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
Why do people still obsess on the taping thing? It was a stupid rule (you could observer defensive signals through any means you chose except video taping) necessitated by another stupid rule (no helmet radios for defense) and it was 5 freaking seasons ago. It actually resulted in good because now the defense gets radios too, thus ending the whole idiotic situation. People should get over it.
