Patriots get caught with camera man taping NY Jets coaches playcalling

By the time ESPN reports on this, the news coverage will be out of control.

"The Patriots' cameraman was suspected of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches who were sending signals to their unit on the field, the sources said. The league also is investigating some radio frequency issues that occurred during the game.

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."

this was reported earlier today on ESPN.

this story is like steroids - this type of cheating has been going on forever, and sometimes people get caught, but everyone (or lots of people) do it. in fact the Pats were accused of the same thing vs GB last year, and nothing came of it.

anyways, I'm not sure it's a big deal, it's not much more than a guy sitting in the front few rows could get.

It's not worse, for example, than pumping in sound when the other team has the ball, which the Colts were accused of.

Does it really surprise anyone that Belichick would engage in this kind of behavior?

I wish my team's coaching staff would be smart enough to do this.

Not at all. I've been saying for years that besides being grossly over rated he is also one of the biggest scumbags in the NFL. Just one more incident that further proves that.

I cant remember wbich team, but in the Eagles vs Green Bay game there were side coaches actually holding up towels each time the defensive coordinator kept sending in play calls.

If all they were doing was focusing a camera on certain coaches then who cares. I'm sure this happens all the time.

Eavesdropping on radio signals is another matter though.

I love that: "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."
