Every NFL player who was asked said, "Uh, yeah, that would help a lot" (paraphrased). Just like Barry Bonds who still has to put the bat on the ball, the Patriots still have to execute the plays. That doesn't make it alright and cheating is cheating. Roger Goodell agrees he as just set the standard for this. Now they're saying they could have been doing this for the past 5 years. eek All that talent and they have to stoop to this level. :rolleyes:
I agree that it is cheating, but to me this is a very minor instance of it. To compare this to gambling on baseball is ridiculous (though I DO think that if Rose did NOT bet on the Reds, as the evidence indicates, then he should be allowed in the Hall). A rule is a rule is a rule, but some of the comments I've been hearing have been downright ridiculous.

Hines Ward anyone? Quit making your lame ass excuses! You lost. In a game six year ago. Fucking deal with it already!

Not to mention the fact Mangini is a fucking hypocrite. He only decided to rat the Pats out after the Jets got the shit kicked out of them last Sunday. Mangini worked for years with Belichick. Why speak up now?

Then the Packers bitching about it. How can the Patriots possibly use that tape? They play the Pack what, every four years? Completely useless.

Look, as I said, what they did was wrong. It broke the rules, Goodell laid it down, and it's over with. The Patriots still would have won the vast majority of these games anyway. Last I checked, they're pretty good.

And no, I'm not a Patriots fan. Just calling it as I sees it.[/b]

What I wanted to say but, because I'm a Pats fan I can't. laugh
