It was interesting and clarified some things I wasn't aware of - I had simply assumed that the signals they were trying to intercept were offensive, for instance, because as a casual watcher the defensive role seemed more reactive. In the overall, it would be nice to see the two teams just play the [censored] game on the field, without the rediculous James Bond sideline games (the idea that so many coaches seem to operate under an assumption that there could be a lip reader with binoculars and a headset to the opposing coach out there and they should cover their mouth while calling plays just in case is totally surreal and annoying to me.) Going the extra mile and breaking the explicit rules to do it is that much more disapointing, and I can see your point about it tainting the season for them. (Though not to the extent that some folks felt Barry Bonds' home run record was tainted by steroid use - the actual effect of the violation is just so much more ambiguous.) While I am simply not the type to be a sports fan, I tend to have more tolerance for the Hubby's fanhood when I feel that a team has more going for them then the ability to score points.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> My Fan of None perspective is that it would still appeal to my sense of "streaks and improbable outcomes are fun" to see the Pats go all the way, but the "mocking foaming Pats haters" enjoyment may go down. And the "being happy that the Hubby is happy" aspect can be fulfilled by the Packers as well.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
