Should People Boycott The Herald Until They Fire John Tomase?
As everybody knows by now John Tomase did his best to get invited on WEEI and Around the Horn next week by writing an article insinuating that the Pat's videotaped the Rams Fluff Practice before the Superbowl. Of course he refused to name his source even though everybody already knows it's former Pats employee Matt Walsh who was fired 3 years ago and has an axe to grind with the team. Walsh had been this shopping this story to anybody who would listen and he finally hit the jackpot with Tomase who was as desperate as Walsh to make a big splash at the Superbowl. In many respects it was a match made in heaven. Anyway, I've already written a blog about how ridiculous this entire thing is, but I want to take it to the next level. I don't think we should let Tomase get away with this type of yellow journalism. Drastic times calls for drastic measures. I think we need to boycott the Boston Herald (except the Inside Track) until Tomase either issues a formal apology for publishing this garbage or the Herald fires his ass. Something has to give here. I'm not going to just sit by and let some fat bastard reporter who is desperate for attention make shit up just so he can see his name in lights. Not on my watch.
Breaking News: Andre Tippett in the Hall of Fame
As the Patriots creep ever closer to immortality, it seems like every human colostomy bag in America is lining up to diminish what they're about to accomplish. Arlen Specter, Mercury Morris, Gregg Easterbrook and a million others are tearing at each other for a place in the spotlight so they can be the loudest one to tell us the Patriots record doesn't mean anything and Oh, by the way...Pay attention to me everybody...
With all that being thrown at the Patriots, it's the perfect time for some good news, and it's come in the form of LB Andre Tippett getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. That makes him just the second career Patriot in Canton after John Hannah, and it's long goddamned overdue.
Tippett was a beast. One of the great pass rushing LBs in NFL history who was also unblockable against the run and could drop into pass coverage with the best of them. There are only two reasons he had to wait so long for induction:
- In spite of his efforts, the Patriots sucked for most of his career.
- Lawrence Taylor
Tippett suffered from comparisons to Taylor as they played the same role on two very different teams. Was Taylor better? Sure. But not by so much that one was a first ballot guy and the other had to sweat it out for 14 years. As the Globe pointed out, Tippett had 100 career sacks, Taylor had 132.5, a difference of 1.4 per season. He also had two fewer cocaine suspensions than Taylor and never got the publicity that comes from instant-classic quotes like "She set me up like a motherfucker..." Mike Vrabel, who's been wearing a Tippett 
throwback jersey in practice said it as well as anybody: "We get the media guide and I look at those numbers and I'm like, I had a pretty good season [12 1/2 sackes], I'm still six sacks away, or whatever, from Tippett. So, it's like he really was a great player. He gave the fans of New England something to look forward to when they had a bad team."
My favorite Tippett story came off the field. In his playing days he lived in a condo not far from where I lived in Weymouth. There was an old bucket of blood nightclub in town called The Great Escape (aka The Great Mistake) where Tippett was hanging out one night with a buddy. According to the news reports Tip, a black belt, kicked the crap out of some guy. Anyone who knew anything about Tippett,... and The Great Mistake ... knew what had happened. Some douchebag, full of more liquid courage than brains, tried to make a name for himself by picking a fight with toughest guy on the Pats. And he found out the hard way what every quarterback, tight end and offensive lineman in the NFL already knew: you didn't F with Andre Tippett. He was already a legend, that night he was a hero. Now he's an Immortal. Congratulations. It's about time.
NY Times Reports That Rams Spied On Pats Before Superbowl When It Happened!
By JUDY BATTISTA
Published: February 2, 2002
NY TIMES FEB 2 2002 - The Patriots practiced for 1 hour 54 minutes in cool temperatures at Tulane University, and every player was pronounced fit and ready to play. Quarterback Tom Brady moved well throughout practice and said his sprained left ankle did not bother him at all. ''On Sunday night, I expect it to be 100 percent,'' he said. Halfway through practice, Patriots' linebackers coach Pepper Johnson noticed something in a third-floor window of a house next to the field. Club and league officials said a telescope was clearly visible in the window, according to a pool report, and that 15 minutes later, a person appeared at the window, and then vanished.
