That was a different time. I don't think that's going to be the case here.

The Patriots are now the Lance Armstrong of the NFL. And I kind of feel bad for Lance (even though he is supposedly a huge asshole) because there is a very good chance that his competition in those TDFs was doing the exact same things he was doing (which mirrors the Patriots' claim that everyone else was taping other teams so why are we the only ones being punished for it). There is certainly a possibility that the Patriots could have won the Spygate SBs without cheating, but we'll never know. Just like it's possible that McGwire or Sosa could have broken the HR record without steroids.

And then there is Bonds. His reputation forever tarnished even though he would have been a HOF-er before he voluntarily enlarged his head. No one outside of SF celebrates that guy, and no one outside of NE will respect the Pat's championships from the 2000s.
