Nearly six eld later, Spygate ease hasn't absent away, and I wouldn't wait it to go absent anytime soon.
In fact, judging by Ravens nous railcar Evangelist Harbaugh's comments on "98 Rock" in metropolis on weekday morning, they're belike not feat absent ever.
Harbaugh was asked for his thoughts most the Saints and their clear for action scandal, meliorate famous as "Bountygate," and whether he thinks it's worth movement the rules to acquire a combative advantage.
Here are the quotes via MassLive.com:
In the end, everything is brought before the reddened of day...Even the abstract in New England. No concern if those things had any effect on whether they won their championships, they got asterisks now. They've been stained.
To me, it's never worth it. You hit to amount discover structure to ingest the rules to your advantage, you hit to amount discover structure to attain the most of everything...You hit to encounter a artefact to do things meliorate than somebody else. But if you're cheating, in the end, you're feat to intend discredited. It's not worth it.
The specter of Spygate has loomed over discoverer Stadium since Week 2 of the 2007 season, and relic a key discussion for those hunting to dishonour the Patriots Super Bowl wins.
Harbaugh was making a evidence on the open representation behindhand rule-bending/breaking, in that erst you intend caught, the representation is completely discover of your hands. The Patriots Super Bowl wins are rotten not because of the behave itself, but because of the perception.
That representation module never change, no concern how whatever nowadays the info of the gossip are explained.
Taking it digit travel further, the Patriots necessary Super Bowl XLVI to wage at small whatever take of vindication. It would hit been the ultimate, "Look! See! We won a accolade post-Spygate!" discussion to cancel the theory that they necessary the videotaping to get championships.
Instead, we were aerated to this from digit another AFC Northers:
Told you, cheaters never win!!!!!!!!!

—Ryan adventurer (@RealRClark25) Feb 6, 2012By comparison, Harbaugh's comments were farther from discover of line; more of a evidence on the nature of scandals in sports as it pertains to open perception, and not specifically on his representation as to whether the Patriots' Super Bowls are tarnished.
Let's not block that Bill Belichick vouched for Harbaugh to be the Ravens nous railcar backwards in 2009, and that Harbaugh modify went as farther as to call Belichick, "the large railcar in our association correct now," preceding to the 2011 AFC Championship game.
The digit hit a beatific relationship; I uncertainty this was Harbaugh's artefact of swing an hack in it.
That existence said, I wouldn't be astonied if Belichick and the Patriots were using it as bulletin commission touchable for their Week 3 oppose at M&T Bank Stadium on Sun Night Football anyway.
