The Patriots and the Inevitable Asterisk Debate

The Eagles Want Their Ring

This is unprecedented:

Eagles try and recall anything fishy about Super Bowl loss to Patriots

To this I say, let it go. How about the Rams and the Panthers? Do they want their rings, too? This is getting worse by the hour...

Yeah, that's kinda pushing it. If I recall, Donovan McNabb was sick during the attempted rally at the end of the game, which would have happened anyway.

Even if not for that...what's done is done and you can't undo it. If Barry Bonds can keep his stolen record, then the Pats are going to keep their rings, no matter what this all turns out to be.

But weren't the Pats caught taping during the actual game?

In the Patriots occurrence, that is what happened. I was giving another example of how signal stealing could occurr.

But its really rediculous to think that all aspects of this can be controlled, anyway. When coach Jon Gruden left the Raiders for Tampa Bay, he didn't have to swipe a copy of the Raider play book to take with him, he had the Raider playbook in his head....he helped write it.

This issue has been blown way out of proportion. The Pats have won, and continue to win, because they are a great team. Period, end of story.

Your completely correct. the Pats are definately the best team in the NFL. even without cheating! the question now is, who will they be playing in the superbowl.