Hmm, think we'll be the only website in the world that reports this? I GUARANTEE if this was the Pats with the telescope there would literally be a Federal Investigation. And by literally I mean literally. Hell Arlen Specter may still investigate how the Rams spying on the Pats was actually considered cheating by the Pats. Don't ask me how he'll make that argument, but it won't be any crazier than anything else everybody is saying right now. Like we've said from the beginning. Everybody tapes and films and spies on everybody. The only difference is that we're the best and everybody is jealous of us and hates Belichick. So when we kick people's ass and stomp on their dick there is nothing for them to do but bitch and moan like sore losers.
Next Bit Of Terrorist Propoganda; Pats Taped Rams Fluff Practice Before Super Bowl
Bostonherald.com - One night before the Patriots[ team stats] face the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, new allegations have emerged about a Patriots employee taping the Rams’ final walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI. According to a source, a member of the team’s video department filmed the Rams’ final walkthrough before that 2002 game. The next day, the Patriots upset St. Louis, 20-17, on a last-second field goal by Adam Vinatieri for their first championship. A walkthrough involves practicing plays at reduced speed without contact or pads. It is common for teams to film their own walkthroughs and practices. According to a source close to the team during the 2001 season, here’s what happened. On Feb. 2, 2002, one day before the Patriots’ Super Bowl game against heavily favored St. Louis in New Orleans, the Patriots visited the Superdome for their final walkthrough. After completing the walkthrough, they had their team picture taken and the Rams then took the field. According to the source, a member of the team’s video staff stayed behind after attending the team’s walkthrough and filmed St. Louis’ walkthrough. At no point was he asked to identify himself or produce a press pass, the source said. The cameraman rode the media shuttle back to the hotel with news photographers when the Rams walkthrough was completed, the source said. It’s not known what the cameraman did with the tape from there. It’s also not known if he made the recording on his own initiative or if he was instructed to make the recording by someone with the Patriots or anyone else.
This is literally becoming surreal. We have an unnamed source saying the Pats taped the Rams fluff practice? Hmm, who could this unnamed source be? Who could it be, who could it be? Can I take a wild guess and say maybe Matt Walsh? Yeah that same scum bag who is begging to get his five minutes of fame? It seems right up his alley to make a statement like this, but not have the balls to put his name on the quote. It’s Coward 101. Shame on John Tomase for even reporting this gossip. I think he should be fired for this. More importantly who the fuck cares if the Pats taped the Rams fluff practice? Only somebody who hates the Patriots (insert Tom Jackson, Steve Young, Merrill Hodge, the entire country etc) or somebody who has never played football in their entire life (John Tomase) would ever try to insinuate that taping a fluff practice would have any impact on anything. That’s like saying taping the opponents batting practice in baseball helps you win. It’s totally and utterly ridiculous. Not to mention that everybody knew both teams were in the building during this final walk through. I mean the entire Patriot team was getting their picture taken while the Rams were on the field. So I’m pretty sure the Rams weren’t giving away any trade secrets during an open practice. Plus the Rams did virtually the same thing for every game the entire season so who needs to film a fluff practice to figure out what they’re doing? Do people see how nuts this is? The only thing I can equate it to is why other countries hate the United States of America. It’s jealously plain and simple. They hate us because they want to be us. So just like how Al Qaeda makes up lies and spreads propaganda about the US, the rest of the league and country make up lies about the Patriots. Honestly it’s the lowest form of pond scum that there is.
The rest of the country and the National Media should be embracing the Patriots. They stand for everything that is right in sports. They play at a team. They sacrifice for each other. They are smarter than everybody else. They care about winning more than individual accomplishments. And they are on the verge of putting together the greatest season in the history of sports. Is should be a cause for celebration from sea to shining sea. Some would even say if the Pats win tomorrow it should instantly become a National Holiday. That’s what Arlen Specter should be working on. It could be a day when grandfathers can tell their grandkids about the day they saw the greatest team from the greatest franchise complete the greatest season in the history of the world. Yet somehow the rest of the country doesn’t seem to appreciate this fact. Instead they spend their time spewing venom about how much we suck and cheat and blah, blah, blah. My advice would to all the rest of the country would be don’t hate but emulate. Ask us Bostonians for tips on how we dominate the world and maybe we’ll one day your city can be a 10th of as good as we are. But if you continue to just to make excuses as to why we kick your ass in everything from baseball to basketball to football you’ll continue to live in squalor just like the terrorists.
PS – Maybe my favorite part of Spygate is how ex coaches who have won Superbowls like Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells have both said they filmed other teams and that there is NOTHING to this entire fiasco. Yet the media totally ignores them whenever they say this. So basically if the Pats Superbowls are tainted then every Superbowl since the advent of videotape is also tainted.
