Thanks for that. It puts a huge smile on my face. Any bad news for the Patriots is good news as far as I'm concerned. Cheating SOBs. . .

More reason for Big Bad Bill to run up scores next year. . .

100 Million dollars?! Damn, maybe this William Gary character should have concentrated more on making tackles during that season, he had an astounding 1 tackle in 6 games, than crying over what happened 7 years ago. I may not have all the facts about this cheating scandal as I haven't been in the U.S. for much of it, but didn't the Pats allegedly only tape the Rams' red zone plays? The Rams did not even reach the Red Zone until the 4th quarter, if my memory serves correct.

Well, you can run a red-zone play elsewhere on the field, and I believe they said they were getting stuffed in the red zone until they scored a TD on a play they hadn't used in the walk-through. In a 3-point game, it could have made a difference.

And besides, I don't think you get to knowingly, willfully, systematically violate the rules and then play the, "Well, it doesn't matter that we cheated because it didn't make a difference in the game" card anyway.
