It it ain't bitter, it ain't NY

Had trouble posting a picture of it here, but the NY Post is apparently running the NFL standings with an asterisk next to the New England Patriots. At the bottom of the division it indicates that the asterisk means the Patriots were caught cheating.

It’s very clever and funny. But you know it's also a bit of whining, too. There’s real bitterness there.

Bitterness that Parcells left NY and turned up in New England. Bitterness that even though Parcells came back to New York—and in such a delicious way, sticking it to New England—he never really lived up to the hype before leaving again. Bitterness that Belichick left the NYJ and went to New England…and won three Super Bowls there. Bitterness that their candidate for Tom Brady has turned into Brad Johnson. Bitterness that the next generation of the Parcells-Belichick tree came to the NYJ as a Mangenius, but turned out to be a rat-fink with an 0-2 record.

So yeah, it’s funny. But considering the source, it’s funny to me on more than one level.
