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.

I think Green Bay says they did it to them last year.

Apparently there have been several teams that have suspected it. This is huge.

Hopefully, Belichick will do the right thing and resign. Of course, he won't unless public pressure builds. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Nothing is going to happen. I don't know what kind of evidence they have, but this doesn't strike me as something the NFL is going to crack down on.

Maybe they should, but I just don't see this blowing up.

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.

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.

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 they should strip the Pats of their Super Bowls, strip them of the win vs the Jets, disband the team, then move them to Alaska. Their new name can be the Anchorage Ass Pounders!

Now we're off and running. I think they should make Belechik share a studio apartment with Randy Moss and be filmed for an MTV reality show.
