    Yes, a 38-point margin can be blamed 100 percent on footballs being an ounce too light or too heavy. :rolleyes:

    And Nixon would've clobbered McGovern without Watergate dirty tricks, too.

    The point is, what does it say about an organization that's always trying to skirt the rules?

    Nope, just making a joke but I forgot the blue font. I blame the new software.

    As sidebar on of the local HS football teams in my area took a bit of poetic license with Belichick
    playbook and paid a player from rival HS for his HUDL codes. Rival coaches found out because
    they noticed an unusual pattern of usage for a backup lineman.

    Yep. Also leads to the question of what are they doing that we don't know about?

    It sure does follow a pattern, as do the legends of jammed headsets as a team gets rolling in a hurry-up drill and everything else that crops up in discussions about playing in New England.

    Figured this is as good a spot to put this as anywhere. From MMQB:
    k. Congrats on your choice of Dartmouth, prep QB Harry Kraft (son of Pats president Jonathan Kraft). You’ll be with a good quarterback man there in Buddy Teevens.

    Teevens was 21-69 at Tulane and Stanford.

    I know you were making a joke, but a lot of people are actually making this argument.

    Cheating is OK because it was a blowout?

    Sure, it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but if it's true, it's cheating.

    As they say in wrestling, win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.
