Exactly the problem with that ranking system. Points are never explained, it's all subjective. Additionally you have problems like counting all PED infractions equally. For instance, an infraction by a guy who was on the preseason roster for two days is weighted the same as the infraction of an all-pro DT. Very little thought went into the system they use for that site.
Like I said the guy had an agenda going into it and will make the stats fit his story line. He was/is a Patriots fan and wanted to make sure everything favored to show the Patriots do not cheat as much as people think. I mean just look at Deflategate and Spygate. The NFL punished the Patriots with some of the stiffest penalties the league has ever seen yet he brushes them off like they are nothing. Then unproven things on other teams that have not received any kind of penalty and some of them not even proven in any way are given a much harsher grade.
A great example is for the Broncos he has Radiogate. He gives them 3 cheatpoints earned all from a story that a former player told a Boston Radio show that has no verifiable evidence other than this one players' word.
Yet an NFL coach calls the Patriots out for possibly tampering with the radios during their game and others have done the same throughout the years somehow they get 0 cheating points. So yeah not exactly the most reliable source to say "hey look your team cheats more than my team."
