Do you think opposing teams have a right to complain that they may have been robbed in the superbowl...or is this being blown out of proportion?

Yes, your name is "uncledaddy" which is really hard to take seriously, but you make a valid point. You can't bring all of the other teams into the equation of cheating. We do not know that any of the other teams cheat. We can only work off of what we know, which is the evidence pointing towards the Patriots. It's comparable to steroids in baseball. SF fans and other loyalists try to justify Bonds using steroids with saying that there are many others who use it that don't get caught. We don't know that. You can't justify your team/player's wrong doing by blaming everyone else. It's called being biased and close-minded.

Everybody cheats?
EVERYONE DOES NOT CHEAT.
Just because YOU might be a cheater don't lump EVERYone into you ball of feces.
There's NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WRONGDOING.
And especially not the EXCUSE that everyone does it so it's ok for anyone to do it.
Whether the owner, other coaches, players, et al knew or didn't know of Belichick cheating, EVERY VICTORY that the Patriots have garnished during the tenure of Belichick as HC is suspect.
From the first pre-season game to the end of his career should be marked with an *C*, to denote that he was caught cheating and it's not known to what extent prior to or thereafter.
I don't know about you but I do know about me and knowing me, I can and DO forgive him to the extent that I can as a HUMAN BEING; but ALSO beCAUSE I'm ONLY a human being, no matter if the teams he coached won or lost; no matter if the present or future teams he coaches wins or loses, I'll always wonder if their was and is and will be cheating done on his part.
His cheating has also cast a pall over the others that he was and is and will be associated with his entire career.
And it's too bad too cause he has been and continues to be coach to some VERY TALENTED PLAYERS.
Having said that…
There WAS and IS NO REASON FOR HIM TO CHEAT.
P.S. Their defeat of the Chargers yesterday, 9/16/07, now with Norv Turner and new coaching staff says nothing about prior cheating.
The Patriot players played well enough to win, or did they(?) :-) and the Charger players didn't.
HOPEFULLY; IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

They are absolutely legit. The fact that this is an issue is ludicrous. Sign stealing has been apart of sports for a long time (that is why you see coaches cover their mouths when calling plays.). Anyway, I think the Patriots proved last night, they didn't need it in the first place. They have a great team with a great coach. It should be an interesting season.

They won on superior talent. Play signals are only useful for about 15 seconds. Once a team gets to the line a quality QB like Brady changes the routes and plays to suit the defense anyway. And guess what, all teams spy the signals. New England just pulled a Watergate.

I don't know about you,but I am a huge Pats fan,and I think everyone needs to SHUT UP!! Everyone cheats,I don't care what anyone says. Yes,the Pats did and they deserved to get punished.We would not be going on and on about this if a bad team did this. The Patriots are awesone this year because of their COACH! Brady is the sexiest QB and I really don't care what anyone says about the Pats because of what they did to the Chargers lastnight. Whatch out everyone cause the Patriots are going to do great this season!

EVERY team does this. they've done it for decades. the patriots just took it a step further with modern technology. i wonder how many other teams were using video and audio stealth technology?
it doesn't impact the game as much as you think, more than half of original play calls are changed on audibles or hot routes.
they are legit.

With the way the Patriots beat the Chargers, most people know that saying the superbowls aren't legit is a load of bs.

Yes, the Super Bowls are legit...Its being blown way out of proportion...and Andy Reid(Eagles) said basically that he thought the Super Bowl video allegations were crap...so, he ought to know...He was there for one of them...

I think all those wins should be marked with an *** that means "May have cheated"
