Belichick Says Giants Cheated By Mickey Sartre, NewsLampoon cub reporter February 4, 2008, Phoenix—Rather than take the loss honorably and go home, immediately after suffering a bitter defeat to the New York Giants in last night’s Super Bowl, a surly New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick charged New York with cheating.
“But I’m not just talking about the Giants football team,” a profusely-sweating Belichick said. “I’m also talking about the New York Jets, the New York Times, the entire city of New York. It's no secret everyone there hates me, and do you honestly believe they could have beaten us without cheating? Come on.” Last September, Belichick was charged with cheating by the New York Jets when Patriots assistant Matt Estrella was caught taping the Jets’ coaches sending in defensive plays. Just last week the Patriots were again charged with cheating by using similar methods to win the 2002 Super Bowl. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell fined Belichick $500,000 and the Patriots organization $250,000 for the September incident. Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) says he is “very concerned” and wants to talk with Goodell about the 2002 incident, first reported by the New York Times. “Did you see all the cameras here [last night]?” said Belichick. “They sure as hell weren’t ours. And there’s no way they’re all the Giants’ either. Where do you think they all came from?” Reminded that the game was televised by FOX, Belichick shot back: "And where are they headquartered? I certainly didn't ask them to come. Look at all the cameras in this room. Where are all you guys from? Don't tell me. New York?" (Posted at 5:10 a.m.; updated 7:44)
