so i'm watching espn not too long ago and they're talking about the patriots and being caught cheating. the question was posed as to whether or not it should hurt the legacy of the pats and coach bellichick. mike golic and sean salsbury both were insistent on they're stand of no. both pretty much said if your not cheating your not trying, and that making jerseys slippery and etc. are a part of the game. my only problem with this is that is that i have seen both of these guys vilify barry bonds for cheating in baseball when he's never been found guilty of anything(although we all know he's took something) and when bonds allegedly took steroids or whatever they weren't illegal in the sport. the point i'm trying to make is cheating should be cheating no matter the sport no matter the color of the participants of that sport no matter the feelings we have for the particular players and or coaches. if its okay to vilify bonds and put asterisks next to the records he's accomplished as a player, why is there not the same out cry when it comes to this particular situation. did the patriots cheat when they won they're world championships?? i'm not sure, just as i'm not sure bonds cheated during his monster season in smashing the single season home run record. but the simple fact is in both situations we don't know. but if its wrong for bonds............it should be wrong for everyone.
