I am not saying the superbowl didn't matter.  I am not saying it is better to lose the sb than to win it.  But what I am saying is that the Patriots had a better season than 30 other teams.  A season that on 18 weeks brought me joy and fun.  A season in which I go to see them win more times then I ever got to see them win before, a season where I got celebrate tons of records being broken.  A season that all in all was really really great.  A season that i feel ought be celebrated by Pats fans and the team, not morned.  1990 was a season to forget, this one was not.

Hoodie how can a season filled with asterisks and cheating be something worth celebrating? Final point the 18 wins mean nothing without the SB ring, who is going to care in a few years besides Patriot fans? Maybe someday you will see this on jepordy or Trivia persuit.

'72 - The Perfect Season

It doesn't bother me if the Pats get rings for an undefeated regular season, but for the ring to say "16 - 0, Perfect Season" seems pretty lame.  The season is made up of all the games that count.  This would be the regular season and the post season.  The Pats didn't have a perfect season.

One question I have - was this a ring in addition to the AFC Championship ring?  Again, it's no skin off my nose; but do players really want a second ring that has no real meaning?

^^^ my understanding is that these are the AFC Championship rings.  I know that each team designs their own sb rings, and I assume it is the same case with the championship ring. 

If I was designing I don't think I would include the words "perfect season" but i definitely would have the 16-0 regular season record on the ring.

I don't disagree.  16-0 is a pretty amazing thing.  In this day and age people talk about how hard it is to sweep your divisional games, much less sweep the regular season.

My entire beef begins and ends with the "perfect" talk.  The season wasn't perfect.  But I don't contest celebrating the 16-0 mark what so ever.

Weren't they busted for cheating week 1 AND for games before last season? Why would they still cheat during the season with a magnifying glass on them after Mangini outed them last year?

The better question is - why would they STOP cheating?  They just have to find better ways to hide it.
