The NFL doing it on purpose was never my point or even what i said. I said the Pats probably got more sympathetic calls regardless of whether the ref was doing it on purpose or not.

As for the name um PATRIOTS. Sorry but you lost me at how any other team could come across as being more patriotic than a team named after the american patriots.
