Yeah I remember Steve Grogan. And Tony Eason, Jim Plunkett, Irving Fryar, Steve Nelson and all the past Pats teams that spent so many years at the bottom of the league. For so many people to hate the Patriots nowadays just speaks to their greatness. It also speaks to the shallowness of those who hate for the sake of hating
And for all those petty people, the report from the NFL came today that the balls were checked by a referee prior to the game and all the balls passed. The inspection simply gives the balls a pass or fail grade and they all passed.
Now I am sure the conspiracy theorists will continue to find a pathetic excuse on how they still cheated.... like that fan from baltimore who started an online petition to ban the Patriots and have the AFC game replayed with the colts and ravens.... what a complete fool.
I realize this will all come to an end. But I am enjoying it for the full ride. I have been through the years of us being the laughing stock of the league. We paid our dues. We now have great ownership, a coach who is 10 years ahead of his time and will go down as the greatest coach in history, and a quarterback who is hated because he is so squeaky clean and all-american that the haters try to make a big deal out of nothing. And Brady will go down as one of the top 3 QB's of all time and maybe #1 before he is all done.
So keep hating.... it's a great compliment
