Patriots: History Of Cheating Beginning To Develop

The NFL wanted to quickly to brush the New England Patriots' cheating scandal to the side, burn the evidence and have everyone forget about the whole matter. The cheating conspiracy has lingered all season long over New England's perfect season but there hasn't been enough uproar or further revelations to cause the media and fan's, for the most part, to really put much stock into the whole situation. My thought is that the Patriots are probably not the only team that is doing this, just the only team that has gotten caught so far. But now ESPN is reporting that the Patriots had an cameraman videotaping a Rams walkthrough prior to Super Bowl 36...obviously showing a pattern of nefarious activity for the Patriots that doesn't stop even on NFL's biggest stage, the Super Bowl.

If more and more dubious activity is reported regarding the Patriots, they will quickly fall from being one of the greatest NFL dynasty's to being one of the dirtiest, least respected teams of all-time. Although I still contend that it is probably likely that all NFL teams engage in some sort of questionable activity to gain a competitive advantage, no other team has really been caught and now that the Patriots have been caught and it seems as if they engaged in this activity for quite some time, it could really cast a shadow on their legacy.
