Mangini only stopped the taping because he didn't want it to happen as the home team. Both he and Belichick seem to agree that the wording of the rule was entirely ambiguous. (If you've ever read the rule, it stated that taping was only prohibited during a game, never anything about practice. That's since been changed.) Now, that doesn't excuse Belichick for the rest of the spying, I'm just noting in the immediate instance that started it all.
Moreover, on-field defensive signals are already known by the teams well before the game begins. That's taped pretty much everywhere else by every team already. The name of the game is cheat so long as you don't get caught. The Pats are just really bad at not getting caught. I'm only surprised they weren't the ones caught for Bountygate. Would've loved to see that suspension go to Belichick.
And again, since you seem to ignore the facts, I'll point out that Kraft not only apologized profusely for Spygate, but that both during and after the scandal pretty much everybody in the NFL talked about how genuine a person he is all the time. Hate the Pats if you wish, the more the merrier on that front, but don't wrongfully trash Kraft for it.
Anyway, if you're going to go on a delusional anti-Pats rant without any care for the facts in the matter, feel free.
