In 2007, the NE Patriots were accused of videotaping coaches signals on the sidelines by one of their former coaches Eric Mangini. They were reprimanded by the league after this allegation was proved to be true. They were punished by losing a 1st round draft pick and paying a heavy fine. This is when the backlash against the Patriots began fueled by the Media who dubbed the scandal "Spygate." The Patriots were labeled as cheaters, and many people thought that this was the reason they were winning so much. The team was fueled by this talk and ripped off an undefeated regular season.
My theory is that the NFL did not want "cheaters" to win the Super Bowl because that would be bad publicity for the league. The Patriots undefeated season would be forever tainted by that scandal.
Anyone else think that it was fishy that news of the Patriots videotaping the Super Bowl practices for the Rams was leaked on the eve of the Super Bowl against the Giants?
