^^ Well said man.
The Patriots have the best front office and coaching in the league. They groomed a lot of good players and built an organization that players want to play for. When you can get good player to take a paycut to play on your team, you have an advantage over the salary cap-parity. Good for the Pats for being such a good organization that players want to play for them.
But that's the thing. Since everybody knows the Pats are such a good team, they have no reason to act like bullies hitting a little kid when he's already down. Nobody in society likes it when the "entitled" members of society flex their muscles and give a big "fuck you, I can do whatever I want to and you won't stop me" to the rest of society. That's what George Bush did, that's what all the rich "white people" did, and now that's what Bill Belichick is doing.
If the Patriots went 16-0 quietly and beat teams convincingly, everyone would stand there in awe and respect. But when they're being arrogant motherfuckers about it, it makes 31 other teams in football and the rest of America look at them and realize this is a situation where someone let the power go to their head and forgot all about class and morals.
