Pats fans: content to be ignorant

Don't you guys get it?  It's not about stealing signals.  It's about the fact that your liar of a head coach told Goodell he "misinterpreted a rule."  But everything about the tapes - from the secret way in which they were made to the unusual precautions the Patriots took to make sure they weren't discovered - tells you that the Pats and Sweatshirt-Boy knew what they were doing was a violation of the rules.

Think about it - it doesn't even make sense.  Even if you hate Belichick, you know he's a great coach and a smart man.  Do we really believe that all the other NFL teams - half of which are coached and/or run by morons - managed to comply with this rule, but that Billy somehow had a learning comprehension problem?  Please.

If you don't believe me, read this: http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10825023

The point here is that Belichick flat-out lied to the NFL.  That - not the taping - should be grounds for a lifetime ban.  He violated the NFL Code of Ethics.  His word means nothing at this point, and the NFL is too valuable to entrust to liars.

And to that fat, arrogant cheese-salesman of an owner - I would offer this.  Shut your yapper.  Considering your team was just busted for cheating, and your head coach lied to the league office on top of cheating, you have some kind of b*lls coming after the Boston Herald as if they falsely accused the Pats of cheating.  The only thing the Herald got wrong was the extent of the cheating.  Big fat Bobby Kraft's boy still lied and cheated.  So Bob - Shhhhh!

Patriots will always be the most despised team in sports whether they are 18-1 or 1-18

everyone outside of new england area basically hates them ,recognises them as cheaters ,i cant tell you how gratifying it was to see the Giants beat the pats ,made my month if not year ,i dont care which team in the league wins as long as its not those bas--rds in new england

CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER BUT IN THE CASE OF THE PATSIES AND THEIR SCUM COACH THEY UNFORTUNATELY DID !

Lol....Great post Mariobuster...

ANd please...A lifetime ban? People have done much worse things and not gotten life time bans (COUGH - Pacman/Vick - COUGH COUGH)

Want to know what's really funny? There were over 23 other incidents with teams taping from illegal spots. These include the Jets, Steelers, and Dolphins. (All this comes from ESPN.com) And they didn't get a whole scandal at all. I'm not saying what we did was right, but the fact that the "Spygate" scandal gets all the publicity is biased.

Uh, lots of people cheated. Roger Clemens, Eric Mangini, Barry Bonds, when some of those people get banned for life then maybe you have a case to ban Belichick

Robert Kraft does not own Kraft Cheese. I had to set that straight.
