The Patriots are Owed an Apology

Goodell: "We were also able to verify that there was no Rams walk-through tape. No one asked him to tape the walk-through. He's not aware of anybody else who may have taped the walk-through. He had not seen such a tape. He does not know of anybody who says there is a tape."

Swept under the rug, period.

The Commish went easy on them. No Rams tape? There was SOMETHING, which is why they agreed to this hearing in the first place. There was something in addition to the original tapes to warrant another look....

I personally don't care. But I think everyone's had enough with it and it just got put to rest. The Pats already got what they deserved and will be forever remembered as cheaters, like it or not.

Enough is enough already.

Indeed. Enough. This is not going to be the last cheating scandal in the NFL. Fans calling for the heads of the Patriots soon may find their own teams' necks on the cutting block. Truth is, the Patriots win because they play great. When they lose it's because they play like crap. I hope the Pats face your NY Giants again in Superbowl XLIII.

Revenge will be ours! Good luck, Giants fan.

Look!!! Patriots used videotaped signals to their advantage...An offensive player would memorize the signals, watch for them on the sideline and pass them on to assistant coach Charlie Weis, who would then inform quarterback Tom Brady...Is that FAIR???

[rmsattyrms]

The Patriots taped some fat coaches doing The Macarena. There is no proof the Pats ever benefited from the so-called signals or even decoded them. Truth is, the only signal the Pats need(ed) from the Jets is on the sides of their helmets. It says "Jets." It means they suck. The same goes for 98% of the rest of the NFL. Whoever attributes stolen signals to the Patriots' successes is uninformed, unrealistic, and, possibly, unwise.

Walsh is a pin-head. They lie.

@gfscarface You're seriously the biggest loser I've ever seen. 

[earthpart3]

@NYGIANTPRIDE Only by haters. Also, how is getting away with holding on the tyree play not cheating? Funny how that works.. you fucking idiot.

@gfscarface13

That's only in your opinion, and you are entitled to make that opinion. And there was no tape of the Rams walkthrough, someone was just lying to get some air time. The fact is that none of the Super Bowls are tainted and no one has put an asterisk next to them.

[BourbonAnakin]

What did you idiots want? Public hangings? The team suffers even now for this crap that many in the NFL were doing (recall they made a rule against it BEFORE Belichick broke it). The team played their asses off in 2007 with this line of shit dogging their heels - and it got them no where, If I were them, I'd just pack up and leave the league. Except then who the hell would they compare Manning to?

[allblackss37]

all the idiots who are giving too much credit to the taping of signals clearly dont understand the game of football...last time i checked, you still have to play...and to call the entire patriots cheaters is also stupid...you think tom brady was like oooo what was the signal?? no, he still has to be able to torch the defense, which he was able to do...besides, i think its safe to say that the offense really didnt bring the rings...the defense did, and if there are no offensive signals to read...

[gfscarface13]

Its abvious they told Matt Walsh to Shut his mouth and Bought him out. Patriots SuperBowls will Always be Tainted. They say other teams did it, well the Patriots & Bill Belichick are the Only team & coach in history to get Caught. Fined $500,000 & lost a Draft Pick. Why did Bill Belichick do it for? To get an advantage which equals Cheating and had done it since 2000.

Patriots 2001* 2003* 2004*

[maineebay]

That's not true. Every team changes signals almost every quarter. Why? Because the players can see them .
