Don Shula senile??
 

Shula seems to be off his rocker a little bit in his old age. It was the Dolphins who got busted for cheating in 1970 for..........tada......hiring Shula as head coach under the table. I don't see their perfect season 2 years later with an * beside it. The NFL gave them the same punishment as the Patriots will probably see, loss of a first round pick.

Regardless, he still has a valid point and a large majority of the NFL fan-base agrees with him. The Patriots are a bunch of cheaters and whether or not they finish the season undefeated with an astericks, their accomplishments will forever be tarnished by a dumbass coach who should have been banned from the league.

What team hasn't cheated Twi?? The Patriots got busted for it by the videographer being a fool and arguing with stadium security. Do you not realize how easy it is to put a fan in the stands and do the same thing??

That's true, Mr Ford.

Also, anyone can video tape Sports Center, and use that for game plans. :P

About Shula, talking trash. I dont know what to think. I guess, he is afraid that his perfect '72 record is gonna be broken. :P I think, the NFL should have forfeited the rest of New England's games.

I agree with him so I must be senile too. IF the Pats win the SB there should be a asterisk.

If you have factual evidence, post it. I don't say that to be flippant, only to prove the point. You can accuse teams of cheating all the time. Hell, teams are accused of paying off referees to throw games (Patriots/Raiders "tuck" rule in the playoffs a few years back as the most glaring example of that) and while a bunch of those insinuations probably have some weight to it (especially that one), you're not going to prove it.

Problem with the Patriots is that they did something, got caught red-handed, and then got nasty about it as in "how can anyone question such a team?!?" FARK the Patriots! They're the biggest black eye to the NFL that the NFL has ever had and Goodell dropped the ball with them. $750,000 is like a dime to you and I and losing a first round pick is nothing, either, since they already have another one. So they got absolutely nothing in the way of punishment and are whining about it.

I've hated the Patriots ever since the Raiders game (and I hate the Raiders, too, so it's not due to favorites), have thought them to be cheaters ever since that game. This year, it was proven. However, had they come back and said "yeah, we're sorry, we were way out of line, what can we do?", I probably would have shrugged my shoulders and been indifferent about it or perhaps even felt a little better about them. But no, we get to listen to Belichek whine about it, claim he didn't know the rules, then act like a spoiled brat that's coaching an inner-city high school team.

Bottom line, the Patriots have a lot of talent...they have ZERO class. And that permanently colors people's view of them and their "alleged" accomplishments. What goes around, comes around and Bill Cowher nailed it when he said someone would be taking a cheap shot at Brady. I was surprised that the Skins didn't take him out, but I can't see him lasting the year. And when that happens, you'll hear half the nation saying "TOLD YOU SO!"

It should be. Have Jets game listed beside it.

Now the Patriots are accusing the Colts of cheating by pipeing in noise to the stadium. Not the first time the Colts have been accused of that one. If I find the article again, I post it.

I heard that, too, Double R.

How dumb is that. :lol:

And yes it is dumb of them. That's like the "Pot calling the Kettle black" but the Steelers accused them(Colts) of the samething two seasons ago.
