Oh yeah and if the pats do win their season should get an * just like Barry Bonds home run ball. They cheated and should have been banned from the playoffs.

Probably not. He had serious ankle injury in his first postseason, and even had to sit at the end of the Pittsburgh game, when Bledsoe came in for the winning TD, and then returned two weeks later in the Super Bowl, and we all know how that turned out.
Oh, and calls for asterisks etc are utterly ludicrous. They paid their penance, to the tune of money and a major drat pick, and that's the end of it. The freakin Jets themselves were caught taping without permission and asked to leave by the Patriots. As far as the NFL sweeping it under the rug, that is also ridiculous. This administration has done nothing except impose maximum penalties and try to send a message to players and teams around the league, which is what they did in this case. Bill B. may have been utterly unapologetic, which did not win him many fans, but his contention that it was a technicality was sort of correct, when you consider that it is not illegal to tape from other areas in the stadium, only the sideline. Really, give asterisks to everyone, pretty much everyone knows how many steroids the 70's Steelers did, let's take their championships away, lets take away Manning's championship because of pumped in crowd noise, or Pittsburgh's because they intentionally didn't maintain their shitty field, or any team who has had anyone ever test positive for PEDs. Where does it end? It ends when people quit their bitching.
