Oops, our bad... now leave us alone

So Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft apologized to the NFL for Spygate. Isn’t that precious? They PROMISE it won’t happen again. John Wilkes Booth made the same statement after shooting Abe Lincoln in Ford’s Theater-ensuring the safety of Mary Todd and the rest of the Lincoln clan.

The Hoodie made the point that the episode is now behind the Pats, and we won’t have to worry about anything more. That’s nice. Of course, a combined fine of $750 K and losing a draft pick had something to do with it. There should have been suspensions and possibly a forfeit-although the Jets had no real chance of winning that opening game last September. Ironically, New England gets a top ten pick anyway because of a trade with the 49ers.

Ok-the Pats are about as sincere about this as Rosie O’Donnell at Weight Watchers.

If they hadn’t been caught, there would be no mea culpa. You can make the argument that everybody does it, so what’s the big deal? Two things: Cheating is cheating, and the Patriots are an arrogant bunch-a far cry from the perception they gave off winning their first Super Bowl against the Rams-and who knows WHAT will turn up there?

How ‘bout this: The Patriots were one of the teams that voted for the NFL to allow a defensive player to wear a radio in his helmet-like the quarterback on offense. Have they found a way to intercept the radio frequencies?

One sentence remains: 18 wins, and 1 GIANT loss :)
