As a former NFL player, I'd always hear the old saying, 'If you're not cheating, you are not trying.' Fairly sad isnt it? Well, I think that is why they got caught and that statement was taken by the Patriots to heart. Unfortuitously, cheating is...

Who'd have thought it'd come to the? What has professional activities arrive at with cheating? NBA, MLB, and Hockey have already been caught cheating and as an activity that cheats now the NFL is joining the rest of the professional sports leagues.

As a former NFL player, I'd always hear the word, 'If you are not cheating, you're not trying.' Pretty unfortunate isnt it? Well, I do believe that statement was taken by the Patriots to heart and that is why they got caught. Regrettably, cheating is a lot more widespread in the NFL than supporters realize.

When I played in the NFL, there were several teams that I played against that by 'secret' did actually know what our plays were. There were teams that I played against where I'd ask myself, 'How on earth do they know what plays we are working'?

You should know that cheating runs rampant in the NFL and it's not only the Patriots that are cheating. Yes, they got caught because they built their cheating too obvious. But make no mistake about it, it's a well known fact that NFL teams cheat to some extent. If you think you know anything at all, you will certainly wish to check up about how to seduce.

Within my NFL career I was taught that a group has to do what-ever it could do to get an advantage over the opposition, and that cheating is considered okay so long as you dont get caught. It is only a part of the game. However in my heart I knew that cheating was wrong. As professional sports teams and professional players, we're said to be setting an example of the greatest level of sports. But we are maybe not setting an example. We are not playing fair. Maybe you can say cheating is good because everybody is doing it but I do believe it's wrong. I really believe in fair competition and what's happening in professional activities with cheating can be a shame.

Still another large problem brought on by professional teams cheating is that it teaches our children that cheating is okay - as long as you dont get caught. As pro athletes and sports teams, we must set a good example and show kids that cheating is wrong.

Cheating is a black and white
