Illegal taping, steroids, trimming cards, shilling auctions, what's the difference? None.

Spare us the sanctimony.

Sanctimony? Better on the pedestal than under it. I believe that most fans are more likely to defend their own team against cheating than others, but I'd rather see someone speak out against cheating that have to keep listening to the same old excuses that 'everyone does it' or that 'it isn't that big of a deal'.

I doubt that many, if any, read the article in the link I posted, so I'll mention that one of the things McGrath pointed out (whether or not it's true, I don't know) is that Goodell's punishing Brady and the Patriots might have been too severe because it was tossing a bone to the other owners who had put up with him looking the other way for so many years.
