Chargers weren't dazzling [their defense was], but they got the big W over those Bears. I still can't get over the Eagles losing to the Packers like that, gah. And as far as all things go, despite the fact that I've always been a Chargers fan and that naturally makes you hate all AFC West teams, I have a great deal of respect for Jason Elam, who is mad clutch. That guy hits em all, yikes.

As far as the Patriots go, despite the fact that I love the Red Sox to death, I just can't be a Pats fan. That whole cheating thing, I really don't know what to make of it. And after their showing against the Chargers last year, I've lost all respect for that organization. You can say what you want to the media [hardly anything and try to sound respectable] but I just don't know anymore. Chargers will stick it to them Sunday night, you'll see. :]

I'm def not a Pats fan, but . . . seriously?

Cheating:
-Stealing signals happens, all the time, every sport . . . the Pats were prob a little brazen, and got caught. Don't think they're the only ones doing it . . .
-Which is worse: stealing signs, or 4 games for steroid use? Harrison got caught, too (but never failed a test), but that's my whole point - this isn't unique to the Pats. Your bolts are in the same boat, and maybe worse . . .

AFC playoffs:
-So it's fine for Merriman to do it on his own, but bad when people make fun of him? Just checking, I guess. I feel like all is fair game . . .

The Pats just got caught...and I still wonder how much Mangini knew about this when he was on thier payroll and just decided Sunday that he would chirp up.

I tell ya..Goddell has his hands full in less than a year on the job

From ESPN This cracked me up when I read it .. I needed a laugh today!

As news continues to develop regarding allegations that the Patriots spied on the Jets during Sunday's game at the Meadowlands, Page 2 tapped into its extensive network of sources to reveal further details of New England's espionage.

• In a marketing coup through stadium sponsor Gillette, all Gillette razors sold nationwide are bugged and outfitted with GPS devices.

• Each one of Asante Samuel's dreadlocks is a stick of dynamite.

• Laurence Maroney's gold teeth come from his apprenticeship under Jaws.

- Tom Brady can burn through locks with his smoldering eyes.

• The apostrophe in Donte' Stallworth's name is actually is a listening device.

• Vince Wilfork conceals a surveillance van underneath his jersey.

• Former wide receiver Reche Caldwell's eyeballs were actually surveillance cameras, but like his hands, they malfunctioned in the AFC Championship Game.

• Bill Belichick has hired Bill Belichick to maintain surveillance on Bill Belichick. (No one else can be trusted to handle such a sensitive assignment.)

• Belichick has the wives of 24 NFL coaches on his payroll.

• Defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith, offensive lineman Logan Mankins and wide receiver Jabar Gaffney are clearly using ridiculous aliases.

• Team bus equipped with smoke screen and oil slick devices.

• Adalius Thomas was signed from the Ravens to head New England's organized crime division.

• Ted Johnson knew too much, and we suspect Belichick had his memory erased.

• The entire Cincinnati Bengals' roster has been outfitted with tracking bracelets.

• An operative working inside the Dolphins organization executed Miami's trade for 37-year-old quarterback Trent Green.

• WR/DB/KR Troy Brown is a shape-shifter who can spy by becoming players on other teams.

• Tedy Bruschi is a superhero (but that's no secret).

• Wide receiver Wes Welker was signed primarily because he's able to fit in crawl spaces and doggie doors at opposing teams' headquarters.

I am just mad I didn't have Plaxico in my lineup instead of on the BENCH!D'OH!

In my fantasy league, Plaxico got the guy who played him 40 pts.

I have Randy Moss, and his 33 pts. helped me to victory.

**evil grin** Randy Moss and Marvin harrison on my squad....

how'd you get both? that's madd WR talent to have on one team?

how many in your league?
surpentine draft?
did you use an acquired draft pick (via trade) from a previous year?

no way two WRs that good should be on the same team....that is unless you're have like zero talent at the RB position?

this is from the GC league....lemme show u the rest..i

Niiiicee !!!! see...u coulda been in the GCers league....we needed one extra!!

MD DEF teams include

Indy

ATL and Philly

3 quarters of a million dollar$!!!
 

Pats... Wow... 3/4 million fine for illegal filming or whatever it is. Just wow... :eek: And they are not the only ones... This is the the tip of the iceberg.

Yea check out the new cheating fines assessed to the F1 racing McLaren team...$100 mil. Yep. Million. Ouch.

Go Pack Go! The offense didn't do much, but the defense and special teams really came through. I'm not worried about the offense. Favre will turn them around, but I really get frustrated with D and ST, so I am very happy about that. I just wish we had Fox at my house...we have a million channels, but Fox isn't one of them. Stupid Time-Warner! Fortunately, my folks are in Wisconsin and could watch it and give me updates.

...are you serious? that's a drop in the bucket certainly for the team, and most likely to the coach-- that's if he even has to pay it. I wouldn't be surprised if Kraft pays the fine.

The Patriots have two #1 picks next year anyway, so losing one, while painful, isn't as dramatic as it might appear.

I do agree this may be the tip of the iceberg if the other allegations which, apparenlty have been made by several teams, prove true.

but hey, I have the Patriots defense and two of the offensive players on my fantasy team, so if they get hyped and perform better, it's all good. :)
