The husband is a huge Pats fan (me, I am a Niners girl, so it's okay for me to root for Tom Brady since we both grew up in the Bay Area in the 1980s...actually, I think Brady just bought and moved into the building I lived in when I first moved to Boston - keep in mind that I lived in the basement apartment of that building and he just renovated the top two floors and turned them into a deluxe penthouse condo for himself). Hubs take on this whole debacle is that this happens all the time. He mentioned that 2 backup QBs in college football will give different playcalls where 1 is correct and the other is to throw off the other team. Hubs also said that teams will sometimes have a "spy" in the stands watching the other team's play calls. This is why it is common for coaches to call plays from behind a clip board. Overall he thinks Mangini is petty and this whole thing is being blown up by the media. Going back to the Niners, I am shocked they are 2-0. Hubs is mad that I am rooting for them because the Pats have the Niners first round pick and Hubs wants the Niners to lose lots of games so the Niners/Pats pick is one of the first ones. According to Hubs (notice where I obtain a lot of my sports info), if the Pats make the playoffs they will lose their first round pick BUT the Pats will retain the pick they received from the Niners.

It's clear the Pats would've beaten the Jets with or without the video, but as a New Yorker I can't pretend I don't feel a little bit of redemption in the 'maybe they aren't so good' meme going around the sports world now. I always suspected there might be something there, because Belichick had such an awful run as head coach of the Browns. End of story is that everyone in the NFL cheats, but some just flaunt it too much. Simple fact is that one idiotic non-necessary attempt to gain advantage by Belichick has tarnished his 3 Super Bowls wins and his legacy in a way that never NEEDED to happen - and from that I think we may learn an even more important lesson from the Patriots, namely that integrity counts for something. Belichick is very good at what he does, but I doubt many people would call him a good person after all of this. There's good guys on that team, though, and I would hate to see this whole thing take anything away from them - Brady is a true Cinderella story, and I respect his QB and leadership abilities; Bruschi is a hell of a guy; I always thought Corey Dillon was an amazing RB and finally got his due in NE; and their O-line and D are, from a Jet perspective, from Hell. So, bad coach - but I don't blame the team. Those guys are still tough to beat, and deserving of respect. Even though I'll be pulling for the Chargers I don't hold the Pats' coach against the team itself. I was going to say something, but I didn’t.
