		<description>In a game that lasted but an hour, for the Patriots it all came out sour. Eli&#039;s game gave him great fame, while Brady&#039;s left him in quite a shame. The big bad Giants gave em a solid pound, which left the Pats with their heads to the ground. The Patriots thought they&#039;d leave with the ring, but instead ended up with quite a sting. Everyone in NY began to cheer, as the New Englanders said Wow our guys are queer. They thought they were going to be 19-0, but instead they got fucked like a hoe. It was a game where in the end Mik said WOW, just as the Pats threw in the towel. On the winning podium the Giants stand, which caused Pat fans to bury their heads in the sand. Love Mik</description>

		<description>One more comment:  I think that anti-Pats fans like myself need to admit we hate the Pats because we&#039;re jealous of their success.  Seriously, I think this motivated me.  I see how my pathetic fish are doing and can&#039;t stand to see a division rival do so well.  I do think it&#039;s hard to be at te top.  Everyone is trying ti bring you down but to call the Pats cheaters might be going to far.  We have seen a number of fines being handed out to coaches who&#039;ve broken the rules in the past few years and we don&#039;t call them cheaters.  We only go after the top dog.</description>

		<description>As far as the Pats being cheaters, I think time will tell.  The fact that Arlen Spector is investigating the league and its handling of spygate, says to me that there is an element of truth to that claim.
The NFL is now taking a more proractive approach to the PAtriots actions in the past 6 years.
The thing is that do you think the NFL didn&#039;t know what was going on?  Of course they did and like MLB, they looked away and didn&#039;t care.
Now they seem to have found some moral ground?  That&#039;s nonsense.  If it&#039;s proven that the Pats cheated in the past, the league needs to take responsibility as well, because they would have let it go on for over 6 years.
The other thing is this:  How big a deal is videotsping signals?  Coaches steal signals during game time.  Why is it so bad when video is used.
While I hate the Pats, I think this whole thing may be blown out of proportion.  I just don&#039;t thinka  team can compile the record they ahve if they weren&#039;t truly talented.</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t ban a non-Patriots fan before a Patriots fan.

However, I stated that I would kick either of them off if they made another obscene comment.

Although I thought loki182&#039;s comments after were immature, he discontinued the foul language, while Mojo Rider continued.

I welcome any anti-Patriot comments, as long as they have a legitimate focus/point to them.  I want articulated arguments, not &quot;PATRIOTS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.&quot;  Do you understand where I&#039;m coming from?

However, it seems the majority of users want loki182&#039;s ip address blocked, so it will be for one month.  Hopefully, things will be able to calm down afterwards.

Anyways, loki182, if you want to appeal this, or talk to me, you can email me at thebusnamedgak@aol.com</description>

		<description>Shame on you guys!  I&#039;m as big a Pats Fan as you will find anywhere, but it’s no wonder we&#039;re hated and despised universally as arrogant, obnoxious and self centered.

As evidence, consider your recent actions.  No doubt this MoJo Rider character was a jerk, however his anti new England rhetoric and opinions - albeit difficult to stomach, pale in comparison to the utter total filth propagated again and again and again from the keyboard of one loki182.  Never have I read such obscene, perverse filth as witnessed by his posts over the last few days.

So - let&#039;s see if I have this right?  You&#039;re gonna ban MoJo Rider (obviously not a Pats fan) for poor behavior, and continue to let loki182 post his thoughts (obviously a Pats fan) even though his actions in my opinion were far worse.  Sounds just a bit hypocritical if you want my opinion.  I guess you fellas want it both ways.  In the end,
it smells a bit of the Pot calling the Kettle black.

...and ya&#039;ll wonder why everybody hates our guts.....</description>

		<description>Jeff,

I disaree with you.

First off, If you read any of my posts in regards to this matter, I was being attacked along with other posters constantly. Freedom of speech is one thing, however, this is a privately owned site, therefore Greg can do what he wishes and make his own rules and guidelines.

This MoJo Rider was just being a jerk about things. If he was making valid points and reasonable arguments, I would have never have gone to such extremes. I got tired of being hammered with this jargon every single time I would speak my mind. His posts were full of non-sense. He just kept repeating himself...Not to mention his attacks became personal prior to me saying anything vulgar.

Second, I apologized for my lack of class (read above) and use of vulgar language (read above). This isn&#039;t, at least to me, favoritism, this was the removal of an individual who came here to start issues with other posters. He was warned by Greg NOT to use such verbiage, as was I. Well, the difference is I STOPPED, he didn&#039;t!

Third, All I want to do here is discuss football, period! I never came here to start anything...However, I couldn&#039;t say anything without dealing with insults that had nothing to do with football. Furthermore, the whole Belicheat, 18-1* was stated over and over and over again. You have something to say? Say it, support it, and move on...Don&#039;t go out of your way to counter ever single post that is Pro-New England. There is a difference between someone speaking their mind, and jumping down someones elses throat everytime they speak theirs!</description>

		<description>Greg,

As an avid reader of your blog, allow me to make two suggestions. I am all for you blocking MoJo Rider and his obscenity-laced postings. However, loki182&#039;s comments were equally apalling. You should block him too. To not is simply showing favoritism to Patriot fans.

Second, instead of &quot;blocking all anti-Patriot commentators&quot;, I suggest you block all postings with vulgarity and/or swears (since some of your readers are likely minors). But, let others speak their mind. As a member of the press, you must respect Freedom of Speech.</description>

		<description>Ok Greg...I understand, and I really do want to apologize for my lack of class here...But I just get so angry with all of this...a comment here and there is one thing...you voice your opinion and move on...but this was excessive and he was all over other users too. Everytime either myself would say something, we&#039;d have to deal with that...it got really old....I didnt mean to get into a p***ing match...I just wanted to talk with fellow fans about our team. Also, other folks that may not be fans but just love football....Like I said Raiders4life&#039;s posts were awesome!!! Lots of good stuff there...and it was very enjoyable to read. In the future I will watch what I say.</description>
