Add Asterisk To Patriots Super Bowl Titles
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25349888/nfl-fan-starts-project-to-add-asterisk-to-patriots-super-bowl-titles
For some NFL fans, the Patriots will always be known as the team that only won because they cheated.
First, there was Spygate, then Deflategate -- and former Rams running back Marshall Faulk is still convinced that New England filmed a St. Louis walkthrough practice before the Patriots upset the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.
NFL fan Jim Purucker has decided that he wants to make sure that no one ever forgets that the Patriots are cheaters, so he has decided he wants to petition the NFL to put an asterisk next to each of their four titles in the NFL record book.
"What we'd like to do is have a nationwide, grassroots petition effort that petitions the NFL to put an asterisk in the record book," Purucker told WISH-TV in Indianapolis. "I don't think this thing ought to go away and 10 years from now when people look at the record book and see this fantastic set of accomplishments that the Patriots have amassed, I think there ought to be an asterisk next to it."
Purucker has set up a website as part of his "Asterisk Project." The plan is to get 10 million people to sign a petition calling for the asterisks. Purucker thinks if he can get that many people to sign that the NFL might consider it.
Not surprisingly, Purucker's website is called FootballCheaters.com.
