Patriots, NFL deny new spying allegation

Here is a team with an eternal asterisk by their records during the Belichick era. What really amazes me though, is the attitude of the NFL commissioner:

"There was no indication that it benefited them in any of the Super Bowl victories," he said.

Listen, you moron. Cheating is cheating, and it's wrong. If I take a secret crib sheet to a classroom test, and am caught with it before the test starts, I'm still gonna get an 'F' on that test, and probably suspended from school, despite the fact that the crib sheet didn't help me a bit. If I find a poorly written term paper on the internet and turn that in as my work, I'm gonna be punished for plagiarism, even though the paper on it's own would've earned me a 'D' and not helped my grade at all.

Cheating is cheating, and it's wrong. Even if you lose while doing it.

AP - A member of the New England Patriots' video staff taped the St. Louis Rams' last walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl, a Boston newspaper reported Saturday. The NFL, however, said it was satisfied this was not another Spygate.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
