Zoltan Mesko’s Fire
For some inexplicable reason I have subjected myself all day to listening to Colin Cowherd tell me how that Pats suck. Naturally he keeps bringing up the stat that we have the worst defense in the NFL. Mind you that stat is based on the ridiculous “yards allowed” which is fine, except that games aren’t decided by how many yards a team has. From there it was how the Pats lost 3 games in October, and thus they suck, but the Giants are awesome because they are playing so hot lately. This is the same team that 3 weeks ago would only make it in if they beat the Jets, and that game was questionable, with half the ESPN guys taking the Jets.
Apparently the Ravens are going to blitz every down, and double team everyone on the Pats, which means the field could get crowded with 15 of those dudes running around on every play. But I’m not going to hate. I was certain the Pats would win 2 years ago, and they were circling the bowl like a corn encrusted turd about 5 minutes into that game, and my phone was melting down from all the VT Woody phone calls I was skipping. So look, I don’t know who wins, and until Sunday, I don’t really care what anyone else thinks either. But, remember all the way back to a week ago when Tebow was unstoppable? You may have seen it on ESPN. Yeah, not so much.
Anyway, I did like Conan’s take on this. (The mousey Conan, not the one who worships Krom and fought in the gladiator arena because he wasn’t a natural citizen.)

I feel its best to not talk shit and then gloat the next day. Suddenly today at work..everybody is a Ravens fan. They’re old on defense..still game but old. Their O can’t score….Tom exploded Saturday..I expect even more next weekend.
I still hate the Pats… May Tom Brady get a flaming case of anal warts and Bill Bellechek have a major brain fart and call all hook and ladder plays.
I hope Belichick uses his Jedi powers to snuff you out before you get a chance to sell our plans to the Rebel Alliance.
I am all for the hook and ladder plays though.
TFB is going to have a field day this weekend.
I expect Ray Rice to turn into Fried Rice by the end of the game.
Goody–ONE playoff win since Bill got caught ripping signals from the Jets.
Ray Rice to fried rice? Excellent…
I can be neutral for the AFC game, although TFB did go to Corn and Blue U.
I just hope the Giants drop the 49’s. Harbaugh(Jim) went to the same Corn and Blue U, and he’s still a dick.
Sparky, actually, what the fine and loss of draft pick was for wasn’t for filming signals. That isn’t illegal and never has been.
Goodell was just hired as the Commish and is a former JETS front office guy. He came down on Belichick and New England to show how strong he was gonna be.
The mistake Coach B and the team made? Placement of the video camera. That’s it. Plain and simple. It wasn’t a violation of the NFL’s game rules, it wasn’t cheating, it wasn’t for filming signals. It was a violation of the NFL’s Operations Manual which regulates where ALL cameras (and what types of cameras) may be placed. That’s it.
The only folks alleging any cheating were the talking heads on FESPN and other sports shows, and a few moron former and current players with an ax to grind.
The Commissioner ruled explicitly that NO CHEATING occurred and never had. No one seems to want to ever point that out, however. They’d rather keep the cheating meme going for rating’s etc.
BTW, the one interesting thing that also happened during this whole situation, got scant airplay and was quickly swept under the rug: A copy of the tape that the Patriots forwarded to the Commissioner somehow managed to find it’s way onto FOX Sport’s NFL program and portions of it were aired. Interestingly enough, at the time Goodell’s wife Jane Skinner, was a FOX News anchor. Coincidence? I think not.
But, the haters will keep hating. I know you aren’t one, Sparky, and this isn’t at all directed at you, but it’s tiresome that this while “spygate/cheating” meme keeps floating around. Ah well.
Here’s to hoping New England & San Francisco both win this weekend. THAT would make for a hell of a Superbowl!
