we lose in primetime the public is quick to point to Dalton and his record in night games and what not....as you know, last night he played fairly well (except for the one turnover). Terrible play call on that last 3rd down the Bengals had when they were about 25 yards from the end-zone. For one, we only needed three yards...no reason to go to the end-zone. Second, if you run on that play, Arizona doesn't have much of chance to score before regulation (they would have had the ball with 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds).
Palmer looked pretty rough in the 1st quarter, but he took it to us every other quarter. The guy can still air out as one of the best in the league....you can also see the chemistry he has built in Arizona. I hope the NFC championship is Arizona vs Carolina.

The O-line was better in the second half because Arizona had Iupati back. Dalton did well, but that turnover wasn't really his fault. He would've done a lot better, but Peterson did a fantastic job on Green.
New England is beatable especially now that they don't have Lewis or Edleman. Cinci would be the only team that could take them down really, but it's really about who has the least injuries by that point in the year.
New England isn't beatable, at all. They're going to go undefeated, win the Super Bowl, and as a grimacing Roger Goodell is forced to hand the Lombardi trophy over to Tom Brady, a large crack will appear across the 50 yard line. Lo, a large, gnarled and horned claw will appear out of the depths, as the monstrous body of Beelzebub awakens. And thus begins a neverending age of darkness.
