accusations? more like proof and admissions.
bit of a deviation between the two teams there.
The Patriots of the NFL remind me of the Spurs of the NBA.
Both teams win championships with class, great coaching, and under-appreciated,quiet but efficient leaders (Brady and Duncan).
Both are stand-up good guys who were accused of being boring because they win without flash and fanfare.
Then Robert Horry's hipcheck of Steve Nash made other fans HATE the Spurs! Tim Duncan and the Spurs handled it with class.
Accusations of cheating caused many to HATE the Patriots. Tom Brady and the Patriots handled it with class.
The Spurs went on to win a championship.
The Patriots will probably do the same.
The Patriots and Spurs are like mirror-images of each other. Both are great champions.
Brady/Duncan reminds me a lot of Woods/Federer.....the best in their respective sports. Woods and Federer developed a friendship because of it. I wonder if Brady or Duncan ever recognizes their similarity?

It's just that I see such similarities. Many fans said the Spurs were "dirty". Many call the Patriots "cheaters". We know the Spurs aren't dirty, but you cannot convince a Suns fan of that fact. Maybe the Patriots are cheaters, but in Patriot fans minds, you couldn't convince them of it whether it is fact or not. We defend the Spurs (rightly so), Patriot fan's will defend their team (rightly or wrongly), but there are similarities between the two situations. Spurs image was tarnished due to the hipcheck and the Donaghy crap and the Patriots image is tarnished due to the alleged cheating, but both organizations are too good to let it stop them from winning championships.
also, the thread is not gay. It is a heterosexual thread.
Yeah both teams are a bunch of cheaters MFs
Champions!
ignore him.
The patriots were caught cheating.
Any fan saying that their team doesn't or wouldn't do that, or doesn't STILL d it, is a hypocrit.
.
Patriots = gay. Spurs = win. That about sums it up.
Both teams cheat to win so yeah...
Spurs=Patriots
pats have no class now
spurs have class
Horry did not make suns break the nba rules
horry did not even make them
horry also did not know amare and diaw would be both idiots and break the rules
Shut up racist!
Yeah...Everyone knows it, the entire NBA fanbase know it!
Patriots are ing legit.
I am not a racist
I know border patrol people that gotten killed because of illegal alliens shooting at them
and they can not shoot back
cheating makes things legit
if you are a quartback and know what d is being played any quarterback would look good
this pats team is talanted aother pats teams were not as good
no wonder brady stats are what they are
Well, I can't knock on the Pats. When I compete in anything, I abide, without remorse, by two of my favorite saying:
"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'." and "It's only 'cheating' if you get caught."
I don't think the Spurs cheat, so that aspect of the Spurs/Patriots comparison doesn't work, but I do think they are two very, very similar teams, and one aspect alone should not be enough to throw out the debate. Brady/Moss = Parker/Duncan ?
The two teams have been compared in the media for a few years now.
They are similar in the way the organizations run, in the "team" at ude, in their approach to winning. And in the fact that both teams have won a lot in these last few years. Duncan and Brady have been viewed as similar in their leadership qualities, both being "lead by example" kinds of guys.
Brady messed up with fathering a child with a woman he's no longer with and now the Patriots have been fined for cheating.
I feel that ends the comparison. The Spurs have taken over the top spot by themselves as the organization that is a model for success.
^X 10,000,000
Brady is nothing like Duncan.
We Spurs fans were put in a position of having to defend our team after the media blitz following the Horry/Nash incident.
Patriot fans are put in a position to defend their team after the cheating incident.
That's the similarity I'm talking about. Fans will defend their team no matter what. Spurs are definitely NOT dirty, Patriots may be cheaters, but the fans are in the same boat.
and its starting to look like the chargers = suns, lots of hype, talent, media, and whining, but no rings
oh for shame
so Pats= Spurs
Suns = Chargers
that leaves.........Colts = Mavs
Where's that in championship ?
I dont think at all the spurs image was tarnished by what happened with the hipcheck, the suspensions that followed and even the Donaghy incident. The spurs were never accused of having this ref cheat for them. Also it's not Robert Horry's fault that the suns left the bench. I dont think you can compare the two situations.
