Eddy... that is a false argument.... to try and do the thing of 'you think this was the only team', while there is no evidence against them and a history of evidence and accusation against the Pats, is not fair to the other teams.... if there is evidence, then rightfully complain against those that there is evidence on... but there is no evidence

This, IMHO, has to put a taint not only on Bill B., but the championships as well.. (rightfully or wrongly, it still has to be there)....

Is it worse when an organization or coach cheats, than it is when a player cheats??? YES.. and here is why.... the player is like an entry level employee in a company... 'young' and headstrong, and not really in a leadership position in terms of major decisions... the coach and organization ARE leaders and examples. They are supposed to know better, much more so than any player. The integrity of the whole game falls more on the shoulders of the coach and organization than it does on any one player... Did Merriman cheat?? Hell yes, and was rightfully punished for it.... even with that, the Charger fans have every right to complain about the cheating by the Pats....

There is no doubt that the Jets lost because they were they were outclassed and outplayed... but that does not take anything away from the fact that the Pats have been doing something dispicable
