My wife talked to a Pats fan at her work; she actually broke the news to him. His response was the EXACT same script we got from the visitors before XLIX:RedAlice":wbipwjwf said:RolandDeschain":wbipwjwf said:Every single Pats fan on that forum is ignoring the fact that proof is not needed for the NFL to punish someone. If you are even in the same room as something happening that tarnishes the shield, they can penalize you.
Pathetic, the responses I'm getting on that forum.
Welcome to Pats fans. They are the scum of the NFL.
1. The "if the glove don't fit" defense. They have no proof, therefore Tom didn't do anything.
Then after presenting some facts...
2. The "this whole place is out of order" defense. Hey, everybody does something to get an advantage. (He went so far as to say, "You're quarterback does it (deflates footballs) too.")
When confronted with "now you're just making things up"...
3. Finally, the "you're GD right I ordered the Code Red and I'd do it again" defense. Even if he did it, so what? Pats woulda won anyway. Nothing's gonna happen. You WANT Tom on that field. You NEED Tom on that field.
Sprinkled throughout are the paranoid "everyone's out to get the Pats for no reason" comments. And like all interactions with these types you can only shake your head and walk away.
As far as the casual fan and general public, it's true that America loves its rich white guys. Especially handsome ones. But America also loves to tear down cheaters and liars, especially ones who have been given the world and hoisted to idol status. It'll be fun watching these forces tangle while we await a ruling.
