"..the Jealousy and Envy Crowd what I meant was that there are gonna be people that oppose Brady just 'cause he got the girl, oppose Brady 'cause he's tall and good-looking and a star quarterback and wanted him punished on that basis... a lot of alignment against Brady was simply based on jealousy and envy and a lot of people hoping Brady got the four games just 'cause it's justice. "Nobody should be this lucky to be that good-looking, that tall, that good an athlete, with that good-looking kids get the beautiful girl. Nobody should have that kind of luck!" Those people are all over the place. You'll find them all over the place, and those are the people that will be upset here.” ~Rush Limbaugh
Among the findings:
— The Patriots would send low-level employees into the visiting locker room to steal the play sheet, consisting of the first 20 scripted offensive calls, or into the visiting team hotel to look for playbooks and scouting reports.
— When at home, the Patriots would scramble and jam the coach-to-quarterback radio line of their opponents, and it happened so often that when a league official was told to sit in the coaches’ box and wait for it to happen, it did, as expected, on a big third-down play.
— Deflategate is seen by some owners as a “makeup call” over Spygate.
— From 2000 to 2007, the Patriots videotaped the signals of opposing coaches in 40 games.
— Two teams caught the Patriots videotaping opposing coaches’ signals in 2006, but the NFL failed to act.
— Goodell ordered tapes and notes from the Patriots destroyed, eliminating “a library of scouting material.”
— Goodell told Sen. Arlen Spector that the Patriots’ tapes destroyed by NFL employees went back to the 2006 season, but then confessed that the Patriots began taping in 2000 and that the destroyed notes, on mostly AFC East rivals, went back to 2002.
— The Patriots had an employee, Ernie Adams, whose job it was to spend all week decoding signals on spreadsheets obtained by a scout at Patriots’ future opponents’ games.
— Patriots videographers were told to put tape over their team logos and say they were from Patriots TV or Kraft Productions when questioned by opposing team’s security. In November 2006, the Senate investigation of Spygate said Patriots staff member Matt Estrella said he was “taping panoramic shots of the stadium.”
— The Patriots would sign players recently cut by upcoming opponents and “pay them only to help decipher signals.”
