Besides the fact that they area a great team and have many super bowl rings, would you have stooped ot the level of cheating to win games?

No way!! how could you live with your self knowing that you were dishonest in victory, it must way on you at some point.

I have a rule on my team that no player is allowed to cut the opposition, as we all have jobs and no one gets paid, in our first game we had one of our best players attempt to "cut" he is no longer with our program.
Reason being is prior to the game being played the other team and I had an agreement not to cut, when i saw the tape i felt like I had went back on my word, even though I had no idea it was happening and i had told my players not to do it!

Winning at all cost is not for me and maybe that is why my team is 1-7, but i will take it rather then 7-1 knowing i was cheating to get wins, at night i sleep well knowing that my teams plays with class and pride, we teach proper techniques all clean and we have a "zero tolerance" for dirty play...i wish all my opponents did the same!
 the pats will never be looked at the same, they will always have a cloud over them or at least as long as belichek is there and they should, this is not the first time they have been caught cheating..any way thats my thoughts.

p.s i would like to start a drive to get "cut blocking" out of football as only bad things can happen and do from it!!

Coming from a background of coaching o-line men I would have to agree with you that cut blocking a very brutal thing. Especially at the minor league level because many of the players think they know how to do a proper cut block when they really don't. I would have to say that a cut block is ok, but it has to be taught properly and not used in the open field.
