Message: [QUOTE="CuseFaninVT, post: 1471644, member: 2002"] I am trolling Alsacs and I absolutely believe the Pats cheated. If it's legal to tape the signals, why have your employees dress up in NFL Films t-shirts? Come on man, these guys took cheating to an entirely new level - stealing the 1st 20 scripted play sheets, etc, etc. [SIZE=3][B]Play dress-up[/B][/SIZE] Have your employees suit up in NFL Films shirts so they can more easily film opposing teams. Great idea, right? Indeed it is. So great that when Belichick and Adams were with the Browns organization, they employed this strategy to film sideline huddles and grease boards from behind the bench. The Patriots employees tasked with doing this would claim they were with Kraft Productions if they got caught.

Mangini knew the Patriots did it, so he would have three Jets coaches signal in plays: One coach's signal would alert the players to which coach was actually signaling in the play. Still, Mangini saw it as a sign of disrespect that Belichick taped their signals -- "He's pissing in my face," he told a confidant -- and wanted it to end. Before the 2007 opener, sources say, he warned various Patriots staffers, "We know you do this. Don't do it in our house." Tannenbaum, who declined comment, told team security to remove any unauthorized cameramen on the field. During the first half, Jets security monitored Estrella, who held a camera and wore a polo shirt with a taped-over Patriots logo under a red media vest that said: NFL PHOTOGRAPHER 138. With the backing of Jets owner Woody Johnson and Tannenbaum, Jets security alerted NFL security, a step Mangini acknowledged publicly later that he never wanted. Shortly before halftime, security encircled and then confronted Estrella. He said he was with "Kraft Productions." They took him into a small room off the stadium's tunnel, confiscated his camera and tape, and made him wait. He was sweating. Someone gave Estrella water, and he was shaking so severely that he spilled it. "He was s---ting a brick," a source says. On Monday morning, Estrella's camera and the spy tape were at NFL headquarters on Park Avenue. [/I] That's from the ESPN piece. [/QUOTE]
