Wow, this coming from a Steelers fan. Hey, weren't all the steelers players on roids during those championships they won during the 70's? Hypocrite.

I don't consider taping signals cheating because you can easily sit there and record them by hand it just isn't conveniant. I like the fact that opposing teams don't change up their signals it made Belichick look like a genius and he must be to know that other coaches are idiots. More power to the Pats for there effort on and off the field. Thanks to Matt Walsh also for looking like an Idiot and bringing forth info that everyone already knew therefore proving that Belichick was telling the truth.

(The NFL Constitution and Bylaws stipulate that) "...any communications or information-gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, shall be prohibited...that might aid a team during the playing of a game."
It might be helpful to change that from "a game" to "any game" and that would basically end any discussion on the rules.

Ignore them or swallow real hard and take my lumps? I can't do both.
The hateful posters will be on the Patriots page. And there is certainly no shortage of them on the NFL page.
Read them if you must. Some are funny in their stupidity. Just don't reply. If every Patriots fan excercises restraint and refuses to reply the childish haters will evaporate out of inactivity...Make a pact among yourselves or something?
The rule that you put in the quote box seems fairly clear to me. I'm no English Lit. major, but anything other than polaroid type cameras, or field telephons seems to be concise and not confusing at all.
The bold typeface line about that might aid during the playing of a game. Are you implying that that phrase superceeds the prior verbage in the rule? If that was what was confusing to Bilichick, shame on him.
His integrity has been compromised, and for most fans, he's going to have the unfortunate label that comes along when ones integrity is compromised. It's going to be very difficult for most fans to believe he wasn't planning to, or in fact using the filming for an advantage. The NFL agreed, and fined him and the Patriots.
When it comes to compromised integrity...
Ask Bill (depends on what the definition of is, is) Clinton
Good luck Pats fans
GO Chargers

I'm not going to lie I do not like the Patriots or some of the fans. Spy gate is getting old. It needs to go away. But it will not .The pats fans who say the Pats did nothing wrong ,It Didn't help And the team got nothing out of it . B.S. if it dosn't do anything they wouldn't do it.
Everyone Just get over it . We have a new season. Cheer for you Team.Hopefully Your team will have a good season. None of the players will get hurt, arrested,Or do anything stupid that gets them suspended.
I can't wait for the good games The Pats and Chargers , The Colts And Chargers, The Colts And Pats. The Jags, Browns and Steelers. Lets see who is the best this year. Hopfully its the Chargers. Good luck to your team.
Go Chargers!!!!!!! Chargers win!!!!!!

You Pats fans are #1 - at making excuses.
Also - regarding the "Nothing is known that wasn't known." Really? They taped Miami's offensive signals, as well. This morning's NY Post, page 144 will explain it all for you. I mean, come on. You had to tape Miami? Miami?
One thing that's for sure is that Steelers fans aren't "just bitter" about losing that AFC Championship game. Sure, we wanted to win. But above all else, Steelers fans know the game of football. While New Englanders are raised to play soccer, tennis, and other girls / country club sports, Pittsburghers grow up playing football. I bet the average 12 year old from Pittsburgh knows more about football than the average guy that calls himself a Pats fan.
The Pats are a great team. Everyone knows that. The POINT - if you guys can get it through your soccer-playing brains, is that it's a shame to tarnish that with cheating. Who knows what would have happened otherwise?
Anyway, we have 5 Lombardi trophies. Call me when you guys hit 6 and maybe Steelers fans might have a reason to be jealous of Pretty Boy Brady and his cheater of a coach.
