Oh gimme a f'in break. The whole filming the pregame and practices turned out to be completely false.
... and I'm so sick of this pathetic Spygate crap that people STILL whine and cry about like little girls.
It's very simple.
Is it illegal to have six guys on the sidelines, in the press box, or in a blimp above the field, with notepads, stenographers, binoculars, etc... STEALING signs?
Yes or no... is that illegal?
No. it isn't.
What IS illegal, is using a video camera. The league told teams specifically not to do it, and the Pats did it anyway.... which is why they got the big fine and loss of a draft pick.
So at the end of the day, the Pats used a camera instead of note pad. And a$$clowns are STILL crying about it.
"Booo hooo hooo they stole signs and my panties are allllll in a bunch!"
"But it's not illegal to steal signs"
"Booo hooo hooo... they stole signs! Belichick is SATAN!!! And my panties are really chafing me!"
"It's not illegal to steal signs"
"BUT MY PANTIES!!!! THEY'RE BUNCHED UP!!!"
