When you cheat it's pretty easy to get 1st place

Pretty sad that they resorted to that... I wonder how many years they have been cheating without getting caught.

Pretty much every ex-player suggested that everybody tries this stuff. Remember, they all get paid to win games.
Bill Parcells said it's no big deal. Don Shula said it's no big deal. In fact, Shula said if the opposing coach was able to steal his signals, it was a black mark on him (Shula) not the guy trying to steal the signs. Now, if truth be told, why can't the defense use mikes and earpieces like the offense? Tempest in a teapot. Winners win, losers whine.

If you honestly think the Pats are the only team doing this, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Bottom line is that this sort of thing is why they went to electronic means for the offense. The owners have balked on the expense of doing the same thing for the defense, plus the competition committe like that O has the edge over D.
If this had been cameras and mikes in the opposing locker room, that would be an entirely different thing, but there can't be any expectation of privacy on the field during a game. The Pats got caught breaking a rule. The league will penalize them. Fine. But the next team that gets caught will get a worse penalties, and that won't be right since the league has the power to create a level playing field that takes manual codes out of the equation.
