Banta-Cain knows why Patriots cheated
It's official. The league has found the Patriots guilty of cheating, as coach Bill Belichick illegally authorized the use of video equipment in an attempt to steal defensive signals from the Jets on Sunday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell ruled.
The best perspective on this situation was delivered by outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, who is in his first year with the 49ers after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Patriots.
"When you lose a guy like me, you're going to do whatever it takes to get the edge to win," Banta-Cain said.
(He was joking, of course. "Please don't write that I was serious," he said.)
