It's journalists like you that ruin the credibility of the media and make it hard for honest, hard-working journalism students like me to get a good job. I am a fan of the Patriots, and I can tell you that they have been anything but America's team. They've been disrespected by most NFL analysts (see: Tom Jackson, John Madden, Chris Mortensen), they had to win two more Superbowls after beating the "Greatest Show on Turf" before anyone considered them the real deal, and since the incident they've gone on to methodically destroy the Chargers and Bills. So you can be bitter and try and argue that they cheated for six years, but come on now. Do you really think that in six years, no head coach, assistant, owner, GM, or player would have seen anything? If you do, then you're crazy and should probably stop writing about sports, let alone real news. You really have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe in your own little world.
