Colts - Patriots

Wow. Just...wow.

And one more thing - the Patriots are dirty cheaters. I defended them during Tapegate, and I've even tried to show them respect, especially during the 16-0 campaign; but after at least two fake "injuries" and something like a million interference penalties tonight, I just can't make excuses for them anymore. I'm not one for bad-mouthing a rival team just because they're a rival team, and I don't like fans who do that kind of thing - regardless of which team they root for. But it's just ridiculous. This is a talented New England team, and they have no need to cheat.

But they do. They cheat, and they play dirty. That last touchdown for the Colts - the one that won them the game? Yeah, Reggie Wayne was held on that play, and it would have been yet another interference call if he hadn't managed to hold onto the ball for the score. New England fans shouldn't stop liking their team just because some of the players are dirty and the coach is an asshole; but you can't really argue that they don't play dirty.

Couldn't agree more. I was at the game, and there were several missed calls regarding holding, but if Tommy wants a flag thrown, he just sort of looks at the ref, winks at him, and just like the dresses of the models he's banged, flags go a flyin'.
