So would say wiping vaseline on a pitch is just as bad as intentionally throwing a game because you put some money on it?

Well one you are trying to cheat to win and the other you are cheating to lose so I would say they are different. However both are cheating and should be dealt with.
The Pats cheated and the punishment was the $ and draft pick, the Jets cheated and got two 10 yard penalties. So they both cheated, both got caught and both got dealt with as the league and/or its officals see fit.
All I am saying is I think this goes much further than the Pats tapings signals from the opposition. I am (personally) getting tired of most people jumping on the Pats like they are the first pro team to ever cheat at their sport to win. EVERYONE DOES IT! It doesn't matter if you are Arod yelling "Got It", Pats taping some plays, F1 stealing info or Juicing up to win a homerun title. Cheating is cheating no matter how tiny or big it may effect the outcome, if at all.
I am not defending the Pats for what they did, but I am defending them for the way they have been treated by most. Putting an * besides their 3 superbowl titles, give me a break.
They are the best team to grace a football feild in the 2000's and will continue to be so for many years. No one can take that away from them and I think they proved that by bending over the Chargers a week after all this happening, that takes a lot of skill and preperation after everything they had to deal with just days before.
Just my opinion maybe it is a little cloudy because I do believe they are not the only team to have done this, regardless I hope they continue strong and go the SB once again. Too bad Arizona will beat them to win it all
