I'm completely shocked you stand up for this kind of cheating.

Just curious, how is it 'Patriots-esque' cheating ?

It's not exactly the same thing, but if you don't see a parallel between secretly videotaping a team's practice and hacking into a team's proprietary scouting database, I can't help ya out.

I just happen to believe the world is not in balance, the stars are not aligned, it's like we're living in a parallel universe separated from reality

far too often, it's all ass backwards





PS: and that's not bashing you or anybody, it's just the way it is

When did the patriots ever tape someone's practice??)

Yeah my bad, taping signals, not practices. I can't keep all the Patriot's cheating straight.

Goodell: "this episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid long-standing rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest competition on the playing field."

That is the point. Not the exact specifics of what they did or didn't tape.

 

[HarryCaray]

And honestly, I was not trying to get into some kind of debate with angry Patriots fans, or even take a jab at them in any way. Honestly it just popped into my head as the most concise way to describe the allegations.

The thread title and misinformation about taping practices is why pats fans have gotten how they are.

What do the cardinals being investigated by the fbi for hacking into another teams computers have anything to do with the pats? And taping the defensive coordinators signals (which are in plain sight for anyone in the stadium to see) is much different than secretly taping private practices.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.. I really doubt there will be much of an outrage or people throwing asterisks around..

just shows how dominant nfl is nationally and how baseball isn't what it was nationally.. If any nfl team got caught with this it would be HUGE.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, they have no idea what you're talking about

don't you know Belichick has access to the practice facilities of every team in the NFL and he secretly tapes their practices and that's the type of advantage he needs to win

if you point out to somebody that he was actually taping live games from "unauthorized positions", they look at you funny

 

[Willie99]

Whoa, deep.

whoa, no shit eh?

So the Patriots didn't tape the Rams they just made notes as they watched:think2:

After awhile the scandals all run together
