No, but if you didn't earn the trophy then why would you want it?

I mean I hope to make a living with my writing some day so I will be doing it for money, but I wouldn't want to win an award for my writing if I had to pay people off to get the award. Even if it did cause my books to sell better, having the award sitting on my shelf would just be a painful reminder that I was not good enough to get the award in an honest competition. So I really don't see the point, sorry.

Well their owner is friends withe highest official in the NFL, also they are like the Yankees of Football, they are the team who is the face of the league to the world at large, they are supposed to be the best team according to the league and broadcasters. Let me put it this way, the team and the coach have been caught cheating many times and nothing meaningful has been done to them, this is from the same league that was quick to fine players from other teams for offensive gestures that have no impact on the outcome of the game, so the lack of response on the part of the league can not be due to them thinking the cheating had no impact on the game. Also if it had no impact then why did the Patriots do it in the first place? The lack of response on the part of the NFL can not be fore lack of proof since in at least one case no one saw the offensive gesture. So the only logical conclusion is that the NFL is allowing the Patriots to cheat because the people at the top want them to win and they know that in a fair contest they can not win. That is the simplest answer that explains both the cheating and the NFL's lack of response to it.

Now since that is happening that the contest and the victories have no meaning. This combines with the fact that the game is feeling slower and slower to me every year, has killed my interest in NFL football.

I'm sorry but this is as clear as I can make my feelings on the matter now, so I think I will just leave it at that since I have said all I have to say.
