"Look, I'm not saying the '07 Colts or '86 Lakers openly chose to lose. They just took the easy way out. Subconsciously, they were probably thinking, "Deep down, we know we're not winning the title this year," and responded in crisis with the appropriate amount of urgency. In the process, they cheated two unforgettable teams of punctuating unforgettable seasons by topping their natural rivals."
There you have it. Bill Simmons knows cheating and that my friends, is cheating. The Colts' cheated! Where's the national outrage? Where's the lost draft picks? Can't they suspend Manning or something! They CHEATED!
I just can't help but imagine what the article would look like if the teams were reversed. If the Colts were 17-0 and punished for cheating in week 1, and the Patriots just flamed out in the playoffs--would he consider the Patriots cheaters for losing to the Chargers?
