Re: Merged all things Brady, cheating, bellicheat, etc.
OK here is what I found. It is not easy to locate the NFL Game operations manual or more specifically The policy manual for member clubs Vol II: Game Operations.
This link only shows the changes that were included in the 2007 version and the page that indicates no recording can happen on the field during the game. In this there shows nothing in the changes for the 2007 policy that indicate anything to do with video so it looks like it was there before 2007.
Also in the section is a part about video recording that teams will need 4,400 tapes for the upcoming 2007 season for the NFL's recording requirements. That part stands to reason that this was at least available to the teams prior to the start of the 2007 season.
So on 9 Sep 2007 they indeed break a rule that was in place. As for the recordings earlier than that, I can't confirm when that was added so I don't have anything there.
