Disturbing article detailing how long BB has been cheating and to what lengths they have gone. Goes back to his Browns days.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. About time the NFL actually does something that neuters the patsies. It disgusts me that they have cheated their way to many wins and Super Bowl titles, hopefully it goes the way of Bonds/McGuire/Sosa. Everyone knows what they did to cheat and treated justly.
I do believe the league has backed off for years because the patsies help sell the NFL, it's all about revenue. They need a team like them - a HOF low round draft pick QB, "no-name" players coming up big, years of "excellence". Thing is, most of their big wins are because of cheating. One that sticks with me after reading the article is the Rams Super Bowl. They absolutely beat the Rams based on having taped them - knowing Faulk would be returning kickoffs, new Rams offensive plays they should have no business deciphering yet they were ready for.
What the league needs before they actually would do something is a team or teams that can carry the league. Right now the new league darlings are the Niners and Ravens. Niners don't have the feel of a great team, but the Ravens do. The ascension of the Ravens may just spell the end of the patsies getting the calls and league backdoor help to continue to win.
All that being said, the NFL needs to lay the hammer on them. At first they tried to say they were not taping anything important, quickly it's come out they were taping the sidelines of the Bengals. BB has come out with a statement that "to the best of his knowledge" nothing wrong happened...you don't say "to the best of my knowledge" unless you're guilty and want to play the plausible deniability card. It would be very interesting to see where this "do your job" video team has been. Be interesting if they just happen to be at their next opponents games.
Enough is enough.
