Jesus man you have no objectivity at all, you're a complete fanatic. You dismiss these articles as propoganda even as Kraft agrees with the verdict.
Apparently NE was asked recently to cut out the videotaping and refused to, thus the resultant debacle.
Patriots Probe Continues, Team to Submit Materials
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 17 -- The New England Patriots are preparing to hand over requested materials to NFL officials as the league continues its investigation into the team's signal-stealing tactics.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered the Patriots to turn over any tapes or notes from the videotaping program that led to last Thursday's penalties against the team, which included a $500,000 fine of Patriots Coach Bill Belichick, a $250,000 fine of the franchise and the loss of at least one pick in next spring's NFL draft, possibly a first-round selection. Belichick told reporters Monday that the Patriots "of course" would comply with Goodell's order.
The Patriots have been ordered to turn over any tapes or notes from the videotaping program that led to the penalties against the team, including a $500,000 fine of Coach Bill Belichick.
Goodell has threatened to impose more severe sanctions if league officials uncover evidence of more violations. One source familiar with the league's investigation said Monday that NFL officials have been made aware of a wide range of allegations against the Patriots, including claims that they have illegally wired the helmets of some of their defensive players to receive instructions from coaches on the sideline (only the quarterback can be connected to a coach in that way) and that they have improperly jammed opponents' radio communication signals. But the league has no evidence to substantiate any of those allegations, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the controversial nature of the case.
"Everyone is coming out of the woodwork right now with a story that the guy [Belichick] has done this or done that," the source said. "Who knows if any of it is true. And even if any of it is true, who knows if there's any proof to be had."
Goodell also has said that the league will look into the videotaping practices of all 32 teams, and remind them what is permitted and what isn't.
The Patriots have sent a clear message that they have every intention of continuing to win football games as efficiently as ever while the league conducts its probe.
In what players described late Sunday night as an emotional scene in the locker room afterward, Belichick received a game ball from Patriots owner Robert Kraft and was saluted by players who offered appreciative testimonials to the three-time Super Bowl-winning coach.
"We're all lucky to play for him," quarterback Tom Brady said. "He's the best coach probably in the history of the NFL."
