Guh-rosssss.   Kidding, congrats on a heck of a season fellas!

Michigan and Washington played a game last?  Who knew .  Like I said in the college football thread this was a stinker ending for me.  Michigan coached by just about anyone but Cheater Harbaugh is hard enough but it pales in comparison to having spent 30 years in Seattle listening to UW fans .  So, I'll hold my nose and say congratulations to the Michigan fans... you are this seasons National Champions with an asterik .

That would have been a war. wasn’t ready for Georgia in ‘21, but it’s a different Michigan team this year.

Congratulations on also being the last team to ever beat Nick Saban.

That’s wild, isn’t it? Saban, Belichek, and Pete Carroll all gone in two days. Couldn’t have seen that coming like that.

A godfather-esque ending to 3 storied coaching careers was definitely not on my bingo card for the year.  Kind of saw Belichick coming, but the other two.  Not so much.

Michigan vs everybody.

…is there an asterisk next to Tom Brady’s name, or do we all just see him as a 7 time Super Bowl champ. 
 

undefeated season, beat Ohio state without harbaugh, beat bama, national champions. But everyone is crying over a sign stealing allegation. Washington and Alabama are in different conferences, and rarely play Michigan, so doubtful any sign stealing was involved there. And it’s ok to review game tapes, but you can’t go and watch live and record yourself. You can even review video during halftime of that game. But no you can’t go and watch another team play live. Makes sense.

Huge asterisk next to his name in the NFL, will never be the Goat. Not a Michigan fan but what he did in college was fine. 

We know for a fact New England cheated to win the Rams, Panthers, and Eagles Super Bowls.

Deflate-gate, more cheating, was 2014 against Seattle, so his first four rings don't count.

I can't find anything suspect in the wins over Atlanta and Los Angeles. When he went to Tampa, the refs penalized the crap out of KC in that bowl.

But Belicheck was found to still be recording other teams practices in 2019, so he never stopped. Zero NFL legacy for either.

Here's a crying towel for the Michigan fans. They will need it next year.

+1.  When teams records/wins are shrouded in accusations of cheating or underhanded tactics, I always hang an asterik on them.  I'd do the same were it the best team ever...speaking of which .

Let's see, Spygate... They filmed from the wrong spots. That was the issue. Not that they were filming, but where they filmed from. Oh, and Bill Cowher admitted a lot of other teams did it too. Even Eric Mangini who started the whole investigation regrets it.

Deflategate didn't happen during the Super Bowl. It was the game before. In a game they won 43-22 mostly running the ball and scoring rushing TDs, so an under-inflated ball basically meant nothing. Not to mention the under-inflation measured could easily be explained by high school level science. Also, Aaron Rodgers came out and admitted to having his balls over-inflated. No one cared about that though. Deflategate was the biggest crock the NFL has ever put out. Even independent organizations have come out to blast how flawed the Wells report was.

The TB-KC SB was a blowout. Had the refs called a few less penalties, the result would not have changed measurably. The biggest difference in that game was KC having a patchwork O-Line and Mahomes having to run for his life on almost every snap. Also his receivers couldn't catch a ball.
