ROVE you magnificent bastard!
Regardless, a few observations, if I may, for you to consider:
Off all the teams in the league, the Patriots are the best equipped to lose a pick. They're stacked right now, and free agents want to come here. Talent won't be a problem. Plus, they have San Francisco's 1st rounder for Randy Moss (he he - steal of the century).
I wouldn't be surprised if Bill has tape of every other team doing the same thing. Now that the bar is set, Bill delivers the tapes to league offices and says (Them too!)
I really hope he has the Colts on tape. I can't wait to see Bill Poulian (sp?) and Peyton whining and crying.
Lastly, he has reintroduced the "no one respects us" routine he's used to perfection before. I can see the pep talk now; "They think you suck, and you're no good. Are you going to stand for that?" The Pats now have a HUGE chip on their shoulders; they're going to prove how good they are by steamrolling everyone.
Actually, they got Moss for a 4th round pick. The SF 1st was a flip for last year versus next year so SF could move up.
ROVE you magnificent bastard!
Off the bat, I don't think Mangini ratted out Belicheck after the game started, I think he told the NFL about it before hand, and they simply waited and then busted the guy.
Kind of like a sting, you just have to wonder what kind of "genius" wouldn't realize his own former coordinator was going to set him up for something sooner or later.
2nd, no, not every other team does it, in fact, I doubt you'd find more then one or 2 teams.......if you could find them (I have suspicions on 2 teams),.
BB is not going to have anyone on tape, if he did, he would have pulled a power play, the fact that he is getting the max fine and giving up minimum one high draft pick, possibly (but not likely) 2, means they had him dead in the water, and he didn't have diddly.
Sorry, don't think you'll find Dungy pulling a trick like Belichick.
