Should they get credit for an undefeated season, when they cheated and the NFL found them guilty?

The thing I find funny about the question and some of the answers is you claim the Pats cheated prior years when you cannot actually back it up with any factual evidence just like the Spygate incident. You can say all you want the Pats cheated as a team, but if you bothered to read the facts of what happened the Patriots coaches and players never saw the contents of the tape and could never have sued its contents. It as taken away by security right way in the first half of the 1st quarter when it took place. Maybe if you haters and so called true football fans bothered to look up info you would actually know your sports better. Also to add something how can a player cheat a block, a thrown ball, a catch with coverage or a field goal. get real.

The NFL said the Patriots committed a "rules infraction, which did not impact upon the outcome of the game, or any game"... therefore they did not cheat... they were fined for the rules infraction, and punished with a loss of a first round draft pick.
So NO.. they do not deserve an asterisk by their record. They have legitimately won each and every one of their games this season.
Get over it... it was nearly 4 months ago.... hating is making you look like a whiney grasping child.
Go Patriots 15-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They didn't do anything different than all of the other teams out there - why do you think most of the coaches have stayed so quiet on the subject. Look at the Jets record this year - the coach was just being a whiner.

I hate the Pats more than any other team right now. I don't think they are the best team in history. I want them to lose in the playoffs because of this AND their obnoxious fans, HOWEVER, I think they won their games legitimately. Hence, they should NOT get an * by their record.

* - Not all games won by more than 20 points.
I'm beginning to think the haters who posts this question over and over for probably thousands of times already are suffering from some kind of mental deficiency. You still dont get it? Ok let me repeat the answer 5 times: Patriots killed your team, Patriots killed your team, Patriots killed your team, Patriots killed your team, Patriots killed your team.
There. Now you dont have to post the same question for 4 days, hehehe.

No, because the tapes had no impact on the game itself. They were confiscated before it began, and New England hasn't cheated in another game since then.

asterisk every team then every time they break a rule. good idea. ten yards for holding? asterisk! oops false start! asterisk!
oh and next time you go 70 mph in a 65 you should lose your license
dont worry your fave team might improve to 7-9 next year

They shouldn't have had a chance to play the entire freakin' season, in my mind. But guess what? They let it be this way; i don't care if they go 19-0, people will still throw dirt on their perfect season and those people will be justified in doing so.
And how is losing 1 draft pick good enough puishment?

You actually thought they could lose to the Jets. Anyways, both teams were doing it, just the Patriots got caught. They beat them a few weeks ago without this so-called cheating.

No! The only difference between them and the rest of the league is they got caught. I don't even like the Pats, but people need to let this go .
