NFL investigating Patriots for possibly videotaping Bengals

Sepia · Dec 10, 2019

Does anyone remember the press posting that a man was seen standing on top of the building in Frisco filming during practice? Was that the week we played New England?

This story is quickly gathering steam, as i have seen this story on Fox News, CNN, and Headline News....If the NFL is seriously investigating this.....some serious repercussions may be coming down the line.

Which is total bs, which is why they destroyed the “acknowledged” evidence. The Patriots existence from 2000 - 2007 was fraudulent effecting the final outcome of the majority of those playoffs, challenging the very legitimacy of the League - Goodall, the coward felt he had to bury the real story. The 2015 ESPN magazine article is very revealing.

If Goodel's intent was to cover something up, why punish the Patriots at all? He could have just as easily declared all is well and then burned the tapes. :espn:

invents stories for ratings. I don't very much about that network credible.

It really doesn't matter. The damage is done. No matter the context, no matter who was or wasn't involved, the story has legs because its about the hated Patriots.

This story already gotten more time than the Astros story did.

It adds fuel the the Patriots hate bonfire. You can see it here. You can see it the news cycle. It's relentless.

A suspension will happen, Bill will come back, they'll win a Super Bowl.

I mean, this has happened before.

Wow. The Bengals? Have the Pats lowered their own bar?

They are caught taping the 4-12 Jets in the original spygate. They are caught taping the 1 win Bengals this time. What I think this tells you is that they tape every team they play.

Why would any team tape the Cowboys? Whoever was in charge in taping us really doesn't have much: Garrett standing. Staring at the field. Clapping, Spitting. Repeat.

Really? Read the article.

I read the article. But unlike you, I actually understand the difference between proof and allegation. That was far from a damming expose'. The league could not prove the Patriots used the tape in real time. It literally doesn't matter what some owners believed. Its what you can prove. It is perfectly legal to video tape opposing teams as long as the tape isn't processed and used during the game. You can't tape the first half and use the information for the second half. You can use it for the next game. Don't like the rule? Blame the CBA.

The fact is that stealing signals has been going on in the NFL since its inception.

Its not that the Pats did it to the lowly Bengals or Jets... it just happens that those were the teams they GOT CAUGHT spying on.

The proof was destroyed in the secret media room and buried by the then new NFL commissioner to save the legitimacy of the league - hard to have proof when it's willfully and knowingly destroyed. I don't think that you comprehend the basics, nobody doesn't believe that the Patriots achieved a significant advantage by spying on other teams at an unprecedented rate, which is why they continue to do so today. But I guess that's ok with you.

It was perfectly within the rights of the league office to destroy whatever they wanted to destroy at the conclusion of their investigation. It was not in the league's best interest for independent inquiries to request access and re-investigate. Goodell did the smart thing.

Again, you have no proof and I could care less what you believe. The real proof is that Patriots continue to win whether they tape or not.

its helps a lot when u have a advantage by cheating but of course this will be swept under the rug and the goodell will help cover up by getting rid of the tapes like he did last time

High discourse there. The real proof is that the Patriots continue to cheat.

Its hard to have any discourse with someone that can't discern "proven" from "suspected" or fact from conspiracy theory.
