An unnamed source has claimed a New England Patriots employee secretly videotaped the St. Louis Rams' pre-game walkthrough the day before Super Bowl XXXVI, the Boston Herald reported Saturday.

[relee]

LoL!

[Ingtar]

This was back in 2002

... when the taping wasn't illegal yet... only shady.

[gridlock]

I hope the watch out for the crocodiles!

Footall has often been compared to warfare - spying is considered essential in real warfare. Preventing the enemy from spying on you is also essential.

Wow! You really are the ghost of nixon!

[Beckwith]

The guy that wrote this story is Patriots beat writer John Tomase, who is despised by Bill Belichik.

The story has been around for some time, but dropping this on the world two days before the Super Bowl will tarnish whatever happens today.

Already ESPN’s MIke and Mike have been obsessing over this for an hour.

Using a single source, who may or may not have videoed the Rams, who may or may not have been directed by the Patriots coaching staff, who may or may not be lying, who may or may not be a disgruntled ex-employee, and who now refuses to talk to anybody, is not the paragon of responsible journalism.

I sincerely hope that the Herald’s self-serving John Tomase and the POS who handed him this story get driven out of town.

If you would like to communicate with the rolly-poley Tomase, his phone number is easily available via Google.

The cover up, if so, is worse than the crime!

[Beckwith]

Belichick, Brady and Co. will never live this down.

I realize, as a New Yorker, you're emotionally involved.

However, there is no evidence that this story is true.

[Deo et Patria]

Other than the fact that the Patriots have already been found guilty of breaking the rules doing this very thing?

C’mon.

[Beckwith]

Obsession:

1. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety.

2. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion.

GO PATRIOTS!!!

BEAT THE G-MEN, IF YOU HAVE TO SPY TO WIN, BY ALL MEAN DO IT, WINNING IS EVERYTHING, THERE ARE NO HOLDS BARRED....

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Nah, he is a disgrace just like NE Patriots football.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

There is a thing called “prior history” but you can sweep that they were already caught doing the same thing under the rug if you wish.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Three***champs. at least fix your screen name.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

However, there is no evidence that this story is true.

Really? Look at what happened this year. They were caught cheating are you really naive enough to think that was the first time they filmed a team? Are all Patriots fans in such denial?

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Denial:

1. knowing something is true and still not believing.

2. All Patriots fans.

Maybe you should: Get yourself some competent professional help.

He cheats at football and he cheats on his wife in his personal life.

Really?...How do you know this?...I never liked the guy so just curious on this charge...

[oust the louse]

The story has been around for some time, but dropping this on the world two days before the Super Bowl will tarnish whatever happens today.

Whaaaaaa...stp your whining. How about us Tribe fans getting that Mitchell report leak out right before game 6 or 7 or when ever it was, about Paul Byrd. THAT was a distraction and it helped your/Boston cause. Can't feel sorry for you guys right now. I'm a huge Giants and Mercury Morris fan right now.

OH,by the way,Belichek was an azz when he was here also...

[Rush4U]

Maybe you should: Get yourself some competent professional help

You'll need some grief counseling in about, oh, 6 hours or so. try not to cry to hard. After all, it's a game.

Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long, and Terry Bradshaw all just laughed at the stupidity of all of you folks with Patriots Derangement Syndrome. All three agreed it was a non-story and the whole thing is blown totally out of proportion because the Pats have done nothing everyone else doesn't do. But hey, who am I to get in the way of you and your friends maniacal fixation on the Patriots. Enjoy your mental illness.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Not really, cause I know the *Patriots* will always be known for cheating.
