Tony, why are Patriots fans becoming bigger douche bags than their head coach?
I read that previous post by that pats fan and it actually made sense. Except that part about crappy playing teams being the one's that disrespect the game. I'm a Cowboys fan by the way but grew up in Stoneham MA during my childhood years.
But I don't think that guy was being a douchbag. He didn't personally attack anyone (for example, Matty that I just quoted), nor did he say any profanities or wish evil doings on anybody. While browsing the forums, I've read a lot of skins fans agree that "brady deserves to get hurt" and some other disturbing comments.
No one in professional sports deserves to get hurt. Athletes do get hurt but wishing someone gets hurt is just not right.
Play the sport as it is, within it's legal boundaries. I don't believe running up the score is illegal. As exemplified in that Lions/Bears game when the Lions scored 34 points in the 4th quarter, or that Cardinals/Bears game last year when the bears overcame a huge deficit in the 4th quarter to actually win the game by their defense.
No lead is safe in the league and I think that's what belichick is trying to avert.
Peace!

its not just skins fans... alot of analysts are looking at it the same way as we fans are...
cowher had something to say about it on espn, saying hed be shocked if someone didn't take a cheap shot at him sooner or later...
this is an extremely physical game played with a high amount of emotion by a bunch of brutes... many of which aren't known for scholastic achievements, much less self control... so its only a matter of time.
I don't think there's much wrong in taking a little pleasure in it if you're a skins fan, either...
Its kinda like that redneck uncle you have... the one thats always telling you to "stop hitting yourself" as a kid, and "plays" a little too rough because he's a big asshole... then you turn 14 and he slips up and you clock him with an axe handle at a family reunion and suddenly YOU'RE the asshole...
f'em... I hope he gets hurt.... poor thing will have to sit at home and bang supermodels and count his millions of dollars and his coach will have to live knowing it was his arrogance that sealed his fate...

No analyst said that Tom Brady "deserves" a cheap shot, they only say he might be a victim of a cheap shot.

I don't see how you can possibly know that, but I will concede the point since I completely made it up anyway...
On that point, though, your assertion that "no one in professional sports deserves to get hurt" is absurd. What makes them so special? There are lots of people of every walk of life that deserve to get hurt, even killed.
I hereby change my original statement... lots of analysts think you deserve to get hurt...
I'd tend to agree... :)

No, he wasn't attacking anyone but to be here a few days after the game still talking about it his intention clearly was to instigate. There's no need for that. We have plenty of fans from other teams here, and typically after a game we'll discuss it for a day or two, both sides say good game and move on. He was just being a prick.
