my favorite excerpt from the decision is
"mayer further does not appear to contest the fact that a team is evidently permitted by the rules to engage in a wide variety of arguably 'dishonest' conduct to uncover an opponent’s signals. For example, a team is apparently free to take advantage of the knowledge that a newly hired player or coach takes with him after leaving his former team, and it may even have personnel on the sidelines who try to pick up the opposing team’s signals with the assistance of lip-reading, binoculars, note-taking, and other devices. In addition, even mayer acknowledged in his amended complaint that '[t]eams are allowed to have a limited number of their own videographers on the sideline during the game.'"

this pretty much sums up the absurdity of all the spygate claims and tainted titles.
