Jets busted too?Quote:
Jets used video camera vs. Patriots

Jets, spies and videotape?
If a report based on league sources is accurate, the New York Jets were caught videotaping during a game against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough last season. Newsday said the team employee, who was taping from the mezzanine level between the scoreboard and a decorative lighthouse in an end zone, was removed but the camera was not confiscated by the Patriots or stadium security.
The Jets confirmed the details Tuesday but said they had permission from the Patriots to work from that location.
"All filming at last year's Patriots game was done with pre-approval from the Patriots and in accordance with NFL rules," Bruce Speight, the Jets' senior director of media relations, told the newspaper
The Jets were in New England on Nov. 12 and again in a playoff game in January, and it was not clear which game was being taped.
An NFL source said the league office is unaware of the incident, and that the Patriots did not bring it up during the investigation into the Jets' charges of illegal videotaping by the Patriots in September.
When rumors surfaced last year, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum denied to FOXsports.com that any illegal videotaping occurred. "Absolutely no truth to that whatsoever," he said then. "Completely false."
The Patriots declined to comment Tuesday.
"Our focus is on this Sunday's game, not on any other games," vice president of media relations Stacey James said.
Videotaping what exactly? If I were at some games the only thing I'd be videotaping is the cheerleaders ;)
The whole videotaping thing was blown out of proportion anyway.
It is NOT illegal to steal signs, and it is NOT illegal to use a camera to do so. The only rule the Patriots broke apparently had to do with placement of their camera, and from what I have heard that rule is mostly only even in place to prevent teams from horning in on the shots that the networks are paying for.
I've looked around a little to try to find the actual verbage of the rule they broke, but I couldn't find it.
Seconded. If it had been the Cardinals that did it the story would have died in two days. There is so much money at stake that these guys look for every possible edge and the Pats got caught for going too far over the line of what is generally accepted. People make it seem like they were listening in on the opponent's play calls or something. The league even acknowledged that it offers no benefit in the game being played.Quote:

It's interesting to watch how the abundance of media, esp. amateur internet sites, affect how sports and news stories are reported.
Sorry for the half-assed presentation, but I just got home after a friggin long day and im tired.

Ahhh... the TO of old finally makes an appearance. Two divas from the hood battling it out...Quote:
T.O. irritated by Keyshawn's assertions about current team
Terrell Owens, unusually quiet this season, but never at a loss for words when the occasion required it, responded forcefully Wednesday to comments made last weekend by former Dallas Cowboys receiver Keyshawn Johnson, now an analyst on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown."
On the show, Johnson said he believed former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells -- now also an analyst with ESPN -- deserves credit for what the Dallas team looks like now, with a 12-1 record.
In Dallas, Owens sharply criticized Johnson for defending Parcells, saying, "I challenge him to come down here and take my job. ESPN producers, let him go."
Asked in the locker room why Johnson would take the position he did Sunday, Owens said: "I'm probably the reason he's in the booth now. He's going to be a hater and throw me under the bus because he has to defend Bill. He won a Super Bowl and all, but you'd have to check the roster to know he was even on the team.
Terrell Owens reacts to comments that Keyshawn Johnson made about T.O. disrespecting Bill Parcells -- then Keyshawn reacts to what T.O. had to say about him. Podcast
"We came out in the same year. He was a first-rounder and I was a third. Go compare our stats. He couldn't come down here now and be a third or fourth receiver on this team. Just compare our stats."
Owens swung between addressing the Cowboys-as-built-by-Parcells theory and responding to Johnson's comments.
"It's not a matter of me giving or not giving Bill credit," Owens said, according to The Dallas Morning News. "Everybody wants to make a big deal, that this is the team he built. It doesn't matter. ... My thing is give credit to Wade [Phillips]. The difference between Wade and Parcells is this: Parcells, he didn't use me as a playmaker; Wade, he got the staff, and that's what I'm being used as.
"Plain and simple, without trying to be negative or anything. I'm being used as a playmaker, and as I said, the proof is in the pudding."
And then back to delivering a verbal barrage at Johnson:
"Those guys are probably talking about me, chopping it up, drinking coffee," Owens said. "They can have their little pity party and talk about me all day long. It doesn't bother me. There's a lot of people on the ESPN panel and across the country that has observed what has happened this year versus last year. And there's a lot of people that just don't want to give credit for what Wade has done and what wasn't done last year. That's it. I'm not trying to be negative."

Truth is... that I had already made the picks on a Word doc (i.e. needed to think about it).
