They were caught doing something that the league deemed wrong with the payments and they were fined and lost picks. I have no issues with that and never claimed to having issues with it.

Point is, that they WERE able to retain players that they wouldn't have if they played by the rules. Several of those players, namely Davis, Sharp, and Elway, were the keys to the team. So, you can choose to not relive it, but the truth is, the broncos cheated to keep players that ultimately got them to two superbowls. The Chiefs get a 3rd round pick taken away for tampering, which gains them nothing, and the broncos get a 3rd round pick taken in exchange for cheating to get to 2 superbowls. Now, you tell me, does that seem equitable?