Who Would You Rather Stab in the Heart More? Matt Walsh or Arlen Specter?
Vs.
There are certain times in my life when I honestly question the sanity of the human race. And the fact that Arlen Specter is trying to involve Congress in Spygate is one of those times. How can anybody with even a shred of intelligence rationalize this as a good use of Government funds? It's flat out mind boggling. Specter claimed that Goodell destroying the Spygate tapes is "analogous to the CIA destruction of tapes,'' Huh? Is he insane? I mean even if the Pats were stealing signs for longer than people think what the fuck does that have to do with Congress? And if it was analogous to the CIA destorying tapes like Specter said then why'd he wait 6 months before opening his fat ass mouth? Normally I don’t like to advocate killing elected officials, but Arlen Specter doesn’t deserve to live. He is literally a threat to National Security. I realize he is still upset that the Pats beat the Eagles in the Superbowl a couple years ago, but give it a rest already. Don’t worry dude, Philly will be back in a couple decades.
Now as far as this Matt Walsh guy goes, did anybody make it through that article on ESPN? He fucking makes Don King look like Straight Arrow Genaro. Matt Walsh of course is the former Pats employee who was fired in 2003 and is now trying to get revenge. So far Walsh has said he may or may not have information regarding Spygate. But he won’t say anything unless ESPN agrees to pay his legal fees if he gets sued for lying. HA! HA! HA! I wish I was making this up but I’m not. I honestly have never read an article in my life where somebody has come across as a bigger scum bag than Matt Walsh. I'm begging all Stoolies to come forward with stories exposing what an asshole this guy is. And I know he is a total asshole
Bottom line is this. The Pats are undefeated. They haven’t used cameras this season. Nobody can beat them. The rest of the world is jealous and this is their attempt to steal the spotlight. It’s no different than when Arod announced he was going to become a free agent during the World Series. Frankly it’s sad and pathetic. But in a way I kind of like it. Because it will make it that much sweeter when we’re hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the 4th time this Sunday and the rest of the country is crying.
Anyway it's time to vote. Who would you rather stab in the heart? Matt Walsh or Arlen Specter? Man this is a tough one. Arlen Specter is clearly more dangerous since he is in a position of power, but at the same time he's just a senile old man. Matt Walsh just seems like the most despicable human being on the planet. Gun to head I think I'd choose to stab him in the heart first.
Vote 1 for Matt Walsh and 10 for Arlen Specter
Walsh. What a clown.
Specter. Just has a certain je ne sais quas that makes me want to kill him.
Matt Walsh is a gold digging, scum of the universe kind of guy. You can tell he saw this weekend as the one point in his life to cash in on a little bit of his fifteen minutes of fame. What a despicable person.
can't it be both?
Arlen Specter by far. What great timing by the jealous asshole. He sent the letters to Goddell months ago and now he wants to make them public? coming from the same guy who creaeted the magic bullet theory? Fuck him I bet he was the shooter on the grass knoll the old fucking prick. What a waste of taxpayers money, the state of Pennsylvania should be embarrassed they elected this guy.
The Patriots cheated and Goodell compromised the integrity of the game by destroying those tapes. What was he covering up? Perception is everything, and that is why the asterisk will always be there. Jealousy has nothing to do with it.
You guys seem awful nervous about Walsh. Guess it's better to have tainted championships than none at all. What a bunch if clowns you all are.
Thanks for dropping by Goulet, things just aren't the same if a conspiracy theorist asshat doesn't use myths and hyperbole to justify his nonsense. Lemme guess, Eagles fan?
it would be halarious if stoolies unloaded stories of matt walsh on here. haha.
goulet take the patriots out of the equation. should tax payer money and time from elected officials be spent discussion any NFL team related on the field activity? get serious.
Walsh gets my vote. Specter is just following job description as a publicity whoring US Senator.
Thousands of kids have died for the benefit of old men and their political and personal gains...an illegal immigrant is granted free health care while my Mother, battling cancer, has to struggle to find coverage until she can get on medicaid...people can't afford to heat their homes, (shit, we're gonna invade a country at least plunder it's greatest natural resource and pass the savings on to a fellow American huh?)and this asshole Specter believes that an NFL team that may or may not have bent the rules is a fucking Congressional priority?!?!?!?!?! what in the flying fuck is going on here?
still I may kill Walsh just because he looks like the whiny bitch that he is.
Goulet!!!, go fuck yourself.
