Spygate is everlasting stain on Patriots
No matter how much all parties want scandal to be forgotten, it won't be

No, we’re not quite done yet. I know a lot of people want it to be over, this untidy little scandal called Spygate, but it’s not over, nor should it be. We still have plenty of questions left unanswered. But that didn’t stop Roger Goodell from trying. With the simple gesture of a furrowed brow and the sly evoking of a parental prerogative, the glib and telegenic NFL commissioner couldn’t make the unsettling mess of Spygate go away with a few simple words.
...
If Spygate has come to an end, it’s not because the story no longer has legs. It’s only because Goodell wants it to go away. But we have tapes that conclusively tell a story that the team broke the rules. We have a coach and an organization that has repeatedly lied before, and now they deserve our suspicions that they probably are lying again when they say they didn’t understand rules so clear-cut and simply worded that only a blind man or a fool would misinterpret them.
So let’s begin with the first lie and see how it keeps us in a distrustful mood. We’re supposed to believe that the genius, Belichick, can read the most elaborate offenses and defenses in football history, but can’t read simple English in the NFL rulebook?
