[QUOTE="Dr. Harry, post: 3863529, member: 5468"] You seem to be sayig that it would have no game effect if you know what plays the other team will be running, and they don't know what plays *you* will be running. That's a big difference. Now, in the case of the Jets, the Patriots did not need to cheat to beat them, which asks the question "Why the &^&^% did they cheat?" If your paranthetical statement means something other than "we can cheat because 'everybody' is cheating", then the only thing that I can think of are the legitimate attempts to predict the other's teams plays. The difference here is that the NFL has decided that certain methods are off-limits (way off-limits in what the Pats did as per the size of the fines - unless that's just because everybody hates the Patriots). However Mangini feels about Belicheck, if Belicheck hadn't been cheating, then there would be nothing that could be done. Any objection to Bill Belicheck doing whatever the heck he wants to do, regardless of the rules, must soley be due to a personal hate for Belicheck and the Pats? I haven't found that; I did find this: "In a letter to the Patriots, Goodell also said, 'This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid longstanding rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest competition on the playing field.'" [url]http://www.nbcsports.com/portal/site/nbcsports/menuitem.6f806e473b4cb158fb00ec22493c2d04/?vgnextoid=c124f79527205110VgnVCM10000075c1d240RCRD&cpsextcurrchannel=1[/url] Not a lot. If Bill Belicheck exchanges his cut-up sweatshirt for a hair shirt, it will do nothing. I don't think that it is a question for most people on "what more can they do?", but "look what kind of people Belicheck and the Pats are". [/QUOTE]
