The Patriots are now full of asterisks

5/19/08 – 5/25/08


Well it came the day we all new it would as well as wanted to come. Recently Matt Walsh handed over videos to the NFL. The videos show what most of everyone besides their own fans of course, that the patriots did in fact cheat. Not only did they cheat but they cheated as far back as 2000. In 2001 of course that is when they won their first super bowl.

Since then they have won two more. That’s make them 3-5 overall in team history during the super bowls.

So now that we know this, what should we do? Because we all know for a fact that the National Football League, will not do a thing more then they have. Well for now on when you see the word patriots, in future articles you will now see two asterisks. I know it sounds silly, but you can now say, I am doing my part.

That part is not letting go of nor forgetting what the *Patriots* have done to the NFL as a hole, as well as to a country of sports fans.

I know some (*Patriots* fans) will say, does it really matter as well as say that all NFL teams do this. My response to that would be: that you are just trying to justify your team treason like actions and at that point I would just walk away from that fan.

I say treason because the definition seems to fit perfectly as to what they did. Here is the definition: “the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.”

The betrayal of trust and confidence seems right on for the *Patriots*. As they betrayal all fans of the National Football League besides their own of course. By compromising the integrity of this country football and that my friend is why the *patriots* are now full of asterisks.
