Have the Patriots been cheating for the last 15 years? Agreed or Disagreed

These new allegation about the Patriots cheating over the last few years is bullshit to say the least. I future comments from this point will be totally unbiased even though I am a New York Jets fan. I truly hope these allegation are absolutely false. I have been quoted saying that I believe pro sports is the greatest and the most realistic reality show. I think gaining an unfair advantage or cheating in pro sports could the one thing that will drive fans away from the sport. I would certainly begin to interest in watching the the NFL. Cheating in the NFL would dilute the game by taking away the unpredictability from game to game.

The Patriots extended success goes all the way back to the 2001 season, only missing the playoffs twice in the during this span. They have managed to average 12 wins a season never finishing under 9 wins since the 2001 season. There is no question that the Patriots have been the class of the NFL as far as winning. The real issue at hand is what if most of their success was apart of some type of unfair advantage. ESPN reports that the Patriots recorded over 40 games between the 2001 and 2007 seasons. The reports also claims that team employees would steal opposing teams playbook and scouting reports. This is the most ridiculous I have heard of in pro sports. The one thing I find that needs to be questioned if these reports are true who was telling these low level employees to do these things? Was it Bill Belichick? Players? Front office staff? Robert Kraft? I just hope these reports are absolutely false from top to bottom.
