@ProFootballTalk: If an NFL team was accused of hacking another team's computers, everyone would be losing their minds. Especially if it was the Patriots.

Should not take long for the Pats to be blamed..

Crap, there's goes the 2017 first rounder.

Damn, if the Jets did that they would be so screwed. I can see Goodell hammering them with a twenty dollar fine and loss of a goddamn snack.

The snack, too?

Just came here to post this. But we all know that this is nowhere near as bad as videotaping from an unapproved location in front of 80,000 people.

Yep, the Pats '17, '18 and '19 first rounders for "creating a culture of success by cheating" whereas other organizations have had to revert to cheating to win.

Honestly, this is huge. It's freaking corporate espionage. This isn't Woody talking about Revis, and God knows it's not Spygate or Deflatgate. Could this be the event that we have been waiting for?

The best part of this is that it's happening with a highly-successful organization that constantly pats itself on the back for "doing things the right way."

Maybe if they weren't cheating the Sox would've swept them again.

Read a little about this in some baseball forums I'd never been to before (cause baseball lolz)

The thing I keep seeing is "MLB's Spygate"

UGH

Sorry but accessing someone's password list from when they were with the Cards and using that to access the Astros computers is a ****ing felony, not a goddamn camera placement issue.

****ing Goodell, man.

The funniest thing will be how no one will say this had anything to do with their success or cry about asterisks. They only hate us, NFL is king

I just trolled, Fox, CNN, MLB network, ESPN 1,2,34, etc and nothing. Nada.

If it was the Pats, it would be 24/7.

This is 10000000000000000000 f***ing times worse than "spygate" or "deflategate" (if true)

"Insider" MLB officials have floated possible punishments for St. Louis
1) No soft serve cone service for stadium patrons after the seventh inning stretch
2) No "Mike and Molly" reruns on WSLC
3) Loss of 4th round draft pick in '16, '17, '18, or '19........team's choice
4) "Pet Night" cancelled

LOL. I just briefly browsed a baseball forum about this. 70% of the posts are about the Patriots being cheaters and pictures of BB with a Cards uniform. Barely anything about the actual story. People are pathetic.

See, this is a scandal. Someone's going to end up in prison over this, and it's orders of magnitude worse than any of the "integrity of the game" scandals that have hit the NFL in my lifetime. Yet no one will really care because it's baseball and it's St. Louis.

****, people didn't even care as much about an NBA ref openly fixing games as they did about the Patriots maybe letting a quarter of a PSI out of some footballs.

It's okay, just as long as they weren't deflating the baseballs.....

Let's see if this is the leading news story on every major news network....Or maybe a press conference asking to think about the children....or how about.....wait, who am I kidding, this will be old news by the weekend...

Yep, this actually is spying.

Hope it's true TBH. I know some St Louis Rams/therefore Cardinals fans who are always letting their butthurt feelings from SB36 linger and blast the Pats every chance they get. Nice to see how they react to their own team doing something worse.

Yup, it's happening. Maybe they can take away another draft pick.

Makes sense. Belichick is a consultant for the Cardinals.
