I knew the Pats were cheaters...

Isn't this exactly what they complained about another team doing last year?

Yup, the Dolphins recorded the audio of the Patriots call at the line.

I've been wondering about the green dots on the helmets. It serves to reason that the sticker is needed because somebody was using extra radio receivers in helmets other than the quarterback. This would be a great advantage in the two minute drill or in any no huddle situation. Any thoughts on who might have done something like that?

As I understand it, you can blame Vick for this...sort of. I guess the idea came about last year when the Falcons had both Matt Schaub and Mike Vick on the field at the same time. I believe only the QB can have the radio communication, so when Vick and Schaub are on the field at the same time the refs got confused I guess.

I suppose if we ever put Randle El behind center and lined up JC at tight end for some trick play, this would come into play.

That makes sense. PFT says that the Patriots have been under suspicion in regard to stealing signals before yesterday. Apparently a videotape was confiscated from their sideline and sent to the league for analysis.

This is kind of funny

The late Redskins coach George Allen presided over the glory years of NFL espionage. The Cowboys used to rent out the second floor of a local hotel because it stood next to their practice facility, and they were certain Allen's spies were occupying the rooms. Cowboys safety Cliff Harris once told me players were convinced that every helicopter that flew overhead contained a Redskins spy.

I've always disliked Belichick. He definately comes across as an arrogant ass. As a matter of fact, so does Brady. Yes, I just said I have a distaste for two of the NFL's golden boys.

I'm totally with you there. Can't stand either one of those asswipes.

Chris Hanburger has a good story in Three Cheers for the Redskins where he talks about Allen telling him exactly what play the opposing team was about to run. The guys also said that Allen's security man, who they called Double-0, would disappear for a couple of days in the middle of the week and no one was sure where he would go. That's one of the best NFL Films features you'll see. Watch for it.

I think it's kind of fishy that a team has managed to pull off three titles in a four year stretch in the salary cap era. I'm not saying that the Pats haven't earned their place in history, but I have got to question some of the tatics they've used to get there. Bill Belichick seems like one of those win at all cost, zero ethics, kind of guys. I'm glad we've at least got a coach who's a hard working and admirable human being (he's also a heck of a coach to boot)!

Brady is far from a golden boy, golden boy's don't normally have children out of wedlock!

I think that if the Pats are guilty, the punishment should be that Belichek has to go read stories to sick kids. It would probably kill the evil f---.
