What Is Your Opinion About The Patriots And Spygate?

I think they violated the NFL rules, they know it, and they really don't care. I don't really think that the information they gained really helped them, but I could be wrong. I find it hard to believe that watching any of these tapes would give them any advantage at all. However, I still believe they should have been punished more than they were, and I think the NFL should have banned them from the 1st round of the draft this year, and should have assigned an investigator to their team for the entire year to see what else they are doing wrong.

Spying on the side lines is not a new issue in football. Just go to any Friday night high school game it happens there too. It's part of the game

It was clearly cheating or they would not have been punished by the NFL. The Patriots are a bunch of smug punks to be such cheaters.

I don't know if it honestly would have made a difference one way or the other. It was wrong yes but this was something that other coaches that had done in the past. It's just New England, because of the success they've had, gets hit with the spotlight. Cheating is wrong and I do agree it shouldn't happen and I think now that has been taken care of.

What I hated most was a bitter Senator (Spector) because his team lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl getting involved in the 1st place when it really wasn't necessary.

I think they would still be good but I think now they won't be doing that again. As far as we can go, that's all we got was what we knew at the beginning and that's it. It's a shame this gets coverage than the NBA scandal but that's another story for another time.

My opinion is that they definitely cheating and breaking NFL rules by taking opponents signs for the plays. Its basically like in baseball, you knowing when a fastball is coming and where it is going in the strike zone. They knew what plays the other teams were calling, and that could easily have contributed to them winning games. Especially since that they allegedly did this during a Rams practice before a super bowl in 2001. That would have been a huge offense if in fact they did that, seeing as the Super Bowl is the biggest event in sprts, and they might have cheated during it.

I think the patriots should on been more severily punished and the reason why im mad about spygate is because my favorite team is the eagles and the patriots cheated there way to winning the super bowl against the eagles

I don't think it was really a big deal. Everyone watches films and tapes games, apparently they just were to arrogant about it. Even high school teams go and tape other teams and exchange films. The game is so much different today with technology. Teams don't just line up and play anymore. They certainly got punished for it though.
