Sometimes cheaters win, sometimes they get caught and still win - they simply must make an investment in the company they work under, just ask New England Patriots coach Bill Belichek (sp).
Bill comes to media day and apologizes for whatever it is the NFL is going to charge/punish him for, but not really. He only apologizes for any disruption and negativity that may or may not come out because an employee of his was caught videotaping NY Jets' coaches defensive hand gestures to players on the field.
Pats fans are saying everyone does it, they just don't get caught. In fact, because the Pats were obviously not trying to be sneaky about it, sending someone on the field with a video camera, that they are more moral than other teams.
I'm not even going to comment. Bill should've been suspended. Period. He wasn't and I'm not going to cry myself to sleep over it. But at some point, professional athletics is going to have to start acting professional.
Watched a doozy of a HS football game tonight. Had all the drama a fan wants to see on the field and none of the bullshit we don't want to see out of our HS kids. The better team won, but the losers definately aren't. But, it's only a matter of time before the money gets to these kids as well and to whom are we going to point to as an example of how to handle yourself when 'professional' temptation presents itself.
We might as well all start dog-fighting rings - it's cruel and unusual, but at least it's competitors are still fighting for something.
