Sorry, darlin', but spying and deception are all part of the game, whether it be BBall, hoops, or football. It isn't cheating to steal somebody's signs or watch their practices, it's smartness. What matters is whether the other team is smart enuf to recognize it,and actually do counter-intelligence spy vs spy stuff. However, I consider it most excellently fair,as opposed to drugs or freezing baseballs, or corking bats, all of which are prohibited by the rules of the sports. Where does it say, in the NFL rule book "Thou shall not spy"? Homefield advantage sort of falls in this area...Giants vs Dodgers in the 60's, when Maury Wills was stealing bases like crazy...when they played at the 'stick, the area around 1st base was a lake, so he couldn't run well...when they played in LA, that area was a bone dry rock hard launching pad...jajaja.
