As for Belichick, I think in his defense these spying issues were at the beginning of the year and really did not affect this year, which is what he's being honored for.

On the flip side, how much of their success can really be attributed to Belichick? Hard to say I guess. In the end though, you can't beat 16-0 and I have no problem with him being recognized for it.
I think this spying stuff is blown way out of proportion. As was stated over and over in print & on tv what BB was doing was being done by many teams but the unwritten code of the NFL was dont ask, dont tell. The Jets coach broke that code and the media latched onto a story.

Did BB cheat? Sure, but so were most other teams. Its much to-do over nothing.
