Aaron Hernandez and the 10 Biggest Scandals in Patriots History Barstool Sports: Boston

I’m not one to pour gasoline on the fires of Pats controversies, but this was too entertaining of a read from FoPP’er Jerry Thornton not to share.

Some of my favorite, lesser-known, “we have to find something to bitch about” scandals of the 00’s:

2001 – Patriots taped the Rams Walk Thru Gate (just kidding they didn’t, but that didn’t stop the Herald from running the story before Super Bowl 42, and there’s still a legion of ignorami who still think it’s true)

2006 – Tom Brady Body Language Gate

2007 – Running Up The Score Gate (multiple)

2010 – Hey, Tom Brady pumped the Jets sideline during the 45-3 game and that wasn’t nice-gate.

What else am I missing?

“I always felt like that chapter was closed when I left there,” Seymour said. “I’ve always been grateful for the time I spent there, and we had a great time together. I thought it worked well for both sides, but I kind of moved on from there.” And, as Seymour noted, the Patriots “moved on as well.” “I don’t think that will be anything that we see in the future,” Seymour said of a second stint with the club that drafted him in 2001.

Not that there was any doubt about this, but yeah…

Still remains one of the most shocking moments of my Patriots fandom, remember clearly sitting in a diner for breakfast and seeing the news break on twitter. Unfortunately the Raiders didn’t quite stink as much as us Patriots fans hoped they would’ve in 2010, though the Pats did get Nate Solder out of it, so in hindsight, probably a pretty good deal. Would the 2009 Pats have done something with Seymour in the mix? Probably not, especially without Welker in the playoffs and no threat outside of a declining Randy Moss.

Here’s a good look back at the trade.
