"Patriot Games"

With one second still remaining on the clock during the Patriots stunning Superbowl loss, Patriot head coach Bill "Belicheat" stormed off the field, refusing to watch Eli Manning kneel down and seal the deal for the New York Giants. Bill Belichick's poor sportmanship and lack of class only added to the scrutiny that he and the Patriot organization have faced. In the first game of this season against the New York Jets, the Patriots were discovered to be secretly taping the opposing teams coaches and stategic signals. The league came down hard on the Patriots organization fining them $250,000 along with a fisrt round draft pick. The league also fined head coach Bill "Belicheat" for the amount of $500,000. This scandal has become know as, "Spygate", a pun referencing the the infamous Watergate Scandal that took place within our government. The "Spygate" scandal has been a pain in the ass for the Patriots, and the story has followed them throughout the season. Some sportwriters even went as far as placing an asterisk next to the Patriots team name when writing about them. About a few days before the Superbowl, a story had just been released that the Patriots were accused of taping the St. Louis' Rams pre-Superbowl walkthrough the night before the 2002 Superbowl. The Patriots were underdogs in that game but thanks to some nifty camera work they upset the St. Louis Rams to win the Superbowl. The Patriots organization has denied this accusation but sooner or later someone will want answers from the Patriots. The U.S. Congress is now stepping into the matter and there is a chance they will subpoena the Patriot cameraman who was accused to testify. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has also been taking heat lately for deliberatly destroying the videotapes that were confiscated from the Patriot organization after he issued his punishment to the team. The Patriots organization even had the nerve to apply for a trademark of, "19-0 The Perfect Season", before the Superbowl was even played. Im glad someone shut the Patriots up.
