Now that we've seen some of the SpyGate tapes it's official. The Patriots were cheating. From at least 2000 until last September. Now why would they continue such a practice for so long, even if they thought it was legal? Obviously because they were finding the practice useful. Which means they were gaining some sort of advantage. By doing something against the rules. That is by definition, cheating.
The tapes show VERY clear shots of the opposing teams coaches sending in signals. With shots immediately after of the scoreboard to determine the situation in the game. The only reason to do all of this is to be able to know what a defense is going to do based on the situation and the signals from the sideline. If Tom Brady gets that information that's a ridiculously unfair advantage.
We cannot assume that the Patriots are alone in taping signals or cheating in general. But they got caught. And they've been very successful during the duration in which it was proved they were cheating. If we found out that the Lions had been cheating for the last decade nobody would care. In fact that would by hysterical. But for now:
Barry Bonds TO HR Records IS Patriots TO 3 Super Bowls
