It’s the bye-week. The Patriots are 9-0. They clearly are the best team in the NFL this year, and definitely the last decade. But can they do something so special that will forever allow them to shout a collective “F-U” to the rest of the league and sports world? I think so.

These aren’t your daddies Patsies. This team is dedicated to winning and proving to the rest of the NFL that “spygate,” or whatever you want to call it, was so meaningless in the grand scheme of things, that just the mere mention of it only provides to solidify their intentions to roll over every team they play.

You want to know the bottom line? The Patriots won again. Period.

So after the game, one which plenty mistakes were made on both sides, and one in which one team capitalized just a little bit more on those mistakes, I was shocked to see the demeanor of LaDainian Tomlinson. After the game, Tomlinson yelled and pointed at a Patriots player, upset that some Patriots were dancing on the Chargers logo at midfield after they had silenced the crowd.

Everything the Patriots have stood for during that time was somehow forgotten, and something quite rancid oozed out onto the field last night. That was not New England football.

The NFL football season is fast approaching. Fans are eagerly awaiting Kickoff 2005. The players are drowning in anticipation. Then there’s Terrell Owens.

Owens, upset that the Philadelphia Eagles won’t re-negotiate his recently negotiated contract, is pulling every stunt to try to get the Eagles to give in. He threatened not to show up to training camp. Then, when he did show up to camp, he conveniently injured his groin, and has been sitting out the last several practices.

With the latest reports of Rafael Palmeiro testing positive for banned substances (steroids), I wasn’t surprised.

Am I surprised that smoking kills hundreds of thousands of people each year, yet more people start smoking? No. And I’m not surprised major league players continue to destroy themselves, and the game of baseball by cheating.

I’m also not surprised to hear Palmeiro make the claim that so many other MLB notables have made — “I didn’t knowingly take steroids.” That excuse and $40.00 might buy you a ticket to see this cheater take the field.
