That is what they are accused of in last Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
\nThe Patriots creamed the Jets. Chad Pennington got hurt. Not a very good day for a Jets fan, that is, until now!
\nWell, while us die-hard New York Jets fan were nursing our wounds over last Sunday’s results, this story appears:<\/a><\/p>\n

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets’ coaches, according to league sources.<\/span>
\nNFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets’ defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s cheating, plain and simple. Not what you would expect from the former Super bowl champs or from their coach, Bill Belichick.
\nI mean, with all that talent, do you need<\/span> to cheat? Where’s the integrity?
\nRoger Goodell sure hasn’t had it easy lately. First the Vick problem, now this.
\nI hope he holds the Patriots accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
