NFL Needs To Suspend Belichick for Sign Stealing

Submitted by ABigBadBruin, Sep 13, 2007 14:05

...Y'all might want to look in the mirror. Sign stealing is a long standing aspect of every NFL team's game plan. [Listen well] Every team does it, without exception. However, the Patriots whether through stupidity, or arrogance (I'll wager the latter is true) got caught. For that they should be penalized. But don't go around thinking that your favorite team doesn't do the exact same thing every week, they do, and will continue to do so; just like the Patriots. When we come to week 14, or 15 it will be apparent that the Patriots didn't really need to behave in this manner; they were doing what all teams do.

I feel sorry for ignorant New Yorkers who think that their teams don't try to get every little edge that they can, the Met's and Yankees do it all the time. In fact, now that I am on a roll, Tony Pena is, and should be considered one of the greatest sign stealers of all time. I know b/c (that means because) we had the priviledge of having him play and sign steal in Boston. Do you really think that he forgot those skills when he joined the Empire?

In closing, I would just like to ask New Yorkers to stop proselytizing (look it up) some newfound sports moralism, I guarantee that it WILL ccome back to haunt you.
