I prefer athletic endeavors that involve beating people with sports equipment.

Do the Sox cheat too?

I was pulling for the Rockies. It's too bad they didn't do anything in the series. They couldn't hit for shit.

As for the Pats, I'm not a fan, but they are dominant right now. No one is even close. The game next week - Pats vs Colts - should be really good.

Did you see the Pats tonight?  Damn.

And the Sox of course.  I did want to see them win it here in Boston, though.  Rape and pillage!

I would expect as much when a team cheats as much as they do.  Yeah, the filming was the big news, but did you hear what all the players and coaches were saying when that was going on?  The NFL didn't look into any of it and nothing was proven, but where there is smoke, there's fire.  Filming defensive signals isn't the only thing they do.

People say they would be good anyway.  Is that true?  Probably.  But then why cheat in the first place?  I honestly think you have to put an asterisk by any Bill Belichick Super Bowl win.

In what other ways do they cheat?

I think that the filming of defensive signals was significant, but they certainly aren't doing it now and they are more dominant than ever.

Also, fuck the Pats.

Various head coaches have said their headset link to the coaches' booth goes out on critical third downs in Foxboro.  That was the only thing specific that I remember.  There was something else I'd heard but I forget what it is.

I found it to be more than coincidental that the Skins lost radio contact for the entire first half of the game. What I don't get is how the the game officials allowed the pats to continue to use theirs. Not to mention that they did everything in their power to run up the score board, unsportsmanlike assholes! Not only do I hope that Brady breaks him arm, but Belichick needs to get hit by a bus.
