omg

teehee

I loved how in the press conference last night Bill made his apology and said he wouldn't say anything else until the league made a ruling, and then the reporters all peppered him with more questions about it and he was like

"I JUST SAID all I have to say about it right now does anybody want to talk about the CHARGERS, you know, the GAME, this WEEKEND"

*crickets*

reporter: "Do you have a contingency plan for the team if you get suspended?"

yah every sports writer is all the time omg year of the scandal!!!

I've seen the "this is football" commercial on the networks, too, jhoshea. usually during games.

JUST TO CLARIFY I HAVE CABLE JUST NOT THE NFL NETWORK OK

Dr Z's take:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/dr_z/09/13/cheating/index.html?eref=T1

Sure, people cheat in sports. In baseball they steal signals. In football they bring in a guy for a week, someone who was just cut by the team they're going to play, pump him for information and let him go on Monday. They'll even plant spies at each other's practices.

But the things that make this Patriots flap so bothersome are the following:

• The arrogance of the organization, the smugness. We are the greatest, with the greatest coach, a genius, etc. What other team ever had its owner, Bob Kraft in this case, take the Super Bowl trophy overseas in the name of world peace. What'll he take this year, the videos of the defensive signals?

• The fact that this is nothing new. Stories are now coming out of the woodwork that cheating has been a normal modus operandi with this club.

• Good old street crime is one thing. It goes with the history of sports. But this video thing lifts it to a new level of electronic surveillance and into the realm of the hi-tech, white collar crime that we all hate. Put these guys on the business page, for God's sake. There's no place for them in sports.

Last year the Lions played the Patriots in Foxboro. At one point their coach, Rod Marinelli, phoned up to the press box, "There's a camera pointed right at our defensive coach making his calls. Is that allowed?" A Lions' employee called the NFL booth. No, it certainly was not. So the videotaper was stopped. Then after a while he began again. The same process was repeated and he was asked to stop again. Now that's dedication.

"You don't really know for sure," Marinelli said. "I mean you don't know whether he might be doing something for NFL Films or a coaches' show or whatever."

"At one point we had a good drive going against the Patriots," said one Lion who doesn't want his name involved in this mess, but was willing to talk about it. "Mike Martz really had 'em going. They were getting fouled up, lining up wrong, we were moving the ball. Then boom, the headset from the sidelines to the coaches' booth goes out.

"Next possession we were moving the ball again and the same thing happened. You know it only takes two or three plays to mess up a drive."

Matt Millen, the Lions' GM, was talking to Bengals' coach Marvin Lewis at the league meetings. He started telling him the story.

"Yeah, I know," Lewis said. "Headset went out. It happened to me in Foxboro, too."

it's nice to have it confirmed that my pats-hate is justified.

OTM TIMES ONE BAZILLION PLUS INFINITY

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1302/1366700744_306a4d4633_o.jpg

ruh roh!

i think this could be to the nfl what steroids is to mlb. i bet paulie tags is laughin his ass off rn~

Mike Martz really had 'em going

uh yeah ok guys go ahead and agree w/this shit

Mike Martz OTM

Marvin Lewis ALL OVER that money

i really dont see how video taping someone who is in public and often on tv already is such a big deal. somewhat douchbaggy sure, but multicylce news omg!!! no

cap'n save a videotaping procdure

yeah yeah captian save a captain

id video tape the shit out of every team fuck them and mike martz and their hand signals

dude it's against the rules, it doesn't matter if you personally don't think it is a big deal

plz to photoshop bill snorgachick w/ camera in "I'm kind of a big deal" tee

that's not really the point, it's douchebaggy and kind of like a "final straw" towards the pats due to the fact that it's so public and pplz are whining about it a lot. every team does some bullshit on the downlow but the pats are kind of known to do a lot of bullshit to advantagize themselves when at home? and yeah the high-techery of this definitely increases the squicky angle here; i mean ts nerdy pats cheating v awesome raiders murder cheating

Man I wish I had a real graphics programm

Collier: Cheating pays dividends for Patriots and Coach What's-his-name

Friday, January 23, 2004

Two questions override all eight bajillion hyperbolic aspects of the ramp-up to Super Bowl 38. That's right, 38. Unlike most, this column recognizes as official the fall of the Roman Empire.

Question 1: How many Super Bowls will Bill Belichick have to win before the majority of Pittsburgh talk-show callers can reliably reproduce his actual name?

