Forever Tainted?

so this pats fan on here brought up something interesting, i thought i'd seek yall opinion.

he said he's glad the pats lost the superbowl, he'd rather they win it next season so that the public can see that they can win fairly.

my opinion....even if they did win it next year, ANY form of success the pats see from here on out will be tainted in the public's minds. this doesnt just concern the pats...what if roger clemens and barry bonds and the pats and pacman jones were all found innocent of all charges tomorrow....would it matter? wouldnt we still view them as criminals and cheats for a long time to come?

    Heres the way I see it... and this is just my opinion..

    But the Pats are gonna have a bad name for a while, and people are gonna have a hard time thinking that they really are doing a good job from here on out, and its gonna last a while.

    Lets just say next see they go undefeated agian, and win the Super Bowl... is anyone gonna believe that they made it there honestly.. probably not anyone except for fans of the Pats.

    And its unfornant for them, because I'm sure they will make it to the Super Bowl agian soon, but even I have a hard time thinking wow they are good.. in the back of my mind I'm still going think "hey did they cheat again"...

    So yes to a point they are gonna always be "tainted", but there will also come a point and time where mos people will start to get over it.

    But as for now, its to soon for people to start thinking they are amazing.
