I celebrate Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and the NE Patriots as an Athlete and a Coach

[jpak]

and as a NFL team.

Period.

I'm from NE - who will I root for?

It's a fucking game people - and millions of Americans of every stripe will be watching and partying tonight.

A unique American Experience.

just stop it - enjoy the spectacle.

And hope Maroon 5 trolls the Orange One.

Majorly

Just sayin'

[hlthe2b]

1. I'm sorry for those Patriot players, who, like most of us, detest Trump...

That said, (and though I've never had a reason to root for the Rams in my lifetime), GO RAMS!!!!

[jpak]

2. Rams - Sheep

Will any Take a Knee tonight?

Go Pats!

[demtenjeep]

3. I will celebrate it being BRADY's last game ever

how ever it comes about

[jpak]

5. Dream On

Brady = GOAT

4-evah

[demtenjeep]

23. I'll stick with my MVP

Mahomes will eat goat for breakfast

[djg21]

29. That worked out well!

Mahomes will have his day, but it won’t be while Brady remains in the league. Brady will be back for number 7 before he retires.

4. Belicheater deserves to lose.

Brady needs to be deflated a bit.

[jpak]

6. Who Cares?

GO PATS!

[ProfessorGAC]

13. A Bears Fan Here

Bellicheater?
Prove it!
All 32 teams were doing that, and I have first hand proof my team was doing the EXACT SAME THING!

[guillaumeb]

25. Even if every one was doing it, it is still cheating.

And deflate-gate remains.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Hillarious

First, if the rules were so ill-defined that nearly everyone thought it was OK, it's hardly cheating. Capricious enforcement is an indicator of vague rules
Second, deflate gate was a big pile of nothing.
The gas law makes it TOTALLY clear that those footballs were properly inflated at game start.
The Patriots cannot control the laws of physics.

[WeekiWater]

7. Belichick is pretty amazing at his trade. Could be the best.

As is Brady.

[Initech]

8. Sorry but I'm from LA and I will be rooting for the Rams all the way.

We don't have much to cheer about sports wise elsewhere. So GO RAMS!!!

[jpak]

10. U R OK wid me

[monmouth4]

9. GO RAMS!!!!!!!

[jpak]

12. GO PATS!!!!!111

hee hee

[hlthe2b]

11. I gotta admit, seeing Gladys Knight sing the Anthem had me teary eyed...

Probably because we've lost so many iconic performers recently, like the great Aretha... especially poignant to see her sing even though it was controversial for her to do so.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Mostly Agree

But then, the $75,000 flyover made me angry.

[hlthe2b]

16. Oh, yeah. The NFL "ownership" and exploitation of patriotism and military pisses me off no end

[ProfessorGAC]

17. You Forgot The Word "Fake"

As it relates to the show of patriotism.

[hlthe2b]

18. yup

[still_one]

14. you are right it is just a f**king game, where players get injured for life, enriching those who

who could give a f**k about those players

[Baltimike]

19. I feel kinda deflated about Brady and Belichick. nt

[Croney]

20. Go Pats! Fuck Trump!

[Drahthaardogs]

21. Trumpers.

Fuck the lot of em.

[Miles Archer]

22. I'm was born in Massachusetts...

...that whole "Masshole" phenomenon that people outside of the state have heard about? It's a real thing. I neither enjoyed nor look back fondly on my first 16 years that I spent there. Decades later, I've never gone back for a visit, even though most of my friends and family have.

I don't care for Brady, regardless of his politics. But when you add Trump into the mix, I REALLY don't care for him.

Yeah, it is just a game, and I'd like to see the "Pats" lose.

Won't be watching, but will follow the scores because my girlfriend IS a "Pats"...and Brady...fan.

[More_Cowbell]

24. Rams owner and Patriots owner both gave $1 million to Trump

For his inaugural committee https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/09/24/how-much-money-nfl-owners-have-donated-donald-trump/698256001/

I bet the majority of players on both teams loathe him. But many team owners support him.

[GusBob]

27. When they visit the WH the game is over

When they fawn over Trump and support what he had to say about the NFL , the ratings, the protests, telling the owners how to run their business, encouraging boycotts, calling the players soft.... what am I missing

When the players show up to the White House they become traitors to their colleagues and the sport of football

Every player who shows up should turn in their equipment and retire as they are no longer professional athletes who respect the NFL

[Paladin]

28. Glad your team won. It was a boring, substandard game, nonetheless.

I don't care how many "experts" argue otherwise.
