Finally, a story about cheating in professional sports that has nothing to do with a player giving himself a pharmaceutical edge. This is good old fashioned cheating, albeit with a technological twist. By now everyone knows that the NFL has evidence that the New England Patriots have violated league rules, and are about to have their day with a commissioner whose trigger finer is itchier than Lindsay Lo...nah, too easy. I'm not going to get into the argument of whether stealing signs is right or wrong, or if it's cheating. I'll leave that for the people who still call in to radio programs, which is like so 1998. Hey, we all did stupid things in our twenties. The thing that cracks me up about the Pats getting nailed, is the fact that they were apparently caught red-handed, recording the Jets coaching staff from their own sideline! C'mon, that's got "stupid criminal" show on Spike TV written all over it. Who's the bigger dunce? A) The guy who gave a stick-up note to the bank teller on the back of his personal check, or B) The moron who tried to break into a hotel room with his own credit card, and broke half of it off in the door? I'll go with C) The idiot caller I heard on the radio on my way home from work, who suggested that the league shouldn't dock the Patriots draft picks, and just suspend Belichick for a few games instead. Yeah right, Bill could coach that team to the playoffs from a cave in Afghanistan with nothing but a cell phone and a notepad. From the looks of it, Roger Goodell is going to come down hard on New England and hit them where it really hurts...on the roster.

I still can't figure out why the Pats were so brazen in their crooked ways. Wouldn't it be easier to just plant someone in the stands? But then again, what the hell do I know? I don't even get paid for writing this drivel. Hindsight...she sure is a bitch, isn't she?
