Sorry for stealing your thunder BelichickFan, but I couldn't wait.

Steve Young's 49ers had players on there team during their Superbowl run they otherwise would not have had it not been ceating the salary cap.

This was not breaking a ruls stated in some memo sent out to teams.

This was cheating the collective bargaining agreement.

"It costs less to cheat in the NFL than it does in the NBA. That was the message following a "settlement" of alleged violations by the San Francisco 49ers in shady contract deals for Steve Young, Brent Jones, Lee Woodall and Jim Druckenmiller made by former 49ers bosses Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark, both now with the Cleveland Browns.

Compared with the five No. 1 draft choices and $3.5 million fine it cost the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves in their October case involving the illegal secret contract of Joe Smith, the NFL penalties were mere slaps on the wrist — fines of $400,000 or less plus the loss of a No. 3 and a No. 5 draft choice by the 49ers."

Instead of his holier than thou BS about "being in the opponents' huddle" he should ask himself about how his team was able to acquire talent. Hypocrite.

That shady contract deal to Jim Druckenmiller really paid off, eh? He was really good in the XFL.

No problem - steal away - use your camera if you like

I think our offseason project should be to go through NFL history and find examples of "cheating" by stealing signs, watching practices, whatever. This particular one took about 10 seconds to find.

The one for Young worked out pretty well.
