like i kept saying THE WHOLE TIME

The fact remains that BB did cheat. Its very unfortunate because he has an excellent team that probably didn't need to. As a Pats fan I think they should have got rid of him after this was first discovered. If not, at the end of the season. They need to turn the page on this.

For the guy who started this stream... Nothing's changed. The rule you posted is big enough to drive a truck through, but its obvious what the rules intention was meant to be. You cannot steal signals to help your team. To say that it only applies to taping during a game for use during that very same game is foolish. You said people never attacked your logic. I say you didn't use any when you posted the rule.

I would argue that BB had a very strong look at the rule in order to come up with a plausable defence to taping signals. It was not ignorance or a misinterpretation. He found a way to get around the rule with out getting punished to harshly.

first who said i was an expert. i wasn't a pats hater until this. you all put a good program together and up until this appeared to have done it the right way. while i find Tom Brady an annoying playboy and probably a hair tougher than a kleenex i do respect what he does on the field.

what aggravates me is the beat your chest arm chair quarterback fan who probably only knows what they read in the papers or hears on the tv. take pride in your team thats great and you should. but dont come off like some pissed off kid.

why is my logic terrible?

looks pretty accurate to me.

and oh by the way, if the Cheaters were Cheating since 2000 should they not lose a draft pick for every year they were cheating?

hmmmm.... 

I wonder what Rep. Alen Spector has to say about all this :O

I'm sure it's going to be more than Goodell's version of satisfaction. There's more tapes than what was originally turned into the NFL. So now they lied again....

I'm sorry, but this will never be put to rest, we all know it, no matter how much you Patriot's fans want it to be over it will never be over.

How many of you were alive during the 1919 Black Sox scandal? How many know about the 8 men out? Shoeless Joe Jackson???

Yeah, none of you, and yet you know about it, it was a huge scandal and it involved a championship. The time frame of the Spygate scandal spans several years and involves several championships. I hope that Kraft does the wise thing and rids himself of Bellicheat. The organization never needed him to win, they were headed in the right direction, they have the players...an average coach suddenly turns into a genius? No, he simply started cheating, and I think it a great discredit to the Patriot's Players, organization and their fans, especially thier fans. Now for the rest of your life's you will have to justify these 3 super bowls as untainted, with the rest of the NFL fanbase saying differently.
