The Patriots Are Definitely, Definitely Not Cheaters

Obviously everyone else in the NFL does this too, though, that's why you can't pick up a newspaper without reading about Jeff Saturday doing a line off a dead hooker.

You mean someone playing a heavy contact sport that can result in chronic pain is taking pain pills?

Rodney Harrison thinks Kaczur is a bitch. Real men use HGH.

10 pills a day?

I hate the Patriots almost as much as I love Jeff Saturday, but I don't really think we can hold too much of this against them. It's not like Nick Kazcur and Matt Lyght are smoking crack with hookers in hotel rooms. Well, at least, not that we know about.

You'd be surprised at the tolerance you can build up over time.

Even if they were, how is that cheating?

[Sean of the Thread]

Rofl @ this crap. Those people deal with pain using alllll sorts of meds and shots. Ever see Jerome Bettis walk 10 feet?


And where did you see 10 pills a day? What was the dosage? How were they ingested?

I'm on the lowest dosage of oxycodone and it doesn't do shit to me (5mg). In fact I'm calling tomorrow to ask for a higher dosage.

[Methais]

I still want to know how taking pain pills = cheating at football.

How about next season you make one team play while all doped on on Oxys, and have the other team play sober and see who wins.

[Latrinsorm]

And where did you see 10 pills a day?100 pills a buy * 3 buys = 300 pills over 1 month (May) = 300 pills over 31 days = 9.677 ~= 10 pills a day. :)
Even if they were, how is that cheating?Breaking the rules = cheating.

[Methais]

Giving yourself an unfair advantage over the other team by violating rules = cheating.

Taking steroids = cheating

Eating pain pills for pain relief =/= cheating.

Like I said earlier, next season let one team play while all doped up on pain pills and let the other team play sober and see who wins. If the team that's all doped up wins, then you can call it cheating. Reality indicates that they'd get slaughtered.

You can call it breaking the rules or whatever, but that doesn't mean it's cheating.

And yes I'm aware that one of the definitions of cheating on dictionary.com is 5. to violate rules or regulations: He cheats at cards., but I really don't think it's that black and white in this situation.

When you were a kid and one of the rules was to keep your room clean, did your mom call you a cheater when your room was messy? Probably not.

Further, a player doesn't have to take pain pills directly before a game for them to provide a positive effect: he can just as easily take them throughout the week and not be "dopey" for the game.

Favre also cheated, but the difference is Favre owned up to it. He didn't hide behind excuses. He also has a HUGE penis.
