Winning with grace and class, and winning the right way

I never understood what that meant until tape gate. It is always exciting to see the underdog win in sports. I think that is half the reason people watch sports. It is the whole reason why people watch sports when their team isn’t playing.

When Bill Belichick got caught video taping the New York Jets defensive coaches it made a statement loud and clear. It made a statement that everyone of us has known for a long time. Cheaters win! I think this form of the New England Patriots are footballs version of the New York Yankees (or Tony Stewart if your into NASCAR).

It wasn’t the crime that annoyed me. I think there is some form of sign steeling that goes on with every team in the NFL, it was the perpetrator. Bill Belichick is a winner. He is a great coach because of it. But he will stop at nothing to win. He will do whatever it takes. These type of people are who usually win. It was the same thing with the Bulls and Michael Jordan. He knew the NBA wasn’t going to call traveling because he was MJ so he took advantage of it. The same is true with Bill Belichick.

That’s another reason the Colts Super Bowl Championship is so special. Cause the did it the right way. Teams who do it the right way rarely win championships. So for a team to do it the right way is special.
