It would honestly be pretty badass if it turned out the reason the Cards have been so consistent is that they've breached the information systems of the other 29 teams. I'm not suggesting that they did but I would suggest that it's unlikely they only did it to one team. I don't even know how you would begin to punish a team for something like that.

Well it might just be one team as the story goes they just used the passwords of Jeff Luhnow that he used when he worked for the Cardinals.

Are you kidding? This is so much worse than what the Patriots have ever done in the aggregate, it's stupefying to read that someone has the opinion otherwise!!!

This is not taping defensive signals (Something that is widely accepted in baseball) or letting a 1/2 PSI out of a football (equivalent of putting Vaseline on the baseball). This is a breach of another teams internal intelligence by another competing team. This is sports espionage.

Sorry to see you lose all credibility before your 10th post...

Oh I skimmed through the article quickly and didn't realize it was most likely just an old password. That lends itself well to it only being a one team breach.

Hacking computer databases is not as bad as sticking a pin in a football?

Wow...just wow.

I think we can chalk that jab at the Patriots up to trolling.

Re: Luhnow using same password for years, couldn't help but think of this:


Last tech company I worked at, we had some "friends of the engineering dept" fix typos on our major competitor's site.

It's a pretty big deal. The cardinals employee(s) accessed the database containing passwords of current and former employees. Yes, they apparently did this because of Luhnow but every employee's password was available. For individuals such as Luhnow who reuse passwords across applications/systems, they've technically been compromised.

Let's suspend Tom Brady a few more games for this somehow. I hear he's behind all instances of rulebreaking in sports today.
