Belichick was fined $500,000 (the maximum allowed) and the team was fined $250,000 and the loss of a draft pick

Perfect season!

The reason people cheat is because people like the ones in this thread could care less...

I'm sure that Patriots fans will eventually have some misgivings about people bringing up the Belichick scandal every time their perfect 16-0 record is mentioned.

It would have been best for them to get the record without any mitigation caused by questioning of it, but on the other hand they may not have gotten to 16-0 without it.

Might be willing to make a dollar bet right now that every sports journal covering the Patriots' win will have a little sidebar mentioning the cheating scandal.

You sound "cheated" yourself. That all occurred in the first game of the season. How would you account for the other 15 wins. Surely the teams all changed their signs.

It was a fabulous game tonight and the Giants played hard and did darn well.

Hats off to Brady the Magnificent and Randy Moss for breaking the records.

I think what you meant to say was "couldn't care less."

Anyway, I'm glad the Pats were caught "cheating" in the first game of the season. Because it obviously turned out that they are even a better team when they aren't "cheating."

I think what really angers a lot of people about "Spygate" is that the Patriots actually got better after being forced to stop spying on the other teams. It kind of puts the lie to their contention that the spying gave them an unfair advantage. If anything, the spying was holding them back. Maybe the spying caused them to over analyze the other teams and cost them some victories. Because now that they don't do it anymore, they are perfect.

I wondered how far down these posts that an idiot would raise his bitter self?

How did you get to be so self-righteous?