Foolet,
Why don't you drive down to Foxborogh, knock on the office door and really let them know how you feel, pussy.
Duff, you in Ma? I work for a Medicaid Plan and may be of assistance.
I'm pretty sure if the Pats knew every single play coming they'd win their games 8,000 - 0 every week.
I am in MA eastcoastbias...can be reached at lecterzero@yahoo.com
any info or advice would be much appreciated. thank you.
Even joking about killing government officials is treading on thin ice these days, boys. Big brother is watching. Easy . . .
Specter AKA "Mr. Magic Bullet". Why don't you folks in Congress get to work on something a little more important like gas prices, record foreclosures, tax relief or that whole Iraq mess. My tax dollars policing the NFL is buuuuuullllllshit.
All I can say is spencter or Spector or who ever that crying Philly fan bitch is just gave the Gaints less of a chance to win which was zero to begin with. Now, the Pats will hang 50 on them and just embarrass them!
I can see where steriods are against the law and it was hurting the kids but what the fuck does spygate have to do with the government - such bullshit. I'm sure you all saw this just gave Steve Young more bullshit to spew....
Gregg Easterbrook is beating off to a picture of Arlen Specter right now
Great column on this. From Pittsburgh no less:
Herald now has it that the Pats taped the Rams final walkthrough prior to the first championship
specter will change football forever. he will hold a congressional committee and subpoena a lot of coaches, players, staff, etc. he will waste taxpayer $ on this stuff, and try to get gooddell to crack down on it. last time i checked, gooddell does crack down on it when a team gets caught. the patriots didn't break a law. enough already.
Well, turns out that the Patriots video taped the Rams' final walkthrough before the SuperBowl, so it looks like you can put a big, fat asterisk on that "championship" as well. What a dispicable organization you idiots worship.
Goulet=stuff on the floor after his glory hole premier!
True story
A quick zabasearch shows a Matt Walsh at 522 WANAAO RD.,
KAILUA, HI. Home phone number- (808) 261-0359.
Checked it out on Google Earth and it's right next to the golf club he works at. I'm sure someone could do something with that info.
The Pats taped the Rams fluff practice? Are people serious? Has anybody ever been through a fluff practice? Lots to steal there. And by the way what did we have to "steal" from the rams? They did the same exact shit every game
I like to think El Presidente posts stuff like this in a joking manner... but the retAHded message board participants actually eat it up. I'm not so sure, though, I think in the run up to this SB El Prez has been drinking his own Kool-Aid.
1) The Federal Govt spends a lot of money and time on a lot of useless shit, so it's not like Specter is taking time away that would be spent on the "War on Terror" or something.
So with that being said:
2) Tell me how it's wrong for the federal government to investigate whether systematic cheating that could potentially change the outcomes of games is occurring in a professional sport on which American taxpayers wager many millions of dollars every week.
What are the chances that Matt Walsh is actually Goulet? There's a guy who would like a big fat asterisk on the end of his dildo!
friday,
you make a good point...im sure specter is doing this to protect the degenerate gamblers of the world. retard
People are jealous. End of story. They hate us because they want to be us.
So we, as citizens, are just supposed to accept the fact that the gov't wastes time AND money on useless stuff? We should allow them to pick and choose which trivial 'causes' they'd like to champion? There have been many posts over these last two days where people have discussed more important issues that we'd like our government to focus on.
If Sphincter wants to bring to attention the anti-trust issues with regards to the NFL network and Thursday games then that's a different issue.
and 3) The NFL has dealt with the issue many months ago, so tell me how the current season was played out with "systematic cheating" that has had an effect on so many 'american taxpayers'?
So I go to ESPN.com and here's the little headline to the right:
Spygate: More Than Meets The Eye?
The evil syndicate, ESPN, with the help of the Decepticons has turned Spygate into a Transformer even more bumbling than the likes of Rockonatron and Gouleticon, who shoots asterisk laced analbeads out of his anus!
Crying like a bunch of girls because your precious little "dyansty" has been revealed to be nothing but a fraud, like your beloved coach.
Goulet, hahahahahaha You make me laugh, hold on to your straw, we'll hold on to another Lombardi!
In a drunken haze last night as I was watching ESPN someone was being interviewed and basically said that if you're not trying to steal signals your a complete fucking moron. I want to say it was some coach or someone of pretty high stature.
On a side note Brady should bang Specter's and Walsh's wife at the same time while flashing his SB rings to the camera.
