There are 31 losing teams every year, NE has been part of them for 10 years...

Sure you would.......

Such a shame.

Wonder if Gordon can get his job back selling cars, because I think he's played his last down in the NFL.

It's great that you can put morals aside, but it would kill any joy I could possibly get out of a sports team winning.

So if Atlanta was accused of cheating you'd stop being a fan of them?

Plenty of people are..but would never admit it...

Hell the guy in the airport in orlando the other day make a joke i don't sell gum to pats fans and as we both laughed he said i am not a fan of the pats..but man they are always in contention. He didn't come out and say he was jealous...but it was a hint.

of course he wouldn't. He's just saying it because his team hasn't been caught with anything yet

I know. Let's put the shoe on the other foot and see if you would abandon your team if they were accused of something this. It had ZERO baring on the Colts game and there has been ZERO proof that it was intentional. The Pat's are in the big game again and your team is not. It's all sour grapes as far as i'm concerned.

How about cheating that does happen!
Do all the players on (insert your team here) go to the refs and report the holding(as an example) that doesn't get called on, virtually, every play? Why not? Is that not a form of cheating?

If someone can say they will never support their team if they are accused of cheating, is a better man than I. That's for sure.
Methinks there's not as much moral highground here, as there is disdain for the Patriots and their years of winning so much.

I would not support their accomplishments during that time, no.

So are you still an Atlanta Braves fan after Smoltz doctored balls all those years? That would include the '95 World Series.
So you don't support any of that? Wow. You are a person of high morals!

The only person who has ever been reported of claiming such a thing also said that his words were taken out of context the next day.

But nice try.

Hmmmm...interesting.

Hey, like the Patriots, I don't have a horse in the race. But the amount of moral high ground on display here is, at least, on the surface, a tad laughable.
So the next time an Atlanta Falcon is busted for PED use, you'll still support the team? They hired that player afterall. And it is cheating.

So what we have here, I suspect, is more jealousy then actual outrage over cheating. Because I'm pretty sure everyone who posts on this thread would be supporting their team if they did the same thing.
Now...the wait begins. Better hope your team doesn't slip up. LOL! Of course I suspect you'd find some "technicality" to still support them.

The bottom line: all teams cheat to some degree.

Alcohol wow really the guy got popped for having a drink???

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio confirms Josh Gordon's one-year suspension stems from a failed test for alcohol, a substance Gordon was prohibited from consuming following his July 2014 DUI.

Consuming alcohol seems minor to all of us, but it was explicitly banned for Gordon as part of his DUI treatment plan. As NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted on Twitter, the NFL's substance abuse policy is "extremely strict and spelled out. He'll wait for 2016." Gordon will be 25 1/2 years old when the 2016 season kicks off. He led the NFL in receiving yards at age 22.

WTF? Alcohol isn't illegal. No way should someone be suspended for that. This is getting ridiculous.

Of course. When you drive around drunk, risking lives, and the court says don't drink...guess what? You don't drink!
He did. He's a dummy. He's done!

No he doesn't. He had a few drinks. We all do. It isn't even against the law.
