Message: <blockquote data-quote="Obi-Wan" data-source="post: 104753" data-attributes="member: 709">If they are so smart why have they found it necessary to cheat to beat their opponents?  I know this was years ago but we know that most drug addicts, thieves , and cheaters don't quit once they are caught they just find better ways to hide it.  This was far and away the worst scandal in Patriots history. In a way it tarnished the team’s legacy as one of the <a href="http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/how-the-new-england-patriots-paid-the-best-team-in-the-nfl.html/" target="_blank">best dynasties in NFL history</a>. In a game against the New York Jets in 2007, New England was caught videotaping the Jets’ play-call signals. After a thorough investigation, the league determined that this was a <a href="http://nypost.com/2014/10/12/they-are-cheaters-spygate-the-nfl-scandal-that-started-it-all/" target="_blank">common practice</a> for the Patriots from 2002–07, which was during the peak of their success.Commissioner Roger Goodell responded by fining the Patriots $250,000, taking away a first-round draft choice, and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3018338" target="_blank">fining head coach</a> Bill Belichick $500,000. On a side note, Josh McDaniels, a Belichick disciple, was caught <a href="http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/josh-mcdaniels-spygate-2-denver-broncos-112910" target="_blank">filming the practices</a> of the San Francisco 49ers while he was the head coach of the Denver Broncos. The apple apparently doesn’t fall very far from the tree in New England.</blockquote>
