Come on, time to come clean. We all know “cheater” and “tainted” are code words for “I’m jealous!!” and “I’m a loser!!” Especially when they’re in all caps.

“True but tampering with the coach is VERY different then tampering with the game itself. ”
Since Miami’s punishment was arguably harsher than the Patriots, that’s a very debatable point.

Interesting question. If Belichick was released, Pat fans might be surprised to find that other team owners would be reluctant to hire him as a head coach in spite of his football genius. Belichick is a pariah for Kraft, and no other team would want to inherit the ‘CHEATER!’ stigma that will follow Belichick wherever he goes. Even if he helps another team to win, other fans will accuse him of being a CHEATER - what owner wants that? It’s just not worth it. Perhaps the only owner in the league who might not give a damn is Jerry Jones - and even that is a stretch. No sane team fan base wants to be accused of winning by cheating. Reasonable Patriot fans are disappointed with Spygate, but most of them are silent on the internet. They don’t want to argue with the fanatical Patriot fans about the wrong way to win - what’s the point? They know their team is tainted, and it takes much of the joy out of rooting for the Pats until the owner takes a stand against cheating.
I would be willing to bet you there are 31 teams lining up to sign Belichick if he got released today. Why do you think no other team is spouting off against the Patriots during this entire circus. The NFL is about money and making more of it. You do this by winning and winning alone. Any owner who doesn’t believe this should have his head examined. The crap about cheating is so overblown. Yes he got caught and fessed up to it but let’s look at the simple fact - Belichick was able to take his team to an 18-1 record after getting caught, fined and put in under a microscope. Owners will give their left nut to get a coach that can win under these circumstances.

The cover-up is what matters now. Bill Belichick has yet to seek mercy from the National Court of Public Opinion. He has his story, and he’s sticking to it. He’s going to stonewall it, just as he stonewalls a routine injury inquiry. It’s just his nature, apparently.
He’s going to stonewall it, just as he stonewalls a routine injury inquiry.

“Why do you think no other team is spouting off against the Patriots during this entire circus. The NFL is about money and making more of it.”
That’s exactly why! The NFL is all about making money and every single owner would love nothing better than for this whole “Spygate” thing to go away because it does nothing but tarnish the integrity of the league. Stop thinking of the NFL as 32 different companies. It’s one big company with one singular goal: make as much money as possible.
You seriously thought that winning is what’s most important? The NFL rakes in the cash no matter who wins the games, and the nature of revenue sharing ensures that nobody is left on the short end, even if they’re not even TRYING to win. Do you honestly think Mike Brown gives a crap about winning? No, Mike Brown is only interested in lining his pockets. Some want to win AND make money, but winning is just icing on a very huge money cake, and is a secondary consideration to keeping the league as profitable as possible. You don’t enhance the profitability of the league by openly impugning the integrity of the league from within.
