Results tagged “spygate” from Robert Littal Presents The Infamous BlackSportsOnline

The NFL is the most successful professional sports league in the US. Even so, there seems to be an air of secrecy around it. The drugs aren't as outlined as they are in the MLB. NFL Refs never seem to be dirty like the NBA's, and there aren't money problems such as the NHL's.

However, it would seem lately that the seedy underbelly of the once impenetrable league is showing. With Spygate getting press and Roger Goodell getting rid of/ hiding/ sweeping evidence under the rug, this has to make anyone question just how this league operates, especially when it would seem that, when not dealing with America's Team,* Goodell has been known to slam the gauntlet hard.

* Sorry Dallas...it's the Patriots these days.

Brady was asked about some of ESPN's ex-NFL players who have criticized the Patriots. "It's just kind of the environment right now, though," he said on WEEI. "I think that's the way that guys make it. They just say the craziest things. That's what ESPN has become. ESPN, to me, is like MTV without the videos, ESPN is without the highlights."

In the immortal words of Tupac:

"This is the realist sh*t I ever wrote"

Most athletes are afraid to take on ESPN for the simple fact that "The World Wide Leader" has the ability to turn an entire nation of "follower" fans against them (see: Chad Johnson, T.O. and Barry Bonds). However, Brad,y obviously understanding that he is bigger than ESPN, doesn't care and for that I applaud him. Even though his team are cheaters, it was not as bad as some media outlets made it out to be seeing that everyone cheats. I am glad he stood up and told the truth about what everyone else is thinking.

Maybe now we can all stop talking about spygate. Matt Walsh turned over tapes to the NFL which, in essence, confirmed, what we already knew, that the Patriots are cheaters. That was established a long time ago. So this isn't news.

He didn't have the tape of the infamous Super Bowl walk through that the Boston Herald claims to exist. So in reality, this is much to do about nothing. The football gods have already punished the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick more than Roger Goddell ever could. How else could you explain an 18-0 team getting beat in the Super Bowl? If you don't believe in fate and karma you should now. So please no more spygate talk. It is a dead issue.
