quote:

The Patriots’ Super Bowl XXXVI victory over the Rams was 17 years ago. The Boston Herald‘s bombshell report that the Patriots filmed the Rams’ final walk-through practice before that Super Bowl was 11 years ago. And the Herald’s apology and acknowledgement that “we now know that this report was false” was 10 and a half years ago. But some Rams still believe the team was cheated.

And that even includes some Rams who weren’t part of that team. Dick Vermeil, who retired from the Rams two years before that Super Bowl, and Eric Dickerson, who was traded away from the Rams 15 years before that Super Bowl, are among those calling the Patriots cheaters today.

Vermeil said he’s rooting for the Chiefs to beat the Patriots on Sunday because “They’ve done it the right way. They haven’t been accused of cheating.”

Vermeil didn’t explicitly say he was referring to the Super Bowl against the Rams (he may have been referring to Spygate and/or Deflategate), but Dickerson made no secret that he still believes the long-debunked accusation about filming the Rams before the Super Bowl.

“We want a rematch in L.A.,” Dickerson said on FS1. “We want them back again, because they cheated us. They know they cheated us back in New Orleans. They watched our film.”

More than a decade after the Boston Herald‘s correction, that story is apparently never going away.

Yes Texas A&M
Thing is it wasn’t that group Dickerson, James, Mcilheney, Carter that got them on probation. It was the Dupard group. But when you have the Governor involved may as well go big.

A high school kid getting a car to go to one college over others isn’t really cheating in the same sense that the Patriots were accused of

Simmons pointed out how weird it is that Dickerson is treated like the all-time Ram now. He bitched his way out of LA because he wanted to get paid more. The team went to shite becuse of it and the coach made him inactive until he was gone. It's basically like if Le'veon becomes Mr. Steeler in 30 years.

He held out pretty much every year but the year he was traded was the strike year in 87, he was traded after the strike was over and the Rams absolutely cleaned up. LINK

They did do better after the trade winning 5 of last 7 finished 87 6-9 and made the playoffs were 10-6 in 88 and in the NFCCG in 89.

Dickerson was a superstar with the Rams, not surprising fans in LA still like him

ED makes Shannon Sharpe appear intelligent and that’s saying A LOT, it’s clear he was pampered a ton at SMU (they took care of all those players back in the 80s) and it carried over to the pros to the point he burned bridges with two franchises, phenomenal running back though but ABYSMAL fumbler, Big-time diva

It is kind of refreshing to see someone be openly honest all the time, even if he’s a total dope like Dickerson. He was openly rooting against Lewis and Peterson when they were threatening his single season rushing record

Of course they are cheaters, why do you think they burned the tapes?