Question 2: Will NFL officials enforce the rules as written or will they instead allow Belichick's Patriots to do everything short of pistol-whipping tight ends and receivers in the guise of "inspired pass defense?"

lol we has a spy cameras v using stick 'em, i mean ppl do not like spy cameras unless they are attached to maxwell smart generally

they should suspend tom brady and redact the Lester The Molester rule

his reign of terror must end

lol great fans of stickum think alike

jhborg this wouldnt be a big deal if it was one of those things that was technically against the rules but everyone did it anyway, homeboy is doing it while everyone else is all like "well i wont do it if u wont"

^^^ otm!

WHAT NEXT FOR BELICHICK TEARAWAY JERSEYS?

tearaway hoodies

i've seen enough belichick flesh today, thanks

yeah belichick is not so much about the social contract.

xpost omar little otm

all them layers aren't protecting him. they're protecting US

tearaway jerseys on linemen would cause the NFL to go completely out of business in about two weeks

tearaway jerseys on qbs, otoh, would be so hott

man the more i think abt it the more i am like "dang this is kind of a THING" - i think mb PEDs are looked at with indifference wrt football players because the impact of one juiced player isn't as significant as in baseball, where one great bat can make a huge difference? i feel like some shitty sports hack just pondering this crap, but idk i was just thinkin that gameplanning is such a big deal in futbol and this gives an advantage to the ENTIRE TEAM~

http://i6.tinypic.com/48elj04.jpg

spying is awesome thats all i have left to say on this issue fu guys

it was neat to see faulk and woodson talk about it, woodson was kind of downplaying the significance of having video (because he's defense duh I mean what signals right) and faulk was all "you don't even NEED to game plan if you can get the defensive signals. You just execute at will!"

Is Moss holding Snorgachick's butt

oh wait nevermind uh I can't see black people

okay since this is basically the official pats thread, i am going to take a moment to blow everyone's fucking minds:

Given Manning’s new ring and Brady’s uneven performances in New England’s last two playoff exits, even the biggest Patriots homer on the planet (you know, someone like me) can’t blindly make the “If my life depended on one big game, I’d choose Brady over Manning” argument anymore without feeling like an enormous homer. Brady can grab the “Lord of the Flies” QB conch back by winning his fourth Super Bowl, but for now, it belongs to Manning.

[...]If Manning pulls off a Super Bowl repeat with this supporting cast, the Brady-Manning debate, for all intents and purposes, would be over.

-bill simmons

http://i15.tinypic.com/6805qqa.jpg

ha yeah i read that. i think im gonna just wait a few months then start claiming that manning cant win the big game like nothing happened.

oh hey sorry guys thats really pretty gross isnt it

NOT OK

also "homer"?

yah

homero

FINE THEM $100 MILLION

dude!

nfl considering docking the pats their first round 08 draft pick!

This is making my week. Next week i can gloat over the Browns victory.

belichick fined half a mill, pats lose draft picks.

Wow, lose the 1st round pick if they make the playoffs. 2nd and 3rd round if they don't.

Same sentence Chuck Berry got.

Bill & Chuck doin' it for the ladies.

between this and Michael Vick I hope cankles posts to let us know he's ok

ouch! at least they didnt do anything to threaten this glorious season.

this season = *

FOREVER TAINTED

http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/homes/livantes/IMAGES/sonatine.jpg

nah i actually dont have a problem with this. the only thing that impacts the team is the draft pick stuff, and a team at the top of the heap like them can easily afford to go without one pick. also, i have to say, i love belichick even MORE for this. dude is GANGSTA as FUCK.

he and randy are so similar it is crazy~~ ¯\(°_o)/¯

oh and i almost forgot - THEY HAVE TWO FIRST ROUNDERS NEXT YEAR ¯\(°_o)/¯

Goodell and his staff are becoming extremely adept at sweeping shit under the rug faster than the press can put together a half-decent op-ed condemning the sport. Sure makes every other major league commissioner look like a chump dragging scandals out for months and months and having whole issues of SI devoted to how fucked up everything is.

Anyway yeah one draft pick and not even a million dollars in fines is fucking charity compared to what happens when a player gets busted doping. Here's a slap on the wrist, now do us all a favor and don't go all the way this year.

if they really wanted to hit them hard, the league should've put them on probation for the rest of the season - no playoffs4u!

I forsee a TD celebration involving a camcorder in the near future.

do the patsies have a regular season match up against the bengals? that sounds like a chad johnson routine or "oh, you..." era TO.

Bill Richardson: "Something Is Wrong When The Patriots Face Stiffer Penalties For Spying...Than Cheney And Bush"

hahahaha i love bill but goddamn he has no chance.

