I keep on hearing about this "Spygate" situation. Do you really,truly, honestly believe that the Patriots are the only team in the history of the NFL that has ever video taped other teams to learn their call signs? Yes, I know they are the only team that got caught, but does it make all the other teams as "innocent" as many people believe?
Do you truly believe the Pats are the only NFL team that has ever stolen other teams' defensive signs?nba draft
No. Several coaches (Jimmy Johnson, John Madden, Bill Parcells) have said that getting to the opponets signals is crucial. Same said by QB's such as Joe Thiesmann, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason. Its all part of the game. Its that Bilichick was caught.

No, but obviously dumb enough to get caught.
No...The haters would love to convince everyone of that though...
Why of course not but they are the only idiots to get caught !
No.....Pats are getting caught because people are snitching on them.
I'm sure they are not the only ones but they where stupid enough to get caught.
Yes because they are the only type of team that would do it.
They cant even cheat right without getting caught....
I believe they are the only ones arrogant enough to think they can do it with impunity - using their same methodology against former assistants.
And I do not believe EVERYONE does it - and ask for proof, evidence! Tony Dungy, Lovie, Cowher - proof - before you smear everyone. Some do, some don't - the Pats are too arrogant,
No. Try telling the judge that everyone else does it the next time you get a speeding ticket.
Every team does it...the Patriots were the dumb ones to get caught...I mean it was against the team that is coached by a former Patriot staff member who knew how they taped...it was just dumb.
The way they got caught is the reason most people hate the Patriots, they were so blatant about it, it just screamed arrogance.
The Commish stated on Saturday that this practice was prevelent throughout the league and wanted to send a STRONG MESSAGE for this conduct to cease.
Bill Parcells stated that if an NFL Coach did not take measures to conceal his calls, he's an idiot.
PS- A GIANTS FAN
No I don't truly believe that but they are the ones who got caught. So until someone else gets caught then every fan, sports analyst and anyone who talks about it can shut up. They got caught, now deal with it.
no but still,
you cant cheat, then call yourselves the best ever,
thats what set them apart.
absolutely not.
Haha don't be silly. All teams do it, to what extent is what varies. The Pats were just suckers for getting caught, but stealing signs is so prevalent in the NFL that the confiscated video showed one of the Jets coordinators waving to the camera. Ya, it's that common. Former Patriot assistant coach(?)defensive coordinator(?) Eric Magnali just had beef with the organization and tattled.
Tough luck on New England's part, but even tougher was their superbowl demise. Nonetheless, this season - though they'll all they you is completely meaningless - has been one of the greatest in the history of football.
And the Giants, one of the greatest stories.
Do you really, truly, honestly believe it matters? The NFL sent out a memo just ONE WEEK before the Patriots taped the Jets specifically saying not to do it. N.E. was so arrogant they said to the league "Yeah, whatever. Tell that to teams that have to listen to you. We'll let you know when WE don't feel like taping teams anymore." They went out and did it right away against a coach that would know they were doing it which was the same as giving the league the finger. And even after all of that the league still let them off easy. Now there are allegations that they snuck someone in to tape the Rams final walk through before the Super Bowl. You gonna try to tell us everyone does that to? Don't think so. Isn't it funny how all 32 teams are supposedly equally guilty but somehow it's just the Pats that seem to keep getting caught? Are they THAT much dumber than every other team in the league?
I'm sure there are plenty of teams out there who have done it. The only thing is the Pats got caught. I honestly don't think it's a big deal anyway.
Nah, not really. Not when you consider that the point of the game is to gameplan against what you expect the other team to do. But I guess if the Pats took it to a new level that is considered unacceptable, then that's pretty much cheating. I'm not too interested with that topic though. I'm replaying that final Giants drive capped off by the Burress touchdown over %26amp; over in my head. That's much more interesting!
No
