I predict people from out of town will be complaining about how "cold" it is in Minneapolis this weekend. If you are coming, bring warm clothes.
New England fans shouldn't be complaining.

Some people believe in aliens.Now this is getting ridiculous & reeking of jealousy. You do know there is thing called game film. Every team studies it. Sorry NE just does it better.

You should never talk about someone kids. I don’t know what Alex has against tom but don’t get the kids involved.
That was my point, yes.Do you believe Spygate taints the Patriots first 3 Super Bowl championships?
Good Lord!! It was 11 years ago, and most teams were doing the same thing. They got caught because the person who ratted to the NFL, Eric Mangini was the one who used to do it for the Pats. And where is he now, no team will touch him. Why - can you guess?
That was my point, yes.
Although McNabb's three interceptions didn't help.
So wait, you're going to complain about something that happened 11 years ago? Oh please...how many people still bring up the "throwing snowballs at Santa" thing when it comes to Philadelphia? That was 1968...literally 50 years ago.
And yes, the Patriots cheated, and yes, it helped them...how could it not. But then again, I fully believe they weren't the only ones doing it, just the only ones that got caught.
The memo sent by NFL VP of Football Operations Ray Anderson in 2006 was a reminder that this wasn't allowed according to the Game Operations Manual. It wasn't new.Just what I thought. You're just another person who believes in fairy tales. So let me educate you. Spygate happened in 2007 which was that a team couldn't film the oppositions sidelines from the field. They could only film it from the stands or from one of the boxes. The rule was put in by the NFL in 2006. So please explain to me how the Pats Super Bowl wins in 2001, 2003 & 2004 are tainted? This is just one of the fairy tales that have grown over the years by jealous fans of other teams and now have a life of their own.
Thanks for playing.
A former member of the NFL competition committee says the committee spent much of 2001-06 "discussing ways in which the Patriots cheated," even if nothing could be proved.
Oh btw I heard the Foles wears women's underwear - it's rumor and I believe it.
I predict that I will watch the Purina Puppy Bowl instead of the Super Bowl.
The memo sent by NFL VP of Football Operations Ray Anderson in 2006 was a reminder that this wasn't allowed according to the Game Operations Manual. It wasn't new.
And while trying to figure out signals wasn't new, or even not allowed, it wasn't allowed from the sidelines.
How about stealing playsheets during warmups? While the Patriots were never accused for that, sources say it happened.
Or, is the Outside the Lines story a total lie? I mean, that's possible. Wanting ratings. A hit piece by a Patriots hater. Talking to people who hated the Patriots or wanted to be paid for their information.

According to the article, it was common knowledge that the Patriots cheated:
Here's the thing. If it was a one time occurrence, that's one thing. Some guy was on the sideline recording the Jets during the game. But it wasn't one time. It was systemic. The Packers found Matt Estrella doing it in November 2006. The Colts were suspicious it was happening. That's why another memo was sent in 2007.
And then, 7 years later, deflagegate is a thing.
So, there are a few responses:
1. Both incidents were a misunderstanding.
2. The balls were inflated correctly, deflategate wasn't a thing. Exponent's science was faulty.
3. "They hate us cuz they ain't us".
4. Bill Belicheck's administration are repeated, documented cheaters.
I believe #4. And again, like I said, some people believe in the grassy knoll. I know it's nutty. I know it's not provable. I know I could be wrong. But I believe it anyway.
On the radio just today it was said that filming from the sidelines was ALLOWED in '01, '03 & '04, so once again I ask you, why are those 3 Patriots championships tainted?
There was also a story written by a Boston reporter that stated the Patriots taped the Rams walk through, before the '01 Super Bowl. Like the rest of the fairy tales about the Pats, it was proven to be a lie and ESPN put up an apology, at midnight, saying the story was not true and they shouldn't have ran with it.
On Deflategate, you do know that the Patriots weren't found guilty of deflating footballs. What the league penalized Brady for was not handing over his personal phone. And I know that you must know that the AFC championship game where the Pats had some balls under the legal limit, the Colts had 4 balls under the limit also. Why hasn't that been investigated? Or could it just be that the wet cold weather that night made balls from both teams naturally lose some psi's?
Also the season after Deflategate the NFL randomly went around and checked the psi of footballs from games all that season. Interestingly they never announced what their findings were? I wonder why?
I could go on and on, but I won't. Like a national announcer said last week, the country is just tired of the Patriots success so they claim they must cheat, when it really is nothing but jealousy driven.
Head meet cement wall - I am just so done. Be jealous, believe every rumor - you're gonna do that anyway.
Oh btw I heard the Foles wears women's underwear - it's rumor and I believe it.
Marchand, you have to embrace the hate like I have. I could have gone on and on with examples with FlightlessDuck, but what's the point? The haters are going to always believe in fairy tales so let them. That's society today. Make excuses for your failures. That's how the world rolls.
