The one thing that disappoints me is that Belichick (or whoever was giving immediate direction to Walsh) was very aware that this was either against the rules or pushing the envelope to a great degree. While I always have interpreted that videotaping was a rule infraction, I accepted that he was trying to exploit a grey area in the rulebook and it backfired on him. Now I'm disappointed that Belichick would take a risk like this. Maybe every team did it and tried to conceal it all the same, but it still is a risk.
SpyGate is behind me now, Belichick is our coach in '08 and I think that gives us a heck of a chance
