Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Just my opinion, they never stopped what they were originally accused of doing. They have been a 2nd half monster in too many games. I know that upsets some fanboys of the legends here…so be it.
Again, my opinion, that Spygate and the associated cover up by the league, sent the message that the league will do almost anything to preserve the illusion of integrity. In the minds of extremely intelligent cheaters and criminals, that represents a large swath of gray area in which to operate…safely. Kind of a Double Jeopardy situation - absolutely no freaking way Goodell wants to deal with that again. They even got all the other owners to turn their backs on the integrity of the game and protect the golden goose.
Just in these playoffs, we have accusations from the Ravens on the illegality of their formations, and now this.
