Most of the experts are picking the Jets, Patriots and Dolphins to win in Week 1. The Bills picks are a mixed bag. It would be nice to see the Jets in 1st place in the AFC East, for at least a week, and even if it's in a tie. Gotta have some hope, I reckon.

The Patriots permanently reside in the rule-breaking hut
They're told to follow rules, and they say they'll be true
But they can't help but break them, and you know what?
Sometimes they don't get away with it; sometimes they do

Like everybody else.

 

[Grandpa]

Like everybody else.

Well, everybody cheats on taxes, but some do it in higher volume and more persistently. But they all scream and protest when they get caught, sure.

Looks as if the secret's out on how the Pats prepare
For opposing football teams... Our strategy's unfair:
Make the other coaches paranoid enough they'll think
There's a reason why they got warm Gatorade to drink.

Keep them busy sweeping rooms in case we've planted bugs,
Certain that, if head-sets fail, it's 'cause we've yanked the plugs,
Worried when a fan is taping their team at a game...
Belichick's the Hooded One opponents dare not name.

Haters say New England cheats; they say we break the rules,
Claiming it's the reason why we make them look like fools.
Poor New England cannot win - except for on the field -
Since the haters hide behind the NFL's own shield...

Casting slings and arrows, rumors, allegations - mud
While football's Commissioner does nothing. He's a dud.
Go ahead. Suspect us of a myriad of sins
But our crime is, mostly, that New England often wins.

Well, the news is out and the word is in,
Now in question are all those Pat’s wins.
So, all those big those trophies might not be due to masterful risks,
And should the record books note the Pat's success with an asterisk?

One of my wife’s cousins was coming up from Philadelphia for a visit this weekend. When she visits she always brings a bag of pretzels from the Philly Pretzel Factory. She was going to bring along some of these this weekend. Sadly, it’s a moot point now.

Agreed! I thought he did a really good job against the Jets in the final preseason game. Gives me even more reason to hate the Eagles... more specifically, the Eagles fans.

You would have thought The Jets would have some interest in Tebow again.

Me too, especially since I already have the jersey. But Tebow's style doesn't quite fit with Chan Gailey's offensive game plan.

What plan?

Try not to turn over the ball.

Good plan.

Can I just object to this "haters" label? I don't hate the Patriots, nor do I root for them. I would've like to've seen Brady punished, yes, for his disregard of the rules, but he didn't so I shrug and move on. He's got a lot of talent.

The Patriots are a great team. What befuddles me is they don't have to cheat like they do, and when they do, it . I guess it's their competitive nature. And then as opposed to "haters," the unconditional "lovers" of the team cry foul, or justify it, whenever, yeah, cheating is found.

Broncos are my team. If they cheat, they shouldn't get away with it. In fact, they had two members of their team suspended for one and four (I think) games. They didn't file a Federal action. They took it. In fact, one of the guys said, "It's my fault, and I'll serve it out." Kinda refreshing, actually.
