They should have forfeited the game in which they cheated...but the NFL likes entertainment more than rules.
The biggest question is why did New England think they had to cheat to beat the Jets.
This is the NFL, it’s a MANLY sport, this pathetic display of childish stone kicking doesn’t even belong in lame fru-fru sports like synchronized swimming. Rent a life.
Somebody needs to remind you that you are watching football - you are not a player. Watching the TV does not make you MANLY. You have nothing to do with the sport - you are not playing the sport - you are not an athlete (in this context)...you are fan whining about people that don't drink your brand of NFL kool-aid
You might want to take you own advice about getting a life.
Do you mean the TV networks have lied to me? Drinking beer and watching sports doesn't make me a sports star? All of those years have been wasted?!?
Dang. Well, at least I still have NASCAR.
The NFL has NEVER made a team forfeit a game, EVER. So that “should have” is a “never happened” and therefore an idiotic request. Anyway the taper got caught in the first quarter, the Jets had 3/4 to make up whatever “advantage” was given.
No the biggest question is why are some people so obsessed with the breaking of a rule they probably didn’t even know existed prior to Sept of 07?
Football is a manly game, watched or played. There’s no room in it on either side of the camera for pathetic loser obsessive behavior.
And actually I’m a STEELER fan. Which just proves that the whining crowd is full of crap. They like to pretend they’re the head of a major anti-Pats movement, a nation of the irritated, really they’re just a small number of people with a sad obsession with tearing down the accomplishments of others. Genetically incapable of actually experiencing joy they instead have to try to remove joy from others. When confronted with the possibility of enjoying one of the most amazing seasons in the history of professional sports they instead scramble to find something to complain about. I like football, I like the fact that I might get to see the first perfect season in 35 years, the first perfect season of the 16 game era, given the movement the league seems to be making towards adding a game to the season possibly the ONLY perfect season of the 16 game era. You see, I actually can experience joy, the joy of the game. You should try it out sometimes, I promise you won’t have an allergic reaction, it’s actually not possible to be allergic to happiness.
