Funny you should bring up Richard's name. The King cheated too. Ran an engine 30ci bigger than legal, got caught.
I can't believe a mad Raiders fan is railing against cheating in the NFL. The Raiders INVENTED cheating!! Check your Websters, you'll see a Raiders illegal plaster cast pic next to the word!!
it was "NOT" in reference to King Richard it was merely "petty" {small & insignificant}
minor rule infractions...LOL
yep in one of my posts here I wrote
There's a sign over the
Raiders locker room exit door {or use to be}
Rule #1 cheat when ever possible...
Rule #2 refer to rule #1 when in doubt...
not that they actually did...LOL
That's what they expect, then give it to them...
Raiders of old were constantly accused of cheating,
but never "actually" found guilty too, of anything significant anyway...
Patriots have been cheating for over a decade now, well documented cases,
some well known & maybe some not so well known,
had some very obscure rules go their way several times, in key games,
cleaning snow off the field for a kicker, the tuck rule {fumble}...LOL
it maybe some "petty" crap, none the less,
it's still cheating, it's against the rules !!
I SAY
"Embrace the bully mentality & your fierce or winning reputation,
but don't cheat, then when you do, don't lie & hide from it", weasel out of it...
Like the Patriots are now doing again...LOL
Jack Tatum, George Atkinson, Ted Hendricks, Lyle Alzado, Matt Millen & John Mituzack {spelling?}
would all be great examples of playing hard & tough, but that isn't cheating !!...
Playing hard to the whistle, isn't cheating !!,
kicking someone's a$$, up & down the field, isn't cheating !!,
it maybe dirty football, by some other's standards, but it isn't cheating !!
In the AFC, the Steelers {especially}, Browns, Buffalo, Houston, Jets, Colts, Seattle, KC & Denver
"were" the same way, it was a different era...
BUT that was a different time & a much different culture in the NFL too,
what they did then "is" against the rule now, we have a much gentler & softer NFL today...
But flagrant rules breaking {especially over a decade or more now} is cheating,
no matter how "petty"...
that's not in reference to the King either,
even the best stretch the rules...LOL
{Have I ever said how much I dislike/dispise Tom Brady & Bilacheat or the Patriots ??}
I love have fun with this "subject", something better than politics, to talk about...
It's all in fun too...
