Bill Belichik and Patriots Caught "Cheating"

So Bill Belichick was caught with his "pants down" this week. The New England Patriots were caught videotaping the defensive signals of the NY Jets defensive coaches. There's been debate going on all week as to how much of an advantage this actually gives a team and the logistics of actually putting this info to use during a game in progress seem sketchy. Regardless, Belichick was fined $500,000 after NFL commisioner Roger Goodell looked at the tapes. Just when I was feeling excited and happy for Randy Moss that he has finally found a good program, team and stage to showcase his talents, this stuff happens! What must Moss be thinking? I'm sure he's focused on tomorrow's game with the Chargers, but it has to be very annoying and disappointing to him and all the rest of the Patriots players to have to deal with this and answer questions about it all the time.

It was determined that the videotaping had no effect during the actual Jets game last week, that New England's 38-14 romping of them was legitimate, but this is still a major taint to whatever the Patriots accomplish this year and to their legacy. I personally will just forget about it in time but there are all sorts of people saying they should forfeit their three Super Bowl rings which is ridiculous. Now all these Eagles players are suddenly looking back on Super Bowl 39 and wondering why New England got away with so many successful screen plays against them. Hey, Philadelphia! You lost the Super Bowl! Again! Face it and forget about it! The Patriots were just a better team that year and McNabb couldn't stop puking in the huddle.

The best thing the Patriots can do right now is just destroy the San Diego Chargers tomorrow. This scandal won't easily die away but if anything they have even more motivation to completely dismantle the competition than ever. Go Randy Moss! Long live Belichick and Tom Brady the Golden God! (though New England is my second-favorite team behind the Colts)
