Aroundabouts' talk is all fine and good to balance what others say. I only think that if the Pats were stealing the other teams' playbooks which could be a possibility, why wouldn't the NFL be cracking down on them and trying to catch them? And don't tell me because the Pats are garnering a lot of attention and popularity for the NFL.

The problem is there is no balance it his talk. It’s all hyperbole that’s in blatant disregard of the real facts. The idea that video taping the signals in 1 game is stealing the entire playbook is laughable, not balanced. The idea that teams rarely if ever change their signals is not only laughable it’s disproven regularly by various NFL Films and NFL Network programs where they talk to coaches, we know for a FACT (unless every player and coach that’s ever discussed this on camera is lying) that they do regularly change the calls.

He’s all hyperbole all the time. No balance.

And the NFL did crack down on them. Biggest fine possible against a coach, biggest fine ever against a team.

Re: You pic of Dean Jones and Haley Mills from That Darn Cat!

I've been head over heels in love... with Haley since she appear as twins in 1961's Tha Parent Trap

She is still a babe today... and will always be the dream older woman in my life. She was born in '46, me in '47!

As I understand, that's one of the things Belichick was peeved at Mangini about - he took all his playbooks with him. ...That and interfering with Patriot players, trying to get them to jump ship despite exisiting contracts.
