I have rarely encountered more irrational hate for ANYTHING as the hate people have for the patriots just because they know how to win. They are far from the only team marred in controversy. The Saints, the supposedly strongest team in the league this season, was actually found guilty for purposefully head hunting/hurting players. Most of the controversy involving the Pats has led nowhere.
I see it in every sport, a team starts to do well and people start calling unfairness, bribery, league preference, etc. Let's face it, The Pats were FAR from the team they have been in the past and they still found a way to win, like good teams do, and people still had the balls to say it was because of the refs. REALLY? I guess nobody remembers when the Steelers beat the Cardinals and NO ONE complained about unfair calls against Arizona, NOT EVEN ARIZONA!
The Patriots are Tom Brady, when he retires, they will suck and everyone can be happy.
