I guess I don't understand. (I'm a Giants fans so I have no dog in this fight.) He videotaped signals? What's the big deal? Could he have guys in the stands watch and write down what they saw? Can he watch tape of their games against other teams, and note what sort of plays they run on third and three?

Its nowhere near as effective.

And very very difficult to do from the stands, especially for every single play.

To show how brazen this was, the guy was up on the sideline, near the coaches, getting the best angles possible and clear as day.

Uh, the Gay-ants were suspected signal-stealers not too long ago. There were rumors that they were intercepting the opposing teams' play calling back in 2001. The difference is, they were never caught.

Same here, as a Raiders fan I could care less but the hypocrisy of some is simply mind boggling. Me as a Raiders fan and a you Giants, you might get a kick out of the following. Raiders owner Al Davis and his coaching team were often accused of spying on opponents, especially back in the Raiders' heyday of the 1970s and '80s. Parcells when he was coaching the Giants would always scope out security when playing the Raiders for spies. Heck he even look under his hotel bed for Davis' spy gear. LOL!!

From what I've heard, the Pats were videotaping information for their library game film, and according to Keyshawn Johnson its a typical scouting method that other teams do too. This got a little bit more attention then Mangini originally anticipated. Lets not forget the Jets and Dolphins did similar things to the Pats last year with little to no media flare.
