What Belichick did also had no personal gain to it IE money, like Pete Rose did.
I beg to differ with you along a different line. While Pete Rose profited monetarily, Belechick profited by "stealing" an unfair advantage; both were in completed disregard of the rules of their sports. Both gave their teams possible advantage. Rose, for his own personal greed; and Belechick for whatever reason you may care to offer. Job security, or anything else.
As many of our members have posted upon the idea of whom they thought were better teams; if the Pats are so good, shouldn't they be good as well with another coach? Yes, I am aware that I am beating the permanent barring of Belichick from the NFL. But that is because the greatest marketing event of football and possibly anything else; the Super Bowl may have been tainted by this action of Belechick.
Now, I heard that the Comissioner's office is now ordering the Pats to turn over all tapes they posess of this kind. As much as I like Madden, this story is not yet debunked. There may even be additional repercussions coming for the Pats and Belichick.
