would a patriots loss

It has nothing to do with conference rivalry or them winning or losing. I just don't like the lack of humility shown when they were caught cheating. Yes they should shrug it off and move on, AFTER they are contrite and accept that what they did was wrong.

That arrogance and disregard for the NFL front office as well as the rest of the league makes me dislike them. NOT them winning or losing.

Hear, hear! I fully agree! In fact, I'm very disappointed the NFL did not come down on them harder! They cheated! The rules are very specific when it comes to filming games and the Patriots just completely ignored them. Do you think Tony Dungee would think of doing what Belichick did? I don't think so. It's like playing poker with the guys at your best friend's house and then finding out he marked the cards. What would you do.. just say "no biggie" and open a new deck of cards? Wouldn't you feel like your trust had been violated?

At the very least I would've stricken their WHOLE draft for 2008 and made them ineligible for post-season play this year. I guarantee you wouldn't see anyone else cheat just to get an edge on the other teams!
