The Pats
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007Time to chime in on the New England Patriots cheating scandal. In my opinion, using a camera to steal calls had to have an effect on the current game. Last season the Packers complained about it and the Packers aren’t even in the same division as the Pats. That is significant because the next time the Patriots could possibly see the Packers would be in the Super Bowl.
So why cheat? Thats the question on everyone’s minds. It must have given him some advantage and even though tiny, Belichick might be paranoid and want every edge. I think this might be comparable to Watergate where even with a lead, cheat to ensure victory. To add to my belief on his paranoia, he did it again the Jets where Mangini knew he did things like this. Definitely acting paranoid to cheat knowing the other team knows your cheating.
