Saw a yahoo article regarding P*ts fans pointing out that other team's fans LOVE to whine about P*ts cheating because it helps ease the pain of getting their ***** handed to them by the G.O.A.T.
				
			In the end it doesn't matter. The P*ts will always be associated with the taint of cheating. From the moment Eric Mangini exposed the P*ts filming operation AFTER telling BB to knock it off and being ignored the rest of the NFL world was made aware of the ridiculous extent to which the P*ts had gone to compile signal footage from other teams.
The P*ts will NEVER escape the stain of the asterisk because they have indeed cheated. Everyone knows it. They continue to cheat. Everyone knows this as well. P*ts fans can deny it all they like. Heck. You HAVE to deny it. What else can you do? Accept that your entire franchise is based on blatant, systematic cheating?
Where does that leave you? Oh ya. Chicago destroying you in the SuperBowl. But at least that team lost fair and square.
What makes me sad is all the truly talented players that have been on the P*ts team that will never be truly respected because the rest of the NFL world can't really respect anything they've done. How much of their accomplishments are their own and how much are based on the cheating?
The rings don't count. Those came because of the cheating.
The defensive stats? Easier when you know what play the offense is about to run. Sure your team still has to defend it, but that's so much easier to do when you know from the start what the offense is planning.
The offensive stats? That's ridiculous. The offense already has an advantage and when your offense gets the defensive signals just before the snap - you can't even begin to have respect for yourself as a professional.
And the worst part of it is, most of the P*ts players probably don't even know the extent of the cheating. All they know is that Br*dy made a GREAT audible at the line and WOW, was THAT play open! Man, good thing he audibled to a run there! Whew! Who knew the linebacker was going to drop into deep coverage and a lane would open up like that? Gosh that backup QB from Michigan is AMAZING! Except that whenever he gets hurt and somebody else has to play for a couple weeks they're amazing TOO. Weird.
Ultimately I just feel sorry for your fan base because you don't respect yourselves enough to want your team to win without cheating. It's sad really.
