It still stings. I have to go watch SB 34 now!

Sorry Mike I can't forget about any tape, because when I first heard about the Jets tape deep down I knew that wasn't the only game. There is no way that was the only time the Pats taped/cheated. Then all of a sudden the NFL takes more tapes and destroys them and Goodell gives a ridiculous answer as to why he destroyed them. That was when I knew for sure we were taped when we played them in the regular season in 2001 and we won (how convenient for the Pats that we played them in the regular season), and now it seems they taped our walkthrough also, big surprise. :x
There would have been more tapes of more teams but the Pats obviously got rid of them because they were obviously of no use after a year or two. After a couple of years who needs a tape of the 2001 Rams since players and schemes change etc.
You are right the officiating was horrible, and the game was basically given to the Pats. The blatant holding, the helmet to helmet hits, the mugging of WRs were all a huge part of that cheating mess and we still almost won. After all of that I still can't forget the tapes that I believe have existed since Bellicheat started coaching the Pats.
I'm glad this senator is going after Goodell. The gov't wastes money on a bunch of other crap, so let them get involved in this also. I want to see the Pats exposed for what they are....cheaters.