Pats 16-0

remember they have to play the Browns in three weeks so 16-0 seems a little, how we say, premature

I'm drunk btw

Way to stick it to the haters, Bill!

investigation still ongoing, now they're looking into radio frequencies and shit.

now they're looking into radio frequencies and shit.

I heard this! would that account for opponents' headsets cutting out in Foxboro? also, could I hate Bill Belichick any more?

I thought this bit upthread was interesting...

Last year the Lions played the Patriots in Foxboro. At one point their coach, Rod Marinelli, phoned up to the press box, "There's a camera pointed right at our defensive coach making his calls. Is that allowed?" A Lions' employee called the NFL booth. No, it certainly was not. So the videotaper was stopped. Then after a while he began again. The same process was repeated and he was asked to stop again. Now that's dedication.

"You don't really know for sure," Marinelli said. "I mean you don't know whether he might be doing something for NFL Films or a coaches' show or whatever."

They were getting fouled up, lining up wrong, we were moving the ball. Then boom, the headset from the sidelines to the coaches' booth goes out.

"Next possession we were moving the ball again and the same thing happened. You know it only takes two or three plays to mess up a drive."

Matt Millen, the Lions' GM, was talking to Bengals' coach Marvin Lewis at the league meetings. He started telling him the story.

"Yeah, I know," Lewis said. "Headset went out. It happened to me in Foxboro, too."

Leave Bill Belichick Alone!

so regardless of all this cheating stuff, when's their first loss gonna come?

some tough offenses coming up (cinci, dallas) but those are also some pretty soft teams defensively. indy's gotta be one of the toughest games, i'm not ready to buy into the nu-pats all the way until i see them beat the colts, then there's a three game stretch where they play philly, baltimore and pittsburgh (i think PIT-NE could end up being the game of the year)

do they play philly at the linc?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act
^^^ thought this applied to them

nah it's at foxboro

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/images/0915-05.jpg

btw, big laughs at the description in last night's pre-game over the precautions norv had taken to protect his game plan.

way to go norval!

lololololol @ fear street

this article is pretty otm if a bit histrionic http://www.slate.com/id/2174127/nav/tap3

kind of over the top. is this drama really a big part of the game or are the sportswriters just making shit up? pats looked great on sunday but anything can happen..

i forgot it was schottenheimer that got canned at the end of last season.. mixed him up w/norv turner. both coached the redskins.

that article is kind of otm if you've never seen the patriots play ever before in your life, you guys mean.

im not sure what you mean by that - you mean like theyre always fussy like that

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/070918&sportCat=nfl

Will Belichick even be in coaching by season's end? When the Vick dogfighting scandal first broke, most football pundits, and most in the Atlanta and league offices, thought there would be few repercussions. Then they thought Vick would have to make some kind of apology. Then they thought he'd need some leave of absence. Then they thought he'd be suspended for a year. Now they wonder whether he'll ever be allowed to play again. By acting Nixonian, Belichick is accelerating his fall from grace. Today, Belichick and New England are trying to pretend the scandal is over. It would not surprise me in the slightest if, before the season ends, Belichick resigns, or is suspended, or is fired by Kraft, or even is permanently barred from the league. Belichick's head might be necessary to preserve the integrity of the game. Surprisingly soon, sacrificing Belichick to save professional football might seem an attractive option, even to Kraft. Remember, there is no law of nature that says the NFL must remain popular.

Uh.

well with over half the games in week 3 looking like they're not even worth watching the press needs to find something to talk about

easterbrook is nuts!

Quarterback Jason Campbell's helmet headset had shorted out, a hodgepodge of special teams and offensive personnel had gathered on the field and no one on the Washington Redskins sideline seemed to know exactly what was going on as the first half wound down Monday night...

WICKED AWESOME

belichick is the metatron

that looks like the world's gayest fan art windows wallpaper basically?

he needs to be holding santorum.jpg like he is the Atlas of memes

or maybe he can be holding brady + moss, one in each hand, like they are his GI Joes

or perhaps he is conducting AUTUMN THUNDER

AM I NOT GALACTUS?

doom does that which pleases doom

AHAHAHA

this is the best thing that could have happened to this club. perfect excuse to bring back the "us vs the world" thing that seems to be a great motivator for them. i hope this is brought up every weekend, if so they'll give the '72 dolphins something to think about.

