In their first game of the season, the Patriots were caught illegally videotaping the opposing team's coaches. The advantage they would have gained from this was to figure out what their signals meant and know what plays they were calling in future games. It was a very big deal in the media and it also came out that they had been caught doing this last season as well when they played the Green Bay Packers. Then yesterday, a Boston newspaper reported that the Patriots illegally videotaped the St. Louis Rams' final walkthrough practice the day before the 2001 Super Bowl - a game in which the Patriots narrowly defeated the heavily-favored Rams who couldn't seem to do anything offensively until the very end. While that allegation has yet to be proven, it's obvious that certain people in the media are trying to taint the legacy of the Patriots' dynasty.

All that being said, I'm just happy the Giants beat them.
