Sharpies and cell phones and mock-mooning and the like are becoming all too commonplace. I think that for the most part, the Pats refrain. Are they perfect? No...but compared to many other players/teams, I think they epitomize class (which, I guess we agree on given your statement below). > Tomy Brady screaming at the refs > > Overall however, the patriots are a very selfless team... Minimal "I" BS > like so many other teams display. No, I didn't see Brady screaming at the refs...but I didn't watch the whole game either. Like I said, they're not all perfect. Football is still a sport of emotion and heart, and sometimes that's bound to get the better of you. In reading a few articles prior to last week's game, I remember reading one of the Pats players saying something to the effect of, "we don't see ourselves as the 'defending champs'. that was last year. this is a new year and we're trying to win games". That's the kind of humbleness (?) to which I was referring. -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ Marta was watching the football game with me when she said, "You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group protecting its territory from invasion by another group." "Yeah," I said, trying not to laugh.
