Like a coin has two sides, so does cheating. You'll always have those willing to cheat. The more important things are having those who detect and report the cheating when it occurs and then having those who properly rebuke the cheaters. After "years of cheating" what happened to those kind of men? What did everybody fall asleep? Did every make assumptions? Did everybody just take for granted? Weren't revenues and salaries increasing like gangbusters? I mean, why rock the boat, eh?
LOL!
No, Coach Shula, an asterisk is not rebuke. Banning a team from the playoffs is.
When great coaches they Mr. Shula propose ball-less penalities like wee little stars printed in the record books, we'll end up with considerably more cheating.
What a great example for the rest of society! Every felon convicted of fraud with get a wee little asterisk in his FaceBook and Wikipedia entries!
"Cheating" is a part of the game.
“He (Shula)was still the coach of the Baltimore Colts at the end of the 1969 season, when then-Miami owner Joe Robbie approached him and signed Shula to a contract. The NFL charged the Dolphins with tampering and awarded their first-round pick to the Colts.”
The Dolphins cheated to get Shula. Put asterisks next to their wins.

I can hardly believe how many typos I made in my post, above. It’s a total embarrassment! I apologize to all, but I refuse to use a spell checker. That would be cheating!
