Bruschi to retire tomorrow

Haha! Awesome.

 

Two posts now and you're being very cryptic and not really saying anything. Why don't you actually say something of substance so people can respond.

 

Yeah, come on bro, you can't mean that bro, for real? Bro, he was a great linebacker bro, everyone cheated bro, don't single him out because you're jealous bro.

 

Here are the accusations about radio signals.

Note that the Commissioner said that it couldn't be proven, not that it didn't happen:

FREQUENCY WAVES: Fox' Jay Glazer reported, “There’ve been several accusations from so many different teams out there. Even in this one game (against the Jets), there’s been talk about interference from quarterback to coach. … There’s been talk about different audio receivers on the Patriot’s sidelines. Why they had that there, whether or not they were miking up players, trying to record Chad Pennington’s audibles. I asked (Goodell) about that. He said, ‘Look, we heard about that … but there’s no evidence. So far, everybody has a story, but until you give us evidence, what can we do?’” (“NFL on Fox,” Fox, 9/16). NBC’s Andrea Kremer reported the Jets will “very likely request an investigation by the league into the Patriots' use of unassigned and uncoordinated radio frequencies during their game last week.” Kremer: “The crux of the claim is that there was a second camera stationed right next to the one shooting the Jets defensive coaches sending in their signals. This second camera may have been used to illegally record audio that is suspected to be Patriots defensive linemen wired up so as to capture the Jets' audibles and offensive line calls. This would be another clear violation of NFL rules” (“FNIA,” NBC, 9/16). However, a source said that any investigation specific to the Patriots “wasn’t specifically requested by the Jets” (BOSTON GLOBE, 9/17). ESPN’s Mortensen noted the Patriots were “questioned about four radio frequencies they were utilizing, three of them suspicious. The league was wary of one excuse that they were utilized for Patriots' interactive services, so it was only another smoking gun. The league will send out another memo this week that reminds all teams ... of the competitive no-nos, including restrictions on communication devices” (“Sunday NFL Countdown,” ESPN, 9/16). Goodell added, “We are going to be monitoring all 32 clubs, the Patriots included. We have heard a lot of rumors about certain things that have been done with audio, the quarterback-to-coach communications, and we want to make sure that they’re all playing by the same rules” (NBC, 9/16).

 

I think the Pats are really lucky to have gotten away with that shit. It's obvious the NFL didn't want to be held in the same regard as MLB when it comes to 'cheating' and buried the whole scandal. It's more than just heresay when several teams are complaining about it. Fuckin' bullshit if you ask this observer.

 

They were stealing the Offensive signals as well. That's what the other cameras were for. Goodell covered the whole thing up for the overall good of the game. Like I said, the gambling aspect played into it bigtime.

Any time Belichick or the players from that era are discussed, there will be people that will bring up the cheating angle. Pats were fined for it....a large sum of money and a #1 draft pick.

It happened, so you're just going to have to deal. Pats cheated their way to their rings.

 

Gotta admit..Goodell has been the worse thing to happen to the NFL in decades.

 

Why? Are revenues down? Isn't player behavior being more heavily monitored than ever before? Coming off two of the most exciting super bowls of all time?
