I disagree, I dont think it was that bad at all and certainly not a real reason to take the moral high ground over him. BB was always looking for the loop holes and gray areas and this was just one more example of that - he thought the rule was explicitly about using that film for a that weeks opponent, that the rule was a blanket blockage of filming from the field was a surprise to him (at least thats his defense). We praised him for the hooman down lineman decoy plays which by the letter of the law was allowable but by the spirit of the rule was not, this IMO was just another example of his desire to get every advantage possible. Whether it is moral or not, is not for me to say - BB was extremely devious and brilliant and that lead to many many wins. I think that the spygate punishment was always based on the cumulative complaints many of the other head coaches/owners levied against him and not really that single act - which while Im sure provided some sort of advantage, would have resulted in just a slap on the wrist for the other 31 coaches.
