Did the Patriots cheat?

Probably. But I'm pretty sure that it didn't have anything to do with Brady hitting a triple-covered Moss.

No kidding, but they tried to cheat.

Okay. So do they all cheat, all the time, and the Pats just got caught?

I didn't know that was considered cheating. I thought it was common to observe the other team's strategies etc. They are usually prudent at covering up their mouths when giving specifics anyway.

Maybe I'm not seeing the whole problem (I didn't read much on it.), or it could be in an NFL clause.

Are they going to ban cameras? lol

Really it comes down to it's just the "morals" or "standards" of the sport not to steal signs or plays............kinda like not kicking your opponent in the nuts in an MMA fight, you just dont do it.

oh, and yes.....the NFL has absolutely made it clear that teams cannont spy and or record other teams coaches like that. That is one of the main reasons that the quarterback is now allowed a a headset in the helmet...

observing is one thing. Fliming and then observing and mastering the other teams play calls, thats just "puss".........kinda like my ****ing nephew in Madden..........
