Patriot-Gate Put to Rest

According to an ESPN.com piece, the NFL has released a statement claiming that all materials turned over by the Patriots in relation to the sideline-spying scandal have been destroyed. No further punishment is expected from the league. This puts to rest a nearly two week debacle for the Patriots, and for everyone in the media who blew this story out of proportion. One media member, who will remain nameless, actually went so far as to proclaim that Bill Bellichick would be forced to resign as the coach of New England after being called out for the cheater he was.

This was not the case. The Pats lost a draft pick. Bellichick lost a chunk of change. Can we all move on now, please? The Pats are 2-0 and laughing off the possibility of a 16-0 season, all the while looking like the most dominant team we’ve seen in football since the Colts won their first 14 games a few years ago. While the Patriots will more than likely not go undefeated, they are the odds-on favorite to run over the rest of the league on their way to their next Super Bowl title. Now that they have put this Camera-Gate nonsense to rest, I can only imagine that they will become more focused moving forward.
