The Patriots Were "Cheaters": End Of Story

If one wants to lose all credibility, use the word "cheating," or even "spygate."  It was illegal placement of a camera.

The crime was not stealing signals.  That is legal.  I have links to people like Shanahan bragging about using binoculars. 

No crime if he used binoculars.

And they are not secret signals.  They are in plain sight of 30,000 or so people.

Having a camera is legal.  How do you think "game film" comes into being?  Ron Jaworski super powers?

Oh, you think the crime was using them at half time.  With digital you can.  Everything anyone ever wrote referred to "tapes" not hard drives or discs.  Ask a video guy how long it takes to sync up film of signals and clock with what happens on the field.

The crime was creating a permanent record from a better than legal angle.  Yes, for the very stupid, that is cheating more than holding or getting around the salary cap.

Of course idiots regurgitating crap from ESPN will continue because stupid people will always exist.

Oh, there was no rule against it.  (There is no rule against using a donkey to kick field goals either, but Walt Disney might find that to be in the same category as "no rule says I can't wear brass knuckles.")

Yes, that is what cheating looks like.

One thing not shown in this NFL film is Shula trying to get the ref to put the snow back.
