Bill Belichick Is Pissed The NFL Won't Adopt His Great Idea
qwri14tooe5jopdyc3oj.jpg
According to Deadspin.com, the NFL rejected Belicheat's proposal to have cameras on all the boundary lines... the owners say "um, we can't afford that..."
There is literally no drawback to doing this. So why hasn't it happened? John Mara, speaking for the owners, parroted the reasoning they drag out every year. They claim the cameras would be too expensive to install.

This is insane. This league is more profitable than it's ever been, to the point where it's handing out eight-figure bonuses to executives, and it can't find the cash to enhance the integrity of its product? **** outta here.

That's interesting cause I can't afford to take my family of 3 to see an NFL game.

I felt the same.
 
Even though it's ironic that Belicheck is suggesting more cameras, he is absolutely correct. I've wondered for a long time why they didn't have these cameras, and this should reveal what the NFL cares about. It's not the integrity of the game (or the SHIELD lol Rog) it is all about money to these guys.

Yeah, if he's that pissed off over it, there must some other scheme he had up his hoodie sleeves for it. Probably has a hacker on payroll that was going to take control of the cameras and send him direct feeds or some kind of bullshit.
 
I cannot afford your $60 pizza Jerrah.
 
Putting caneras on the LINEs, would limit calls and turn public opinion away from the NFL. It wouyld make it much harder to munipulate games. WAY to many negatives, for them to do, so the old "to expensive" cliche, will be used over and over..........
........... Since when has anyone started spelling BilliCHEAT differently?




Salute the nation
 
Oh the poor owners, maybe as a cost saving feature we should just have one goalpost in one end zone.
 
While I do not think it is about manipulating games, the NFL may actually have some legitimate concern that more cameras will create more problems. I have long felt that HD cameras and the increased number of cameras, while certainly great for the viewing experience, has been a double edge sword. With multiple angles to consider, more time is needed to do so and there is (oddly) an increased risk of ambiguity and error because of optical illusions created by the camera angle. This has led to a lot of the post-game whining. With less cameras (and certainly before HD), we had to rely on the refs more and there was less “evidence” of a bad call. Imagine several cameras at the goal line. It would take 5 or 10 minutes to review every single TD. I already find it interminable that every TD is reviewed. I cannot image if it took 10 minutes. Then, even after that, the team that ended up on the bad end of the call (and certainly its fans) will still point to the one camera angle that seemed to suggest the call that they wanted.

This is overcomplicating things. The NFL has a prehistoric system for replay. Tennis and the NHL can have line calls overturned in seconds or a minute, yet the NFL needs to get in its commercials to feed the beast. Rely less on revenue and more on getting the play right in a timely manner and it should not be a problem at all.
 
That's because football is becoming less and less a sport and more of an entertainment event. It's like WWE, not WWF. It's only about revenue and entertainment value.
 
He's right, they should have the cameras and the league needs to pony up the cash - they're not hurting for it

That being said, I have a hard time believing he is THIS adamant about it for totally innocent reasons. He and Ernie have something up their sleeves regarding these cameras and how they could gain an advantage from it.
 
As far as Belichick is concerned, the more cameras the NFL uses, the better. Makes it easier for him to do legally, what he was doing illegally.

"Cameras in the end zone? **** Bill, we can steal the OL signals and calls and it will be perfectly legal. The best part is that it'll take the rest of the league 5 years to catch on to what we're doing."

I really believe it it were that simple his lackey Goodell would already be behind it. There is likely some other reason it has not been implemented yet and I doubt it is cost, might be that it would show so many bad calls the officials would have no credibility left at all.

Well, it looks like if you are Belichick/Kraft if you ask for it, the NFL will try to make it happen.

NFL beginning "research and development" on the proposal is a complete laughable joke... They use a minimum of 10 cameras in regular games, around 20 for primetime games and 30+ for the SuperBowl. ...and these billionaires running a trillion dollar business can't just say "hey, Bob, install 6 permanent cameras with robotic mounts on the sidelines...make sure they are fixed and don't ever move." Total cost: about $100,000
