thats pretty dumb. destroying them is only going to fuel the conspiracies and make the media surmise more about what was really going on.

[/ QUOTE ]

you're right, that's exactly what happened.

this has more to do with how retarded the media is than anything. when i made that thread before it was cause peter king was asking the same thing i was: why exactly did this whole story fizzle away?

When I was at training, one of the DIs would always say "if you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough." Cheating is pretty awesome

Cuz there are no more tapes thus no evidence. They can't ask..whats on the tapes..is it worse...show us the tapes..blah blah blah
Media moves on to other things.

[Sickboy]

it was a massively overblown story anyways.

The cheating aspect is blah
The penalty was more of a bitch slap to BB for being so damn arrogant than anything else

whatever. as of this point there are only 4 locks to end up with winning records on the pats schedule. add 3 winning teams to that in the playoffs. if the other teams like the chargers and ravens do tank the rest of their season, should we talk [censored] about the patriots's undefeated season? 7/19 is not that much better than 5/17

FWIW, nowhere in that story does Shula say the Patriots deserve an asterisk.

per DVOA, the Pats have had the 6th hardest schedule in the league. the future schedule is 17th, but that still averages out to a harder than average schedule. "above .500" can mean 9-7 or 15-1.
