So, after being caught in the first game of the season, did they manage to do a better job of hiding it? Or did they obliterate the rest of the league with football skills?

Doens’t matter. At work, you get fired. At school you get kicked out. In the military you get shot.

New England should have been stripped of ANY honor this year, period. As a lesson.

Isnt it obvious? They probably have a whole bunch of other ways that they are cheating. I always thought their coach looked a little shifty.

By compiling an artificially inflated number of "wins" over the last few years, the Patriots have been able to attract top talent such as Randy Moss for below market rates. See, for example, http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/news/story?id=2853116

Moss and arguably Wes Welker engineered their way onto the Patriots not for money but for the chance to win a super bowl. The Patriots cheating undermined league parity and enabled them to enjoy unfair advantages over other teams bidding for the services of players like these.
