Spygate 2.0? (Reopened after cleaning - please let it stay unlocked)

[coconut]

bellyfat was adamant he had to know exactly where mcvay was during every second of the superbowl.

Does anyone have that video clip? I don't remember it. Makes sense in an infuriating way. To think two Lombardis lost to those cheaters. What horrifically bad luck.

Bellichik is like the Ed Norton character in Rounders (Worm). Worm was a great poker player playing straight up but he was constantly palming cards to beat the odds. I always hated that character, but even Worm is more sympathetic than bellichik because at least he had the excuse of having to pay off a mobster to save his life. I don't know what inspires bellichik to compulsively cheat, but I think I should hate him more for it.

Why would they do this? Because the penalties are always well worth the crimes.

Nothing to see here... move along.

The Steelers cheated in the 70's and the Niners cheated on the 90's. For most fans they are looked at as all time great teams. Even after all of the Patriots cheating the majority of fans still say they are a great team. I cannot ever give them any credit because I don't know if any of their wins were achieved without cheating.

Tommy no rings
i think the NFL owes the Rams two Super Bowls.
If this was the NCAA the cheatriots would be given the death penalty.

Never, the NCAA is toothless these days. They let schools self report, self investigate, and self discipline. You know what that would mean for Belicheat.

So more disturbing news: I was listening to the local talk show this morning on 98.5FM. One of the hosts were reading a report about now there is speculation they had shit on the Rams last year.

Now, I didnt notice this but wondering if anyone else recalls this. Apparently Billacheat was yelling at the refs most of the SB asking "Where is McVay, Where is McVay" when McVay left the coaches box. Report was that the Patriots were watching McVay. Report states Patriots may have been stealing signs and that is why Billacheat was so adamant about keeping McVay in the coaches box. I will try to find the link, as the host was reading something from the internet.

On a side note, the organization will not in any way associate Billacheat to this. Absolutely disgusting.

Why isn't this difficult to believe? I hate that asshole and his smug boyfriend Tom.

What was the cheating by Houston?

They were caught stealing signs. I don't recall what they did last year exactly but a pit her who was no longer on the team squealed on them. This year in the playoffs against the Yankees they had someone banging on a garbage can to indicate which pitch was coming. So the batters just had to listen for the number if hits on the can.

Joe Girardi said he was aware of the Astros cheating in 2017 and did his best to combat it by changing signals.

A few years ago the Boston Red Sox got caught video taping signals ( they must have asked that Dick Belicheat how to do it)

Maybe Kraft has shit on Goodell and that is why Goodell never does the right thing. Belicheat should have been banned for life after spygate I.

All I know is this:

Great comparison (and great movie). I'll further it by saying that if Worm had never gotten caught, people would just think he was some sort of poker savant. And who knows. Maybe he never did play straight up. Maybe he only got caught those few times.

For every rat you see, there are 50 you don’t see...

Well, everyone is OK with their own "brand" right..........

You mean a video of Goddell at an Asian massage parlor?

 

[Jacobarch]

They just showed the video from the scout this morning. Pretty damming evidence and the Pat's guy was trying hard to get it deleted. Cant wait for the NFL to unleash hell

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Belicheat deserves to be banned years ago. I would like nothing more than his career to end with a huge black mark like a life time ban

Who did the interview? Do you think it could be on Youtube?

 

[Mackeyser]

What did they "get away with"? Every time they get caught they get whacked.

Seriously..........you think that the NFL/Goodell didn't punish them for Spygate? Really?????

WTF..........this is why these conversations are irrational.

They never inspected the evidence to find out the scope of the cheating.

What if they found a vault with recordings going all the way back to before Super Bowl 36? There was NO WAY that the NFL was going to have a vacated Super Bowl or worse, award a Super Bowl to a team that didn't get to see the confetti fall and see the scoreboard with 0:00.

And because of the total lack of transparency, we don't know what happened behind the scenes.

Maybe the Pats went rogue a bit and figured they could leverage their new fan base into more Super Bowls or at least create antipathy toward the NFL when they were caught cheating. And it worked... Goodell gets SLAMMED whenever he does try to investigate anything (the Pats were smart in that regard, Goodell is a thoroughly unlikeable character in this drama).

Who knows? All I know is that whenever ANY cheating story is brought up, it's always the Pats.

Always.

It was sunday morning football talk on fox. Probably on YouTube

 

[Mackeyser]

Not always.

I was in the grocery store in the produce section and just dropped a cloud of mustard gas... it was BAAAAAD. It just hung in the air.

I booked it out of there, just kinda laughing. Well, some older lady walks into the cloud, STOPS and stands in it waving her hands. Sorry lady, my gas bomb is WAY more powerful than your meek hand waving. She calls over a stock boy to complain that clearly the vegetables had gone very bad. Now, he can smell it and is wondering what crawled up her ass and died.

But...the lady isn't having it. So she calls the manager over. The produce manager, the produce stock boy and the lady are now standing in this invisible cloud of funk. She's waving her hands around and INSISTING that they need to pull the vegetables and they are trying to mollify her that they will handle it.

I woulda stepped in if they were gonna throw away good food, but they didn't.

I still couldn't believe that they just all stood in that cloud... I'm sure there's a reddit post about that somewhere...LOL.

HOLY SHIT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

THIS IS HUGE!!!

I love that someone with the Bengals leaked this....cuz the NFL was about to let this go. Bet on that. They didn't want this during the 100th year celebration.

But that footage is damning as all hell.
