    NFL investigating spying by the patriots

    The official source for NFL news, video highlights, fantasy football, game-day coverage, schedules, stats, scores and more.


    NEW YORK -- The NFL is looking into claims a New England Patriots employee was videotaping signals by Jets coaches on New York's sideline during the season opener.
    The investigation was first reported by ESPN.com, which said that NFL security confiscated a video camera and tape from a Patriots employee during New England's 38-14 victory Sunday. The employee was accused of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches, who were sending signals out to the players, sources told the Web site.

    Bill Belicheat is at it again.
    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

        I think Miami accused them of this same type of thing last year. I blew it off at the time, thinking they were sore losers (which they are), but maybe there are some teeth to this.

          I saw that Greenbay threw the same guy out of the game last year for recording it.

            ESPNNews is now reporting that the NFL has determined the Patriots broke the rules, but hasn't specified beyond that.

              NE News week of 9/10 - Sources: Goodell going to issue "severe" penalties to Patriots

              NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, league sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.



              NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.



              Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.



              The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.



              The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.



              Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday but that is not set in stone.



              The league refused comment but did confirm Monday that they were reviewing a possible violation by the Patriots.

                Goddell determines Patriots broke rules

                NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the Jets' coaches, according to league sources.

                I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                It was all
                true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
                mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                      if they don't come down with some sort of serious punishment on the coaching staff, then this whole crackdown on players is a joke - I say they should give Belicheck 4 games.

                          Remember when the Pats were hated before this..... Yikes!

                            It is so clear that the Patriots cheat. here is the evidence. im sure they do much more than this.

                            the entire franchise should be banned from the nfl

                              Thank you, i needed something to laugh about.
                              It will be interesting to see how Goodell reacts to this.

                              The thing that kills me is that the Patriots are clearly the best team in the AFCE....why the do they feel the need to cheat?
