"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."

- Edmund Burke

And so I ask you, good men of the world, to not stand idly by while evil prevails. A great injustice has been foisted upon the public, and if good men do not act, evil men will succeed with evil deeds, and we will all suffer.

So please, take action now, and sign this petition demanding that the NFL investigate the final 100 seconds of Super Bowl XLII (via Kissing Suzy Kolber), where the noble and good New England Patriots were screwed over by the vile NFL.

I have a tiny shred of a belief that humanity is not so far gone that any group of people out there could believe that the Patriots actually deserved to win Super Bowl XLII.

Maybe I'm just thick here, but... what exactly is their issue with the clock stoppage after the Jacobs first-down?

[Geechee843]

seems like this is the bandwagon arguement lately. makes no sense. if it was true then eli's game winning td pass woulda came at about 0:10 instead of 0:38. so wats the big deal? that meant teh game woulda ended when brady was sacked on the patriots 2&10.

I'm really thick because after I read the first 10 lines I got a major headache and quit reading it.
If you were able to read it and understand it that well then most certainly my hat is off to you.

I've had my say on the Pats... the superbowl is over, therefor I find this subject over.

Cheers to you "Q". The game ended a week ago. Analyzing this over and over and over is as fruitful as trying to make 1 + 1 = 3.

Gentlemen ... start your engines !!

Yeah, you're right. I just find myself trying to decipher what they're trying to say. Bottom line is, nothing will change, so just move on.

Come on guys, for some of us football season is never over. We love rehashing it over and over. We dont care but we love rehashing it. Give us a break.

Got it. I found the answer. What these fans didnt realize was it was an administrative stop. The referees were going to spot the ball and under NFL rules the clock is stopped then.

Ah, okay, good work, Bette. So basically this argument's just their misunderstanding anyway, not any rules problem.

Come on now Azrael, you've been sneaking around the hallowed hall of the NASCAR Forum. We've seen you there. We'll convert you to a knowledgeable fan soon.

I'm ready for some baseball myself. Go RED SOX !!!

I used to be a Reds fan back in the Paul O'Neil era.

I have been trying to learn. I lurk around the NASCAR forum,and I have friends at work that are big fans. They got me in their fantasy league, and now my 5 yr old son loves racing. He likes Tony Stewart's car, so I guess that makes him our favorite driver.
