However, as bush league as that was, it's kind of funny and things like that have been going on in sports forever. As Brandon will tell you, LT would frequently send hookers to opponents at 5 in the morning. While it may cause players to lose a little sleep, it probably didn't effect the outcome of the game too much. However, taping practices prior to a Super Bowl matchup is unacceptable, and for that Belichick should never be forgiven. All of these things considered, he still has two other legitimate rings, so he has to be on this list, although you are right to question whether he should be #1 - where would you put him?

You're talking about a guy who's been reduced to pulling the fire alarms in his opponents' hotels at 1:00 AM the night before the game to gain a tactical advantage. (Yeah, that's right, I said it. Blaming it on an overeager fan is just too convenient an excuse for it not to be Bill.) Bill “Secretly Record Their Defense Practicing And Not Consider That Cheating” Belichick?
