I dunno Kevin, I think the Patriots definitely did wrong in Spygate; Bellichick wouldn't have accepted the penalty and apologized if it was on the NFL. Besides, the rule was in place before Spygate, and the memo was sent out to remind teams about the rule, since apparently a lot of teams were still recording from the sidelines. I believe two memos were sent out in total. If the Patriots were still doing it after that, then they should have known better.
If anything, Bellichick should have asked for clarification of the rule rather than just go ahead and do what he interpreted it to mean.
We can eat some humble pie and admit that the Patriots cheated, but at the same time, in the grand scale of things, it's not a huge violation of the game. I think most of it was overblown by the media, as they tried to do with Deflategate (which I agree with you, was much ado about nothing in the end).
I actually quite like the Cowboys.
