Spygate

There has been lot of questions about the legitimacy of the Patriots perfect season and their previous Superbowl wins. More recently from the Senator Arlen Spector that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has to give more answers. While Senators sanity and creditability is questionable, it does raise some doubts in any normal human being, more so in my cynically infested mind. Before I dissect into this, I want to make one thing very clear. If anything this whole episode has made be more passionate and ardent Patriots fan, it would digression to delve into my reasoning for this and why I clearly I need professional. But it is interesting to analyze and rationalize others point of view.

Patriots fan: This one is the easiest. Clearly the fans don’t want to believe any of this and reason out jealousy as the main cause for trying to taint the Patriots.

Other fans: Their team has been spanked by Patriots and on verge of history by going 19-0. While they are disappointed at the team’s loss they are also looking for consolation as this fits perfectly into their scheme. Instead of directing all the disappointment and angry toward their dear team, they can direct it to this issue.

NFL: The commissioner did hand out fines and Patriots had to forfeit some draft picks for next year, but it was widely viewed as lenient punishment. There is a very compelling and probably the only reason behind this commissioner wanted to quell any loss of revenue to the NFL because of this incident. Maybe a small part was also reinstating trust in NFL. NFL is run only to generate revenue!

Media: had a field day when the scandal broke. The debate started if the previous Superbowl wins were doubts. But unfortunately they realized readers were getting tired of the same story and luckily for them Patriots unbeaten season came along. So they conveniently shifted focus on to unbeaten season. By doing this it was a mutually exclusive decision, because they couldn’t glorify them if it was tainted. Hence Spygate scandal was pushed underneath the magnificent edifice of an unbeaten season. Then comes the interesting part, Newyork Times digs some the letters and incites Senator Arlen Spector to come out and ask for answers. Maybe Newyork Giant's last ditch efforts to rattle Patriots.

Kalkoholism: In end nobody cares what really happened and will always perceive what they always wanted.

Go Pats!!
