Well This Flew Under the Radar

Apparently back when Goodell and Belichick met after the original SpyGate, Belichick admitted to taping opponents since his first games as coach in 2000. Really? Why wasn't this ever mentioned until now? Pro Football Talk raises the same question. And apparently there was proof that the Patriots taped the Steelers in 2004. During the regular season meeting, which the Steelers won 34-20, the Patriots couldn't compete with the Steelers ferocious defense. In the AFC Championship game in January 2005, the Patriots came out victorious and were seemingly able to stop anything Pittsburgh threw at them. Genius coaching and scheming? Or knowing what Pittsburgh did through illegal taping? Hmmm. Hopefully the full truth will come out soon. In my opinion, the Patriots are screwed. They have been cheating since 2000. If there is real evidence remaining (Matt Walsh?) on whether or not the Patriots taped one of their Super Bowl opponents (Rams? Panthers? Eagles?) in the regular season or before the big game, watch out. Things could get interesting. Bye bye Belichick? Loss of more draft picks?

Grr. If this is proven then we have a debate for team of the decade.