I hope they get the shit beat out of them by the cowboys

i'm gonna make 'em love me!

http://www.danablankenhorn.com/images/2007/04/14/andy_griffith_a_face_in_the_crowd.jpg

LOL

hope they get the shit beat out of them by the cowboys

keep hoping tom. if the giants can put up 35 points on them imagine what a real team could do.

my point was that I hate the fucking cowboys but not as much as I hate this "real team"

oh right I forgot the chargers and the jets are amazing opponents

it's ok tom, i'd be full of hate too if i were a giants fan.

lol @ chargers and jets

u needed to cheat to beat teh jets lol

the tape was seized halfway into the first quarter so yeah, they were lucky to hold on the final 7/8ths of that game.

lol u needed to cheat to beat the jets lol

omg:

“I’m surprised this analogy hasn’t come up yet. Can’t you see Bill Belichick and Roger Goodell in the office having the conversation, and you picture Roger Goodell as Tom Cruise, and you picture Bill Belichick as Jack Nicholson. And they’re sitting in the courtroom, and they’re having this discussion, and all of a sudden Goodell is like, ‘Did you order a code red?!?!’”

– Dolphins quarterback Trent Green, sharing his cinematic vision of how it all went down

“And Belichick is sitting there. And you know he’s getting peeved because he’s even in there, that [Goodell/Cruise] has the audacity to bring him in and question it.”

– Green

“That’s the analogy and kind of the visual that I have, is that eventually Belichick just kinda snapped and went, ‘You’re darn right I ordered a code red!’”

– Green

“I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one that has that warped perception.”

– Green (Palm Beach Post)

“When you lose a guy like me, you’re going to do whatever it takes to get the edge to win.”

– 49ers linebacker Tully Banta-Cain

“I think we’re a better football team than we showed,” Tom Coughlin said. “Obviously I don’t have any real grounds for saying that.”

haha!

“When you lose a guy like me, you’re going to do whatever it takes to get the edge to win.”

– 49ers linebacker Tully Banta-Cain

tully was a favorite of mine too, sad when he left. he was finally getting comfortable playing in space.

the nfl destroyed the tapes, which sucks, i was hopin' it'd be on youtube eventually.

mangini all doing some liquid jumpstyle on the sidelines

rolling the clipboard across his shoulder blades

mouthing the chorus to watch my feet

he wasn't actually worried about the signals, he just didn't want belichick stealing his latest moves

cf that peyton manning commercial

<i>“When you lose a guy like me, you’re going to do whatever it takes to get the edge to win.”

– 49ers linebacker Tully Banta-Cain</i>

if this is a self-deprecating funny, Tully is my new hero. percentage chance of that being the case: 2% (+/-2% error margin)

wrong-o! It is totally a self-deprecating funny and was reported as such, though that doesn't show up in the quote in this thread.

NFL doods r bringin' the funny this week!

Roberto, you are my mortal enemy.

i am ashamed to have doubted Mr. Banta-Cain. Tully, dude, i know you read the board - I'm sorry man. You had a great game that one time you filled in for me in Madden 07 when Mike Vrabel got injured, and you deserve more respect than i showed you.

i'm ashamed to be Leee's mortal enemy, too, although i have to admit it's kind of cool. i've never been a mortal enemy before. i was a nemesis for a little while, but that's as close as i came before.

“I think we’re a better football team than we showed,” Tom Coughlin said. “Obviously I don’t have any real grounds for saying that.”

okay, sometimes Tom Coughlin is awesome.

though rarely while coaching.

I think Coughlin is running the Iraq war on the side.

It honestly took me a second to recognize the guy on the left:

I wonder if Bush will wear the headband with it.

actually, if you look to the dead center of the pic, you can spy the immaculate coif of tedy bruschi.

where'd that cat pse the consonant?

btw, this is patently untrue, and i wrote it before i understood what advance scouting is. spygate is so not a big deal and i would bet cash money that the rest of the league's coaches are just like *shrug* at the shit

Yah, but the filming of a practice the day before the superbowl would SERIOUSLY fuck up shit.

Patriots player arrested, turns informant
By DENISE LAVOIE
Associated Press Writer

BOSTON (AP) _ An attorney says New England Patriots lineman Nicholas Kaczur (ka-ZUR') was arrested on drug charges, then helped federal authorities in a sting operation that led to the indictment of a supplier.

Kaczur was arrested in New York in April on a misdemeanor charge of illegal possession of oxycodone.

The alleged dealer, Daniel Ekasala (eck-ah-SAH'-lah), was arrested last month and faces arraignment Wednesday. Court documents show an unnamed cooperating witness wore a hidden recording device during three drug transactions with Ekasala.

On Wednesday, Ekasala's lawyer, Bernard Grossberg, identified the cooperating witness as Kaczur.

The Boston Globe reports Kaczur denies knowledge of the investigation.
