I wonder if another coach besides Belichick would have done the same thing if they would have gotten suspended?, such as a young coach as Sean Payton.
Being he's won 3 SB's and that the Pats are a high ranked team could be the reason they didn't suspend him, I was shocked to see he wasn't.
What's up with that?

Sorry but I myself don't think it's that big of a deal. Not saying I condone cheating, but I feel as if the punishment fits the crime already. I don't see a reason to totally boycott watching NFL football... more importantly, Saints football. In all seriousness, I don't think it played that big of a role of the Pats winning all those rings. But I guess that's something we'll never know for sure...

phatoosdey · 09-14-2007, 09:19 PM

i'm with you papz...i feel the punishment is sufficient except in one regard...anytime you are caught cheating in a game you forfeit the game

if all 53 on the roster knew it would have been out way sooner....i triple dog dare you to cut me mr. bill...i'll sing like a canary

I bet you even Randy's wondering what the hell he's gotten himself into.

CheramieIII · 09-15-2007, 08:42 AM

Papz, your last statement is most fitting. We'll never really know the impact any of the cheating had and the fact that Belicheat doesn't want to address it now might just be because it's been ongoing, which raises even more issues?

Belicheat's arogance at the press conference like the whole issue meant nothing raises even more concern.

This is my opinion:

Belicheat never won anything until he started cheating as the head coach of the Patriots.

Brady a second string QB at Michigan won't be as good in the future without the direction of the offensive coordinator who can't cheat anymore.

The New England Patriots are nothing more than OJ or Vick to me now. They won those Superbowls by cheating, plain and simple.

Well... I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the season plays out. I still believe the Pats are one of the best AFC teams and is one of the favorites to make it to the Superbowl. I'm sure even a division title should dis spell how little significance this is. I'm sure we'll see Tom Brady in the ProBowl again too.

However Cher, I do understand your point of view on this.

hey papz,
here is an article by vic carruci on his take of belichick........
Pats' 'videogate' doesn't diminish Super success

here was a letter i sent to his station on how i felt about it....

in response to your take on why the patriots 3 super bowl wins should stand....

does not one, I repeat one game sometimes makes the difference between making the playoffs or not?
I doubt you could argue this..........
and, with this being the case, if just that one win with the help of cheating got the patriots there, should they not forfeit a super bowl title because of this?
where are your morals?
you can make the case that they have good players and coaches till you're blue in the face but it does not justify cheating.
and that's just what they did............
if it's one thing the American people do not tolerate, it is cheating, especially in sports........
you'd do good to rethink your position on this...........
