There is no question in my mind that Rodger Goodell is praying that the Seahawks win the Super Bowl over the Patriots.In fact he may be doing more than just praying.
Certainly Goodell does not want to be handing the Lombardi Trophy to a team that is in the throes of a cheating scandal. Bad for the image after all.

For that reason I'll be rooting for the Patriots to win.
I want to watch Roger Goodell squirm!

Or will the NFL cheat to prevent such a scene?

The NFL is a compilation of the best 1,696 football player athletes in the entire world out of nearly seven billion people. The football air pressure for Punting and Kicking, I can see the hoopla about. But for there to be this much discussion about a few pounds of air pressure for the offense I feel is hooey and shows how petty and boring and lazy our media outlets have become.

The Patriots have defied the odds with maintaining a championship caliber team for a long sustained time while going to the super bowl five times (now six). If they are not your team, you are most likely going to hate them because they WIN so what do you do? You find any thin thread and make a fat rope out of it to discredit their success.

I've always said I only root for the Packers, but if the Seahawks lose this game, I will smile because of how many people it will piss off that the Patriots won.

If the Packers employed the similar STEP ON YOUR THROAT mentality that the Patriots have shown, I believe they'd have two more super bowl victories in their pocket.

I would disagree, the NFL is going to want to see the pats win in a game where they go out of their way to ensure there is nothing that can be said. Well they cheated to win.

Seahawks really don't belong there, but look for them to get some calls. Hopefully Brady can overcome the officiating AND the Seahawks. Robert Kraft has pull.

As I said in another thread, if you do anything against the rules to gain an advantage, it's cheating.
If it didn't matter, then why is there a rule in the first place?
I don't like the Patriots because they cheat.
They have done it before, they did it now, and will do it again.
As long as the NFL just keeps slapping their wrists, it will keep happening.
I don't care either way who wins the SB now. If GB isn't in it, I don't care.

Roger, by some accounts, is getting pretty testy as the big game gets closer.
Perhaps he is starting to squirm over the thoughts of handing the trophy to Belicheck already.
Hopefully the Pats can really turn up the heat tomorrow night.
