Come on now, counselor. "Partners in crime" is a well known figure of speech.

I know that's what I'd do! Especially after my buddymish destroyed evidence from the last time we got caught cheating.

But

But

But there is no RULE against hacking into an opposing teams database, so it was A OK.

Welp,

Embrace the full turn.

I'm not too up in arms about this since I simply just don't give a **** ...

but we already have DJ, Cards homer, defending the breach saying it provided no competitive advantage since the morons who 'hacked' the system leaked the information rather than continuing to cheat and gain an actual competitive advantage

that's about as good as Amnorix and his "well other teams were doing it, too!" defense every time the Pats get caught and forfeit a 1st round pick

that dude is still trying to point to science stating the Pats "didn't even cheat!" after their owner accepted the penalties handed down by the NFL (steep ones, at that).

That's not what innocent people do ... ever.

Very odd to "hack" the system of a non rival, non division team. Like has been mentioned some idiot probably had the password and used it without higher level consent or knowledge.

Ridiculous shit and going to look bad regardless.

Maybe, but it also could have just been the one team with a formal Cardinals exec with bad password security.

Not really that odd, when you consider how much the front offices dislike each other.

The teams may not really be rivals anymore, but the people working in the front offices certainly are.

Who's to say they didn't do something similar with other teams, too?

-I have no dog in this fight-

I will agree, though, because I remember when they posted the Astros hack on deadspin everyone was like, "lol what a moron."

So, competitive advantage or no, it does seem like a move made out of spite. So I'll let DJ have that one.

As for Amnorix steering the thread towards NE's cheating ... once your owner accepts penalties levied down for cheating, arguing that your team didn't actually cheat is about the most ridiculous thing you could do, well, unless you're a total idiot homer.

Could be, if this was authorized on a remotely high level. The difference would be opportunity, I would think.

The Black Squaks?

Yes, actually, hacking into other peoples computers is something that the government has rules about

Well, unless other teams have former cardinal executives who don't change their passwords and put information on an extremely vulnerable platform, I'd say it's highly unlikely.
