Lou, the Pats were accused of doing this against the Packers..It's been documented and the team was warned. Perhaps this is what prompted the warning of the entire league? I don't know..
What I read (which may or may not be gospel) is that the Packers said nothing last year because they didn't want to seem like whiners after being beaten 35-0, they escorted someone out of the stadium, and only mentioned it to the league Monday after this most recent incident. So the league wide memo doesn't necessarily stem from that one incident. It certainly goes deeper than the Pats, they just got cockyt and got caught. I wouldn't doubt an ulterior motive since it forced Mangini to play the role of rat.
As a result, he was rarely questioned publicly. When the Green Bay Packers caught the Pats stealing signs last year, they didn’t complain to the league in no small part because they didn’t want to whine after being dominated, 35-0, by the Patriots.
Interesting comment in that you can use the word "hate" over a football team in a sport you've said you're oblivious to. As much as I love Boston and all is sports and as much as I will root against NYC area teams I would never ever use the word "hate".
This is only sports they're are good people and bad people in both cities. "Hate" is such a strong word is it possible for you to come up with something else? I gather you true feelings on the city of Boston of will never ever change though.
Good luck to you, have a nice day, rumour has it it's possible.
Peace
So as your hate filled words continue maybe you would like an N E player get his neck broken and be paralyzed for life. Maybe that would fester your hate a little more.
Best wishes man.

i think the jets should of run a play towards the sideline and the knocked the shit out of the camera guy b4 taking the tape,, that would of been great
Just a quick question then, if he is a bum and not a mastermind, was he a bum in NY for the Giants Super Bowl victories as well?
I mean we've all seen Parcells not be able to win without Belichek. So obviously his defense was to key to the Giants Super Bowls.
Also, I'm not familiar with the Pats and their coordinators, but does Bill have anything to do with playcalling or does he leave it up to his offensive coordinator? As it has been shown they were only taping defensive signals so how does this affect Bill's coaching at all - except for the fact that he sanctioned and allowed it to happen. It's not like he's calling in the plays to Brady himself from the sidelines. To the best of my knowledge, he's only involved in the defensive side of the ball.

The people that don't think all teams do this are probably also the same people that think steroids is only a problem is baseball and not football.
last night/this morning, I watched some interviews with some qb's from othr NFL teams
One even mentioned the fact that the pats were the ones who got caught!
Meaning... its been done many times!
i dont think it is right but lets not be naive and think it doesnt go on!
alot of ppl are awaiting there "punishment" bcuz it could better their chances of actually winning a game against them
THey are a great team, I dont know why they did this. Now their season is tainted.
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
absolutely! When you have facts.... then talk
if the pats were a sucky team, maybe facts would come into play
but They know they are a threat otherwise
anyways!!
they can get the worst punishment and they will still win the superbowl LOL!!!
AND u will 4 ever be the cheating team that got caught
and bill belichick getting a few games suspension...
And the thing is say they lose a 3rd and a 5th round pick, does it really hurt them that much, because they have 2 first round picks because of the Deion Branch trade.
From what I'm hearing, it is unlikely that the league would take away a 1st or 2nd round pick, because the players' union would be up in arms because they would be losing a future union member. Because any picks taken away would not be given to another team.
Lou, the Pats were accused of doing this against the Packers..It's been documented and the team was warned. Perhaps this is what prompted the warning for the entire league? I don't know..
bingo. you don't know.
honestly, do you think a warning in anything from sports to life is going to 100% deter someone from doing something? you would be one naive person if you thought that.
and not to "the champ" directly, but this thread is the sport equivilent of trying to have a rational thread about nirvana on a pearl jam board. people hate the pats. people hate the yanks. people hate the red sox. people hate (insert team here). all you anti-(insert team here) people take it WAY too seriously like you're part of the team. when you talk about the jets you say "we" which is sad.

Just curious ... what's your idea of a major fine?
I think the largest fine ever given an owner was $1 million and that was for Eddie DeBartalo being involved in an illegal gambling ring.
Are you saying the Pats should be fined more than this? And would you then be saying that this is worse than helping fund an illegal gambling ring?
