Goodell Proposes New Rules to Keep Teams from Spying


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/08/sp...ts&oref=slogin

My favorite part of the article is when the reporter says, "some may call it the "Patriot Rule"". The asterisking of the Pats* "dynasty" continues unabated. All we need now is for Walsh to come forward with that inevitable Rams SB Walkthrough tape, and it sounds like there's been some progress on that front there as well as per the article.....

Its that attitude that has gotten the league to where it is today. With all thats surfaced recently its amazing that there are still people who believe denial is just a river in Egypt.

Thanks for the links Late Again. The article from the former Player sums it up pretty accurately although I know that in this forum it will fall on deaf ears. Not all but most poster here are concerned with further penalizing NE and only NE and could care less about any other reports that further exposes the NFL of cheating being a way of life in the league. The Denver and San Francisco salary cap violations are further proof of that. Neither were swept under the carpet but everybody seems to forget about them like they didn't give those teams a competitive advantage when in fact the cap was created to give parity to teams who otherwise wouldn't be able to compete for players financially. I don't know perhaps they just feel more comfortable living inside their own little bubble of denial.

This wil not fly because of if they do this defense which have been playing with one hand tied are going to slow the offensive scoring and scoring selling tickets.

UH OH! MATTM THE BIASED BUFFALO FAN SAYS PATS*! THAT MUST BE WHAT GOODELL DOES NOW! If Walsh even has anything, it's probably nothing new.

And it doesn't matter anyways. It's not going to change anybody's opinion. MattM, if the NFL comes out and says "Matt Walsh has produced nothing we didn't already know about" you're just going to say "This is Roger Goodell covering everything up!" and if he says "Matt Walsh has produced tons of new evidence that shows the Patriots cheated constantly" you're just going to say "See! Pats*!" which you already do now.

So really, it's not like Walsh talking does anything at this point.

They did 18-1

Seeing as the tape was taken by jets officials before the 1st half it would have been impossible for anything illegally video taped to ever have been used in that game. The broke the video tape rule during the jets game but obviously the tape was never used to cheat.
