Nobody even brought cheating up! Are we feeling guilty about something?

The only people that should feel guilty about anything are the people in the Patriots organization for trying to spy on other teams hand signals and then somehow getting the commissioner of the NFL to destroy the evidence.

how did this turn into a bullshit cheating thread. Matt isn't worth that money, except to the pats because he proved he can run that offense. Not Tom Brady, but a proven winner in my book.

There's nothing bullshit about it
Tom Brady may have had "insight" on where to throw the ball based on spying on the other teams defense. That to me should put an asterick (way worse then anything Barry Bonds did) on the success of the NE Patriots

And then Tom Brady torched the league for the best regular ever and took his team to the super and would have won if asaunt Samuel didn't biff on that gimme inteception.

I think they should keep Cassel and trade Brady.

That's the funny thing about sports. The game will catch up with every supposedly "new" thing. The NE Patriots started that season with Moss and Welker... Basically a run and shoot offense (ripped from June Jones / Atlants Falcons IMHO)
The game caught up with the Pats and by the end of the season they weren't beating everyone by 30 points.

So as far as them "ripping everyone in the regular", that wasn't happening at the end of the "regular" as you put it

16-0 and you're downplaying
