Some Comments on the Comments:
1. Best of all I didn't have to read the 8000 odd posts people wrote on this topic. The anger, frustration, and justified indignation that I didn't experience have added years to my life.
2. I didn't know that the story would take this exactly this shape, but I KNEW something like this would eventually come out....and come out it did
3. It should be known, btw, that Florio and Curran are buddies and often appear on each other's shows. Don't be surprised if Florio's heads up on this came from Curran.
4. If what the Curran/Florio story is even 80% true, this entire thing becomes a complete Patriot vindication, and an absolute disaster for the NFL FO, Colts and Ravens.
5. I'm really glad that for the next week there will be a lot of people who are going to be apologizing to the Pats. I'm also glad that I now feel comfortable scanning the radio and TV for football talk, knowing I'm actually going to hear football talk.
6. I do recognize that there will always be those haters and losers who aren't going to let his "little" set back slow down their efforts to bring down the Patriots. From them we will hear comments like, "they just were caught......THIS time", or "the league is covering up for them again", or the Westoff insanity of, "well you don't know half of what they used to do".
7. BB drew the line in the sand on Friday. He and Kraft finally stopped being the good soldiers for Goodell, and basically said, "we haven't done anything wrong, and we aren't going to sit and take it anymore.
8. Finally, I'm PISSED, and I'm out for blood. I want my pound of flesh. I don't want simply see people walk away from this with a Rosanne Rosanadana-esque "NEVER MIND". The not only was the Pats reputation hurt, a bad lawyer could prove economic damages. They were POSITIVELY slandered. Christ, NPR"s Wait Wait Don't Tell Me lampooned the Pats TWICE during the show, including a segment where they aske the guest to guess "how the Pats will cheat next Sunday" That's NP freakin' R
It was all in fun and I recommend the show to all, but it only goes to show you just how far the story had been ridden, and almost all of it negative to the Patriots franchise. This just doesn't go away with a simple, I'm sorry. This franchise has been subject to significant damage. Heads have to role. Draft picks have to be exchanged. Money has to be exchanged. Hell find me a lawyer who wants to sue ESPN and the NFL FO on behalf of Patriots fans for undue emotional suffering, I'll be first to sign
9. I've read all the posts on this thread. I've had my say, and now, thank god, I don't have to read any more. Let's talk some FOOTBALL
