Steelers linebacker James Farrior was in a jovial mood Thursday. He basked in the sunshine and warmth of Florida while helping famed speed coach Tom Shaw train prospective linebackers for the upcoming NFL draft. When asked about Spygate and what if any competitive advantage that filming the Steelers' defensive signals gave the New England Patriots in the four meetings between the teams since 2001, a relaxed Farrior didn't offer the anticipated angry retort.
"They're probably not the only team that ever did that," Farrior said. "If they did tape it, I'm mad that we didn't do it first.
Farrior, a team captain who led the Steelers in tackles last season appeared to be joking. But there was some truth in his words.
In a copycat league where teams steal the newest trends from each other without shame, stealing signals is nothing new. It's just that New England took the art form to a new level.
"It depends on how the coaches and players use it, but it definitely can be beneficial sometimes," said Farrior.
"But if you're just looking at the tape and trying to figure out what the signals are going to be, coaches do that all the time anyway, I think."
Farrior and everyone else in the Steelers organization continue to present a unified front and spew the company line regarding Spygate: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

It seems to me the current players and teams are the only ones willing to let this rest.

Yep. If the teams who have been taped against aren't holding a grudge, then neither should anyone else.
