Can't blame Mangini on this cuz Mangini wasn't spying on Belli... & mangini wasn't accused of doing this... Dog - the tattletale thing bothers me Mike - he was dumb enough to do it to him... he get what he deserves
On break now. They said before the break that they wanted to move on, but the last two callers were about the scandal... Meanwhile, this is all over the regular news, not just sports channels. Charlie Gibson mentioned it last night on the regular ABC-TV news and the Fox Channel has it as part of their regular news... this thing has legs....
I'm surprised there isn't a hoard of media and cameras on the front step of this video assistant Matt Estrella's house. Has anyone seeen anything to this effect? Or perhaps Belly or Kraft have sent him to sleep with the fishes by now. Also, I'm sure some intrepid report can find an ex Patriot defensive player or two that left on bad terms (Ted Johnson?) who could be coaxed into going on the record to say how the Patriots used this illiegal survelance in super bowls/playoff victories. I mean, come on media people, get to work, all the hard investigative work is a lost art apparently in this "sit on my ass and blog" media culture...
This is great stuff guys!! Thank you. Thanks for the updates on M&MD. I am glued to my computer looking for updates.
Okay... they're back and the calls are continuing... Dog: I think Beli has been doing this against other teams... not necessarily Jets oriented, but he got nailed with the Jets game
caller - if bill is such a defensive geniuses why does he need to cheat... Mike - this must have it's advantages otherwise why do it... Dog - He needs to be punished... Mike - HE IS CHEATING!!!
Losing picks is probably not that strong of a message. How about: 1. Banning Bellichik for at least 2 years 2. Losing the 2008,2009,2010 1st round picks 3. Forfeiting the Week 1 win 4. Forfeiting the division for at LEAST this year. Best record of Jets,Bills,Phins goes to the playoffs. If anyone got screwed the most from this(other than the Superbowl opponents) its the division rivals because we had to play them twice a year. That might hit the bottom dollar somewhat!
Dog: I don't think Goodell is going to award the Jets the pick... I think the pPats will lose the pick though Mike: you're alllowed to steal signs if you can do it legally, but you cannot videotape signals... caller is tryinjg to compare baseball signals to NFL and Mike is saying it's different... in Baseball they are touching belts, ears, etc.. But YOU CANNOT VIDEOTAPE in the NFL Meanwhile, break again... news Goodell has apparently apologized... did i har that correctly?... apoplogized to people around the league (I think that's what's been reported) Then they replayed Beli's "apology" which is such a crock of shit it's unbelievable... then a more recent statement where he says, "I said what I stated before and now we're off to San Diego"... arrogant bastard is blowing it off like crazy. I think Goodell has no choice but to nail them hard.
Plus, in baseball there is retribution. If a batter looks back to see the catcher's signal to the pitcher, he's going to get hit. Why not stand BB up and let Pennington throw footballs at his groin? On second thought, better make it Clemens.
how does taking away their pick help the jets. All it does is allow every other team not associated with this mess to move up
