[h=1]Patriots admit video crew violated league policy, say it was unintentional[/h]“On Sunday, Dec. 8, the content team sent a three-person video crew to the Bengals-Browns game at FirstEnergy Stadium in order to capture one part of a longer feature on the Patriots scouting department, in this case a Patriots pro personnel scout while he was working in the press box,” the statement from the team said. “While we sought and were granted credentialed access from the Cleveland Browns for the video crew, our failure to inform the Bengals and the League was an unintended oversight. In addition to filming the scout, the production crew — without specific knowledge of League rules — inappropriately filmed the field from the press box. The sole purpose of the filming twas to provide an illustration of an advance scout at work on the road. There was no intention of using the footage for any other purpose. We understand and acknowledge that our video crew, which included independent contractors who shot the video, unknowingly violated a league policy by filming the field and sideline from the press box.”

No Mr. Goodell, I really have no idea how I came by that game ticket. Amazon delivered it to my house with one of their new drones. Boy Scouts honor.
No Mr. Goodell, I really have no idea how that camera clicked on. You know, those touch screens are real sensitive. I think I must have bumped it while eathing the nachos. Have you tried the nachos? Here, try some. Nummy, no?
No Mr. Goodell, I have no idea how Coach Belicheat's email was in my in address book. Musta been from a Facebook or Snapchat link...you know how you get all that spam when you visit websites and such.
THe NFL NEEDS to show the footage. We are not idiots. We can decide if it was harmlessly panning the audience. Belicheat has culpable deniability because he isn't the one that needs to see the video at all. How the **** is he going to use the signals at field level. Its rainman upstairs I'm worried about.
IMO, given the Patriots' history, the league has to release the confiscated video, whether it decides to discipline them or not.
The league's word alone will not suffice this time.
The NFL better realize that if there is not complete and total transparency on this it will tarnish the old shield 50 times more than any wife beater could possibly do. They have to show the video footage. I don't even know how it works anymore. Do they still rely on hand signals for defense??? I thought they went to a guy with a dot on his helmet who has audio in his helmet. However, if there is anything on this video that could reasonably show any possible advantage gained. Belicheat gone, Ernie Rainman Gone. Leave them with Simple Steve. He can be the coach.
DIC, The most confusing press release about deflate gate happened the first day of the investigation, and that was the statement released by the league that Bellycheck had nothing to do with it, and they pinned it on Brady. If he was part of it, he would have been banned from the league for life, as you correctly stated.
Dude is a cheater. Cheats on his wife, cheats on his taxes, cheats at cards. A cheater is a cheater for life!
If the "investigation" seems inadequate its time to boycott the Super Bowl. You get your number down by 7-10 million, it will say something. All these ******* understand is dollar signs.kraft is goodell's buddy. billacheat isn't going anywhere until he desires to retire...
Some bengal employees need to leak a copy of that tape onlineABSOLUTELY Cope !!!!!!!!! Over the years we as fans have taken for granted that there is a double standard in the NFL. One for us common teams and one for the CHEATRIOTS, always favoring the cheats. I think the general NFL public has finally reached their disdain of this treatment. The NFL is privy to that and lately hasn't been giving them the "on field privilege" as in the past hoping that translates into the quieting of the people. It's not going to quiet all but maybe enough. For me, it will never quiet or rest until a full expose is revealed, may never happen but I'm hoping with the more of these "caught" in the act claims that someone somewhere will eventually come forward.
PITTSBURGH is the lone team who has suffered the most by the cheating. Yes all have had a set back or two against the cheatriots but PITTSBURGH more than likely as not, was swindled out of two championships and the many regular season games as well including play off seating (not all but some). How many Jesse James calls have we had against us, how many terrible spot the balls, how many non-PI calls / picks / tampering w/player / well you get my drift.
I though I'd heard that the Bungles had kept the original and gave rog the duplicate but in any event I just hope duplicates were made to help insure disciplinary act or possible expose at a later date.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS and don't lose the message within
**** the cheatriots
with a

HOT
POKER
Salute the nation
