The Patriots were caught cheating during last weeks NFL game. They videotaped the opposing teams defensive signals coming into the game. It's a ''no no.'' So...what should the penalty be? Do you think that all NFL teams do shady stuff lke this and they just got caught? I dunno...steroid use, dog fighting, now ''Big Fat Cheaters''...what ever happened to the good old days of everyone knowing that pro sports is rigged, but not giving a crap?

Tread lightly, my friend

The Jets are just pissing because they lost the game. The Pat's are so good they don't need to resort to those kind of shignanigans. This is getting blown out of proportion. THE JET'S ARE CRYBABIES. He HE HE HE

They don't...but do

If they don't need to then why do it? They were warned last year...and it's the same Pats employee that was caught. There's some talk that they might have to give up some of their draft picks from next year. Heavy price to pay.

Reminds me

of the scandal involving the NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1954 when Leo Durocher, a year or two removed from manager of the Dodgers was accused of stealing signals as the Giants manager from the centerfield scoreboard. It was never proven but the seed was planted that anything is possible.

Hell, cheating has become an accepted way of life anymore. Look no further than our educational institutions, our politics and our sports. What's cheating if you don't get caught? That's the gold standard we've set and the example we're teaching our children these days.

Sad. Cheating used to leave us with a guilty conscious when most of us knew what it was to have a conscious. Nowadays, it's just the accepted norm. Do what you can to get over on the next guy/gal.

We are what we've allowed ourselves to become.
