Dear Non-New England Patriots Fans; Really?

Really?

I find it amusing when the fans of other teams

Think there's a conspiracy because New England creams

Almost every football franchise that we have to play.

"NFL has rigged the game," the latest losers say.

Is there really anybody who believes Goodell

Doesn't think New England's why his ratings went to hell?

It's not 'cause the players took a stand and took a knee,

Not because the fans are worried about CTE.

Ratings fell because New England almost always wins;

Patriots are favored before training camp begins.

When a team's as dominant as we are it's no fun

For the fans whose teams are not on this amazing run.

If we don't get penalized as much as others do

Could it be because we are more disciplined than you?

I'd think - were there bias from officiating crews -

They, like you and Roger, would prefer to see us lose.

The New England Patriots are #NotDone

 

I'm aware I won't convince the fans of other teams

That they shouldn't mind it when New England's crushed their dreams.

If I'm being honest, I suppose I'd feel the same...

But, you must admit, the Pats deliver quite a game.

With Tom Brady on the field the outcome's not in doubt.

Even when the team is down, you never count them out.

You all get exciting football.  We just get the win.

Oh, no! Did I just commit the sports gods' cardinal sin?

I don't want to taunt nor gloat lest they they exact a toll;

Have to mind my Ps and Qs before the Super Bowl.

We're not done...  The Eagles wait and then, I guess, we'll see.

But you'll get outstanding football...  That, I guarantee.

The Patriots - "Say It Ain't So, Joe"

 

What's an old New England fan like me supposed to do

Learning accusations made against the Pats are true?

We used footballs that were not the legal PSI.

Hoped it was an accident but now I wanna cry.

Didn't change the outcome of the game; the best team won

But, 'though other quarterbacks admit it's often done,

This makes us look dirty...  And for what? A needless ploy.

It has made this Super Bowl much harder to enjoy.

Scandals haunt Bill Belichick; they're calling him a cheat.

(No one but a Pats fan loves a coach who won't be beat.)

Even if we crush Seattle, Belichick can't win.

He will only be remembered for another sin.

I don't think Head Coaches check the balls; it's not their job

But, because he's arrogant and rude (and he's a slob)

There are calls to fire Belichick...  That's really dumb.

Bill has won so many rings he wears them on his thumb.

I believe the Patriots will win with any ball;

It's our year and, although pride goeth before the fall,

Knowing that our reputation's underneath this cloud

Means I needn't worry that I'm gonna feel too proud.
