Patriots fans vs. the World

[kiahMTC]

(Not a big fan of this reporter but he is spot on in this article.)

"There is no middle.

There is Patriot world, where everything is awesome, Bob Kraft is Gandhi, Bill Belichick is a god, and Tom Brady would never do anything to disgrace the uniform or the game.

And there is the rest of the free-thinking world. Where reality lives.

In Patriot world, the NFL is out to get you. Everybody is out to get you. It’s a conspiracy. It’s a sting. The Wells Report is ridiculously flawed. There are factual errors. The league was OK playing half of the AFC Championship game with footballs that might have not been inflated properly. The other 31 franchises are insanely jealous of the Patriots’ success. A couple of New England’s adult ball boys maybe went off the reservation, but all the evidence against the Patriots is circumstantial. The league has nothing.

In the rest of the free-thinking world, the Patriots are liars and cheaters. They were caught red-handed in Spygate in 2007 and now the league has got them again. The Patriots intentionally and systematically deflated footballs, below legal limits, to accommodate Brady. They did it because they believed it gave them a competitive advantage (more completions, less fumbling, better play in bad weather — all Patriot trademarks). Brady knew about it, lied about it, then withheld information from the Wells investigators.

None of the above is going to change. Folks are going to align themselves with one side or the other. Even after the penalties are announced."

And there are those of us that already know nothing will really come of it either way. Nothing will change.

If they cheated, then they get to live with the knowledge that is the only way they could have gone so far.

If they did not, then they know they will have to work hard and work cleaner than anyone else now that so many eyes will be on them in order to retain their standing.

Time will not be turned back, there is no do over, it is as it is.

THAT is the reality of it.
