Haha funny stuff... i love though how the rest of the leageu is outraged. Sports are based on getting the upper hand. Look at baseball where they try to steal signs all the time. Same thing with basketball where they try to steal plays. Im not condoning what the pats did, they overstepped the boundaries by actually taping the jets sidelines and got what they deserved (im a pats fan and can admit it), but come on the rest of the league is not a bunch of saints and im sure Mangini knew of it when he was with the Pats. I just laugh though when people try to dis-credit the patriots success over recent years and this year due to a video taping incident.

thats what happens when something is uncovered like that. they start to question what happened in the past...its just common nature. the whole gambling ref thing in basketball, they are going back like 5 years to see if he delibratly missed calls and what not. its to be expected that all the success that the Pats have had over the past years is gonna be under a microscope now. im in philly and its been all over the news here because of the Eagles/Pats superbowl 2 years ago. am i pissed off about the possibility that they were cheating than??? no, we lost by 3 points...i dont think it matters....not that it would change anything if they were, Pats have the superbowl rings and we have the NFC champ rings.

I understand the sentiments and the patriots took a known "illegal" aspect of the game to new levels, but still the players make the plays. I couldnt believe what Jerome Bettis was saying this weekend though about them. He was saying that he was quite angry and that it completely changed the course of the game. He equated it to a catcher telling a hitter exactly what pitch was coming and where it would be located...I mean come on. I am glad the Pats were penalized because although they arent the only team that is doing what they did it isnt the right way to do things and thats what the team is based upon so they deserved what they got. I was just thrilled though to see them smash on San Diego and silence most of the nay-sayers who honestly believed that they won because of a videotape of the opposing teams sidelines.

I personally feel 'who cares'. Let them try and cheat and find any way possible to win. It's a freakin game for cripes sake. IT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Some people take sports and athletics and elevate it to some super high moral standards.

I say, let them cheat, take roids, put bricks in their shoulder pads, who cares.... if it's entertaining, that's all that matters.

Take any competitive sport and I gaurantee you every team is cheating somehow to some extent. If not, they are losing.
