Patriots Cameraman

[Edman]

It seems a man hired by the Patriots gets caught with field credentials and a camera, apparently zooming for signs and schemes.

I'm gong to look more into this. If this is true...

Or this could be the Jets insiders looking for excuses for their team sucking so bad yesterday.

I'd like to see something a little more credible than gossip on a message board. I think the following post in that thread sums it up:

Sounds to me like some Jets' insiders are a bit upset at yesterday's beat-down, and are providing a spectacular (and false) excuse for the loss.

If the Jets lose to the Ravens next week, I suppose we'll hear that a dog ate the Jets' gameplan. The Seahawks have already exhausted the ol' 'referees blew it' excuse...time to get a little more creative.

Sounds a lot like sour grapes to me as well. Nobody loses anymore - they just get "cheated" in some way.

It wouldn't surprise me. They've done some real shady things there in patsie land.

It's starting to get some legs! Ruh ROH!

Well, if it is true, they should forfeit the game and lose draft picks.

We'll see.

You ever wonder why coaches call the plays with clipboards over their mouths?

Its because teams spend quite a bit of time trying to work out what the other team is doing - thats football.

This isn't the first time the Jets have been owned by the Patriots on the football field and then thrown out a boat load of accusations and excuses.

Thinking about it, I wonder why this guy gave up the Patriots so quick - seriously - if the Evil Empire had hired a guy to blatantly film play calling or whatever, then I don't think they would pick someone who would drop the patriots in ti with 24 hours of being caught

How embarassing.

i guess it wouldnt be the 1st time the pats cheated, now would it?

The league's competition committee could conduct a conference call about the incident, which violates NFL policy, and ultimately recommend a penalty that could cost the Patriots a future draft pick or picks if it verifies that the team was spying on the Jets.

"It's not their first time," a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.

In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins.

Thatsa strong source then.

The best bit is where we decided to cheat against the Packers - obviously we needed every possible advantage against an 8-8 NFC team

I'll bet we have plenty of people willing this to be true.
