As much as i try not to care, the patriots seem like they're actually a pretty good team, despite the fact that they cheated in some possibly completely inconsequential way to beat one of the worst teams in the league. It seems a little silly to me to claim that somehow we should ignore the things that they've accomplished because we know for a fact that they cheated in a game that even their most vehement critics claim they would have won, especially in light of the likelihood that they weren't the only team who was cheating.

Doesn't seem like it was one game. More like it was an on going behavior over several seasons. How many games? How many seasons? Not sure we'll ever know since the league destroyed the tapes. Still it was in clear violation of league rules.
Are there other teams that have been caught and fined by the NFL that I don't know about?