LMAO, i usually just check in daily and don't bother to comment but gawd, that post was awesome!!!!!
FUCK EM BOTH, MENG!!!!!!!!
TMR NIGHT............BEATDOWN!!!
Political grandstanding at its worst.
As for the foreclosure 'crisis'? Read your fucking paperwork or make sure a lawyer does it for you. You can't buy a half-mil house on 30K/year. Most of those buyers didn't ask questions, lest the get the answers they don't want to hear.
'they get'
I agree that Congress has more important things to worry about, but I think putting up a blog which (jokingly) suggests stabbing a United States Senator in the heart is not the brightest idea.
Pats are the greatest team ever assembled, but all this stupid cheating stuff makes them look really bad.
Looks like I commented too late. Smart taking it down, Prez.
rearadmiral, thank you for that. Why is a teacher's assistant who can't afford the roughly $3000 monthly payments buying that house? There were no checks into her income status? And I love how she said that "the taxpayers are gonna pay for this." Fuck you. No I'm not.
Oh, and Arlen Specter is a joke. This country's a fucking mess and this guy wants to investigate the NFL? They should throw his ass in jail.
What really kills me about all these douchebags bitching about the Pats is that they seem to be forgetting one thing...It's the the players that still have to go out and execute the fuckin plays.
Arlen Specter, our country is on the verge of a recession you dumb arrogant fool. First things first buddy.
Well at least our politicians decided to send us all a little check. 9 trillion in debt and giveing us a little walking around money. It's like taking out a cash advance on your mastercard to pay your amex bill. STUPID.
how much do you think goodell/other nfl coaches absolutely hate mangini now?
look at how ridiculous this thing got thanks to the media and jealous haters
supposedly teams coaches are waving to the pats video guy on some of the tapes...but hey..no one knew about it or did it themselves
only the evil,classless, disrespectful patriots
i can't wait for number 4 tommorow
Shooter, don't you mean number 4*?
man goulet you sure are clever
do you really think i care that some loser who wants to start shit on a boston message board thinks the pats titles are tainted?
give me a break...only matters what i think/remember about them
Funny that the Rams were also likely spying on the Pats before the 02 SB...

I'm guessing this won't get much attention since it isn't the Pats doing it.

Damn, a dead even 5.5 after 635 votes. Them's a couple of wastes of oxygen right there.
The Pats know how to win like the best of them: Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco etc
This will be known as the UNDEFEATED* season
(In my best/worst Eddie Murphy)
Ha Ha Ha it's just so ridiculous!
Justanherb, did you come up with that one on your own?
5.5 would be spector genius, 5 would be dead even. F'n brilliant
Justanherb, I fucked your mom. I put my strick in her ass.
Scooter, hate to call you out on the math, but 5.5 is even because you don't vote 0 for Walsh, you vote 1. Therefor, (1+10)/2=5.5
I went to North adams state college, stuff like this can only be expected from time to time. I do wish I wasn't so adamant about it, though. Nice call George, touche'
Typical STATEr...

Yeah. I fucked up by not checking shit out. Now I wan't a taxpayer-funded bailout because my mortagage douche didn't fill me in. Morons getting in over their head becomes a 'crisis'...Is Canada still open?
I killed a guy with a trident, I stabbed a man in the heart.
I say it should be Walsh. Specter can be dealt with by simply voting him out of office, the stupid gasbag.
Just a quick little piece of information that I think everyone might find interesting. All of this hub bub brought up by Spector comes on the heals of the FCC's decision to bring the NFL and Comcast to arbitration in regards to the NFL network, possibly costing Comcast a fair amount of scratch. Why does that matter you ask? Well Comcast's PAC (political action commitee) was Spector's second largest financial contributor for his last election.
I have known Matt Walsh personally - he married someone that I was friends with....no longer friends with her partly because once she met Matt she became an even bigger liar than she was before - his influence. He is abusive to his wife if that is any indication of the type of person he is Matt is one of the worst people I have ever met in my life - he doesnt know what truth is and he always looks out for himself. When he was fired from the Patriots he told all of us he quit. I always knew it was a lie because he was collecting unemployment...so the patriots must not have given him any kind of package when the fired him. Right before he got married he was emailing some stripper about how he wants to rub up against her and he was so stupid that he copied everyone in his address book including his soon to be wifes family and friends. He said that his email account was stolen by someone and that is who emailed the stripper. Hopefully all his lies will catch up with him this time

Take down Walsh, he's got longer to live.
