Football News

It won't be sold this way, but whatever happens to the Patriots the rest of this season, I'll call them the greatest team in football history. Why?

They're 17-0. They've matched the mark of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and they've done it against superior competition. But, because of the way the schedule lines up nowadays, they have to go through an additional 2 games to finish the season undefeated.

No concern about Bellicheck's cheating?

On this year's record? None at all.

1) It was caught at halftime in the first game of the year.

2) Therefore, any advantage that may have been gained by it (had it continued) wouldn't have had time to be used.

Even if he had been analyzing the signals in real-time (which I doubt), the Pats outscored their opponent 24-7 in the second half, when there was no opportunity to gain a competitive advantage.

The videotaping had no effect on the team's record, hence, there's no concern for me.
