i like the way you associate their "rule violation" like it was a simple uniform infraction, you being a Pats fan-atic i wouldnt expect you to be objective. the NFL would be stupid to admit that it was cheating. what would you consider it? just a rule violation?
yes i scoff at your notion that the nfl might have something against Bill..you actually think that there is an agenda by the nfl? oh brother....
In short you are totally avoiding the fact you had no clue what you where talking about with your initial post of a tape being brushed under the rug and held from the public.
I didn't expect you to answer that part of my post. That would require YOU to be objective and know a few facts about the topic you are spouting off about.
I don't know if there is any agenda against Belichick. I know he is hared by several mediots. Thats nothing new. I think the pats where taken to the shithouse over a rule violation that is pretty comin place in the nfl.
How rich you speak of objectivity , when it is quit clear from your initial post you made up 95 percent of the accusations you made
Fact is no tape was ever held from the public nor swept under the rug with no one being able to see it.
You claim the point I made about certain folks having a agenda against Bill Belichick is absurd , yet you claim the NFL swept the entire situation under the rug. Thats pure gold.
If you actually knew about the panel that reviews rule violations you would have found out there are several head coaches on that board that could infact have a little something to gain by leaking a tape , or trashing the pats. Bill Polian comes to mind. That's neither here nor there since I dont think that was the case. My point was its not insane to question it.
Dont get upset with me because I qouted exactly what the NFL punished the pats for straight from the horses mouth. Not my fault you dont know much about the topic you are speaking from other then what you heard from joe schmoe or plain old made up.
I think the pats where busted for taping sings with a camera in a inapropriate place. They where not punished for stealing sings. I dare you to find me where in the rules it says you cannot steal signs. I guess the pats are the ONLY team to have commited some sort of violation of the rules. Spare us please. the jets did the exact same crap and nothing happened to them.
The NFL investigated this incident and came to the conclusion this was a one time issue. Just deal with it. The pats payed there fine and then went 16 - 0. Tough to take I know.
