It was ridiculous to let the clock run out after Vinatieri's kick, though. I believe the NFL has since established a rule that only five seconds can run off on a field goal attempt.
Did Spygate help? Maybe. We can't say for sure.
But, all things considered, the Patriots needed to pull off a lot more than some friendly officials could have given them.
How about the AFC Championship game against Pittsburgh, when Drew Bledsoe was called in to save the season for the Pats? I don’t see how any officiating gifts could have helped that situation (only if we find out down the road that Kordell Stewart was paid off to throw some of the worst passes in NFL history).
The Pats earned their stripes in 2001-02, regardless of the fortunate bounces that went their way.
4) Tiger Woods is sitting out the 2008 season to avoid being tested positive for steroids.
The Theory: Tiger has been taking steroids to bulk up over the past few years, and is faking his ACL injury to avoid being tested positive by the PGA.
