9) Screw the Bad Guys

The common logic seems to be dynasties are good for sports because we need an evil empire to cheer against.  I don’t need someone to cheer against, I just need my teams to win.  When they aren’t winning, there is usually an evil dynasty in the way.

10) Poor Sportsmanship

Mocking Merriman last year against the Chargers.   Mocking the Eagles in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.  Spygate.  Running up the score.  Ty Law and Co. illegally holding and clawing well beyond the line of scrimmage to cover Harrison and Co., prompting a rule change.  The list will surely grow this year.

11) Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel

To overrated players who never come up in best LB discussions, but are covered during the playoffs as if they were the best LB tandem since Lawrence Taylor and Carl Banks. 

12) Mike Vrabel at TE

Why?  The sooner they lose and he gets old I never have to see this in the red zone again.  Its not cute, it’s typically Patriots unnecessary shenanigans, tomfoolery, and other forms of monkeyshines.

13) More Hate

How can the Eagles be the biggest underdogs in the last 30 years against these guys?  I mean we suck, but are we really that bad?  Obviously not, as were it not for Jabar Gaffney, I could be drinking a good cup of Egg Nog right now instead of writing a response to Jesse’s article. 

14) Share the Wealth

I’m a Robin Hood theorist at heart.  A good penalty for Spygate would have been to break these guys up and distribute their assets to the Jets and Eagles.  (We’ll take Moss and Brady)  Seriously though, Brady will never eclipse winning prior Super Bowls with probably the worst receiving cores in Super Bowl history.  He doesn’t deserve to play with the wealth of offensive talent he’s been blessed with.  I guess the rich get richer.

15) Negative Role Models

What about the kids?  If the Patriots win doesn’t that tell our kids that the better you are at cheating, you’ll have so much money and success that by the time you get caught you can just shrug it off?

16) The Ultimate Hater’s Bowl

The prospect of a New England Patriots v/s Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl has me about to vomit.  I can’t think of a worse scenario.  Who do you cheer for?  If this game materializes, I’m rooting hard for a tie.  Since I can’t get this, the next best alternative is Patriots win, then it is later found out that they had been videotaping Cowboys signals all year long and they are stripped of the title.  That way, Pats don’t have the ring and the Cowboys ring has an asterisk beside it.
