Wow - disinformation. The snow plow was legal when they did it. BTW, I was there that day. And BB didn’t film anyone’s practice - they filmed the sideline signals as everyone did until that year, something you could do yourself with your cellphone at any game, including today’s.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- This videotape needs no interpretation: New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick walked out of his news conference on Wednesday when pressed repeatedly about the sideline spying scandal that landed him on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's crowded docket.
Think that speaks for itself
The following year, the NFL banned the use of snowplows on the field during a game. In a 2007 interview for an NFL Network segment about the game, Shula recalled protesting the "unfair" act, to which Commissioner Pete Rozelle responded that, while he agreed wholeheartedly, without a rule explicitly barring such use of the plow, there was nothing he could do.
You are correct about the snowplow incident. At the time it was not illegal.
I still want them to lose! T
