His interpretation of the rule is considered cheating NOW since it has made headlines. Do you seriously think that every other team in the NFL does not do the same thing? Regardless of whether it is for the game being played or a game to be played later, they all tape and have at least 5 cameras all over the field, surely one of them is on the other team\'s coaches. Whoever used the guy on 2nd Base stealing the catcher\'s signals and tipping off the batter analogy almost hit the nail on the head. I\'d prefer to look at it as watching the 3rd Base Coach and stealing his signals since he is giving them every pitch and has a plethora of fake ones. It\'s part of the game, and that is the reason why the base coaches and catchers shoot out so many signs. Hell, we did it in Little League! Times change, we are in an age of technology, and technology has caught up to the game. What difference would it make if the Patriots had a guy on their sideline with binoculars trying to steal signals or even if they had a legit player on the field shadowing the other sideline trying to pick up signals? None. But because it was a camera that records, everyone freaks. Most NFL coaches cover their mouths with their clipboard when talking in their headset, why? Probably because they know someone is trying to read their lips and find out what they\'re gonna do.
And whoever said their Super Bowls should be asterisked needs to remember who the coach of the opposing team in this mess is. Somehow I think he knows all about the Patriots signal stealing strategies.
And, the hockey analogy is way off. I won\'t even discuss that.
Let it also be noted that I am a Miami Dolphins fan, and probably the biggest Pats hater in Greater New Haven County, so my views are not biased because of the team in question.
