Here's my question. Who brainstormed this plan? Was it Belicheat's idea? Was it the idea of someone higher up? Or maybe it was some scrub in the bottom teir of their photography crew. They should give the Pats the death penalty.
Good point, and makes me wonder if the owner will foot the fine for bilicheat somehow. Wouldn't put it past them.
I'm just wondering how deep it went. If it was that deep at all. I'm thinking this could be something the Pats teach. Or it could be some guy trying to make a name for himself, cheating to gain an edge. I don't think the Pats are going to pay it for him, hell they won't evengive him a decent wardrobe for Sundays
dude, this is the guy who doesnt let his assts speak to the media, or rookies or anyone. he is more controlling than hitler. do you really think this was some rogue assistant that took it upon himself. Id say zero to about zero chance of that happening. whether kraft knew is another story altogether. Im pretty certain mango knew thehoodie's ways long before and made a few people aware.
I personally have no doubt that hoodie was involved. I'm more curious as to how much deeper it went. I mean does he have an entire crew whose sole responsibility to record then break down the oppositions signals? That's the question I'd love to hear answered. I think it's pretty telling that a former assisstant nailed him.
From what I heard tonite on the radio,Mangini and the NFL have been planning this since the schedules came out.As soon as the Pats cameras came out ....it was over ...NFL security came down on them like SWAT.
Now the Iggles are claiming foul in the Super Bowl: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3017964 Of course they may be completely right. I've got to wonder if they have gave McChoke a big heaping helping of coward juice that prevented him from being in good enough shape for the drive that would define his career.
Expect the conspiracy theories to come pouring out over the next few days. Ward is probably the first of many who will take a shot, deservedly so, at the Pats. If the info about Billicheat getting entrapped is true thats hilarious. Can you imagine the look on the guilty parties faces. UT-OH...BUSTED! I would say that speculation could be accurate considering how fast and how big the penalty came down. The Commish was waiting with baited breath. New England fans and their cheating coach should be hanging their head in shame. Cheaters! I wonder how many people were employed just for this venture? Expect the Pats payroll to be reduced by a few bodies. They wont have any future work as spies.
That's what I was thinking. 2 Super Bowls won by 3 points. If they were stealing signs in those games, surely it helped put them over the top. And what about Alabama's coach? He was accused of doing the same thing against the Pats last year. I hope Pelini takes this into account before our game with them.
