Belichick should be fired. If I cheated at my job I'd be let go immediately. I don't know why Specter has to get involved though... Just let the league handle it.

i don't consider it cheating. far from it.
just using the available resources to succeed. everyone likes to hate on people/teams that are successful. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

Except that in this case it is against the rules. QUOTE "There isn't a team in the league that doesn't try to steal signals [but] I haven't heard about teams recording footage like the Patriots were," said one longtime NFL assistant coach. "But you can bet everybody is trying to steal in some way. In fact, you can go to any NFL game and you'll find some coach whose sole job is to look for defensive signals." Added one NFC personnel director: "What the Patriots did is extremely rare because it's against the rules. It's one of those things that if it's not Bill Belichick involved, you wonder if the coach survives something like that. What is more normal is something like a guy sitting in a press box trying to steal signs by looking at the coaches. That's why the home team usually has its back to the press box when they're in their own stadium." They broke a rule that had been clearly laid out by Goodell. Breaking a rule = cheating. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
