All i have to say is "*" (thats whats going to be placed next to every game the patriots have won). [editor's note: The comment was in reference to their defense, which was the strength of the team. There's nothing that can be stolen from the other team to help out the defense, since plays are radio'd directly into the quarterback.] Yea… i like this comment “You could see on the field on that the players were starting realize where they needed to be on each play”.

There's a lot of talk around the league that every team is doing it and the only reason they got caught was that Mangini tipped them off (since he was a former coach). If it is going on around the league like everyone says, I don't mind, because it means that everyone was playing on a level field. The Patriots did it all on defense that year - their offense wasn't ranked high at all. It's worth noting that alleged cheating can't help the defense, it helps the offense.

Too many players of average talent and a rookie QB - it's just too miraculous without cheating. Sorry Pats but it looks like that win was stolen and so were the others (and the stories about Belichek's personal life - it all makes sense now).

I have had years where I lived and breathed Patriots football. This may be the best blog post ever. I have hanging in my family room here in the midwest where I now live a pennant from Superbowl XX that was printed before the game that says "New England Patriots, Super Bowl XX Champions" (I wish, ugh) that a friend found in a pawn shop for me in Boston years later. I was so happy when in 2002 I could get a pennant from a Superbowl they actually won to hang beside it. :) Thanks for writing this post.
