Everyone saying Finns is "delusional" and the theory that they possibly may have been instructed to stand in a line like that is "ludicrous" are beyond ignorant.
COACHES HAVE BEEN UTILIZING LITTLE CHEAP TACTICS LIKE THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. That's why I always
when people talk about cheating on this board. All of a sudden, Tom Brady and Bill's accomplishments are all null and void because of "spygate" (Brady's winning percentage and the Pats PPG are higher since Spygate than before it.) Unless you're just a stubborn individual, I think it's safe to say that whatever the Pats were doing, they probably werent the only ones. I am by no means excusing what they did, and I agree it should at least be mentioned while discussing the dynasty. But to completely disregard their accomplishments and assume they were the only ones doing it is laughable and naive.
Ever heard of bullpens using binoculars to steal signs? Scuffing the ball? Things like this have always been happening. Pete Rose got caught betting on his team as a manager. How do we know he wasn't doing the same as a player and manipulating games for his financial gain? Do we completely ignore all of the Big Red Machine's accomplishments in the 70's because of that?
Do you really think it's that farfetched that someone instructed these guys to stand a certain way to hopefully throw a player off balance or trip him up?
Teams cheat, players cheat. They get caught, they apologize and are punished, and we all move on. Im not saying these guys definitely formed some kind of wall for an advantage, but it's definitely possible. Do you realize how much pressure these coaches are under? Anything to win my friend, anything to win.
