Quotewaterfield My last response to this is that people in business destroy documents, photos, tapes, etc. all the time for several reasons. Mostly its simply often a good business practice. To prove a "cover up" you need evidence that it was done with the purpose to avoid discovery But even if I admit that the BB is the single most horrific individual -akin to Adolph Hitler-ever to waby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield sorry but your question assumes a fact not proven. There has been no "evidence" they "burned evidence". Indeed there is no evidence they did anything "intentionally" to thwart an investigation. You can say "Oh come on we all know they did". No "we all" don't know.

QuoteClassicalwit QuoteRamgator Did pretty good as a rookie. Quite certain he'll find all the ins and outs to getting open. Let's not forget, Brady often has a LOT of time to throw, hence giving Amendola time to find gaps in coverage. Both Kupp and Goff are grinders. I expect them to work on their craft together for years. Goff will probably insist that the WRs work with him during the off seasby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteXXXIVwin Nice post, Ramdude. I certainly know the Patriots cheat, a lot, over decades, in many ways, and it has helped them a ton. Personally, I am less convinced that refs have been “instructed” to favor the Pats. I think this would be much much harder to coverup and would be too risky to attempt. I believe that the Pats are exceptionally good at bending the game rules and alsoby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Very talented child there Joe. I like them both also but the Helmet chair is my favorite. Blue and Yellow would have been better since that will be our new colors again! They look great though. :thumbsupby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield Yep. That's a pretty smart organization to get one of the best coaches of all time and one of the best qbs of all time together. And they know what their doing ! I think the cheating thing is born from jealousy much like I use to try and find fault with the Yankees during all those World Series wins.

QuoteCoy Bacon No one can do what the Pats have done without having some greatness in the entire franchise. Pure and perfect? No. Substantial track record? Yes.

Quotelaram There were many reasons why the Rams lost the game, I don't think that's debatable...BUT... The point of the post was to demonstrate the disparity in situational coaching.

Quotelaram the disparity in coaching in the NFL. Situational coaching if you will. Going all the way back to 2002 Pats/Rams Super Bowl. In that game the Rams defense had totally stifled Brady and the Pats offense for 3 1/2 qtrs. They made Brady look like an amateur the entire game until closing time.
