This Deserves a Post

I was about to leave this as a comment, but this is a blog after all!

So how am I wrong about the Patriots being convicted, proven cheaters? And did Bob Harlan throw them out of Lambeau because he moonlighted as their cameraboy after letting Ron Wolf leave the Packers?

These Patriots are being "hated on" because they are hypocrites, quite the opposite of the Raiders. Al Davis is an outlaw, and people love him or hate him. Bob Kraft is the ultimate NFL insider who has positioned his team as the NFL's model franchise. One could argue Tags rewarded him through Walt Coleman in the 2002 version of Good vs. Evil. So now the Pats are busted for cheating in blatant fashion, Kraft calls it "unacceptable" within the context of his model franchise...and nothing changes. For every article calling the Patriots evil there have been 10 written since 2002 extolling their many virtues. But public perception turns quickly when people realize you are a fraud. I've actually been surprised at how quickly this whole scandal has blown over for the Patsies. The "running up the score" issue is the only thing bringing it back to the conversation.
