The cheats greatness could not possible be contained on one channel.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who had urged cable and NFL executives to settle the dispute, had a much more positive reaction to the league's announcement.

"I couldn't be more thrilled that as the Patriots rush toward an historic undefeated season, football fans everywhere have won a victory of their own," Kerry said. "With today's announcement, the NFL showed their loyalty to the sports fans who made the NFL an empire in the first place.

"The best news of all is that now no die-hard Pats fans will be shut out from watching their team take aim at football history," Kerry said in a statement.

Is he nuts? Outside of Pats and Giants fans - who the fook cares?

Maybe this will all backfire in the Cheatsies faces. The Giants want to look good, I'm sure, in front of a worldwide audience.

As I said in another thread, I'd rather have oral surgery without any anesthetic than watch one single nanosecond of a Pats game. Other than the Steelers, I have not watched any of their games since they played the Colts, and will not be watching on Saturday night, any of their playoff games or the Super Bowl if they make it. Screw them. I hope their ratings tank.

Thank God the Pens are playing the Sabres on Saturday night, so I'll have something to watch. I'll even tune into the Penn State game afterward, even though I can't stand them either. Still preferable to watching the NFL's butt buddies.

Maybe the Giants will come up big and the whole nation will be fortunate to see the Pats lose on Saturday night.

Of course, I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

But lawmakers have pressured the NFL to ensure more viewers could see the game. Last week, two prominent members of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Goodell threatening to reconsider the league's antitrust exemption.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who co-wrote the letter with Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he was "delighted" by the NFL's concession.

"I think it was a smart move on their part," he said in a phone interview.

Nice to see Congress so hard at work on the most important issues to us all. Jackasses.

I hope fans outside the Northeastern U.S don't watch just to spite them. F Boston and F the Cheatriots. If there is a God, those pricks don't sniff the Super Bowl and someone, ANYONE. Knocks them off in the playoffs.

I just read ths today in a my paper and almost wanted me to burn it in a fire. This is horrible.

No kidding.... nice to see our tax dollars are spent to assure that the lousy cheating Patsies can be seen by all of their 'fans' ---- since they've all of the sudden got a following over the last 5 years.....

And who the hell cares about a 16 game tainted winning record? If those a-holes weren't caught red handed cheating it MIGHT be different ... although, I'd still not like the Pats, at least there wouldn't be a need to put a big asterisk next to their record...

Freakin' ridiculous....
