Patriots, too. If they had simply not cheated and tried their best, both teams probably would've still been really good--maybe great--and even Dolphins/A's fan me would've had to concede that point. However, as it is, both teams and their alleged accomplishments get zero credence from me. That's no skin off their nose, I understand--they're winners and don't care what losers like me think. But it's definitely a shame for me. The Astros and Patriots leave all kinds of eraser smudges and asterisks all over my personal history of sports.<br /><br />The good news for me now, though, is that I'll watch the World Series. I hope it's the Dodgers against the Rays, and, if it is, I'll pull for your Dodgers.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-34449328781661688312020-10-18T09:34:27.188-04:002020-10-18T09:34:27.188-04:00Go, Dodgers.
