Patriots Camera Confiscated. Spying on Jets?

I remember hearing about this last year after the Packers game, but nothing seemed to come out of it last time. Sources: Camera confiscated after claims of Pats spying on Jets http://sports.espn.go.com...&source=ESPNHeadlinesNFL security confiscated a video camera and its tape from a New England Patriots employee on the team's sideline during Sunday's game against the Jets in a suspected spying incident, sources said. .... The Patriots' cameraman was suspected of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches who were sending signals to their unit on the field, the sources said. The league also is investigating some radio frequency issues that occurred during the game.
The league's competition committee could conduct a conference call about the incident, which violates NFL policy, and ultimately recommend a penalty that could cost the Patriots a future draft pick or picks if it verifies that the team was spying on the Jets.
"It's not their first time," a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.
In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins. more...

that other places resident pats fanboi/apologist This is a joke. Wow - a man with a camera on the sidelines of an NFL game - who would have thunk? Outrageous!!! I've never seen that before!! Gimme a break. First of all, you've got to be kidding me if you think the Patriots are the only team in the entire NFL that has been doing this. Second, what good does it do anyways? I mean any guy with a clipboard standing there watching could accomplish the same thing...probably even easier that way, and I'm sure every team does that. So as far as any competitive advantage goes, I don't think there is one.
Remember last year when the Dolphins were accused of stealing the Patriots signals at the end of the season? It happens every year, in every game, in every sport. Why do you think they change the signals all the time? Teams steal other teams signals, it's part of the game. Using a camera to do it against league policy is probably a dumb thing to do, but I doubt it really helps more than watching with your eyes and recording it in a notebook, which every team probably does to some degree.
The dumb thing is the Patriots have no need to do this anyways, so I'm not sure why they would take the risk, doesn't make much sense. But, you're kidding yourself if you think other teams don't pull every trick in the book to try and win. Mangini and Belichick and the Pats and Jets have a pretty intense rivalry, and each team will do anything to beat the other.Dave2golf Figs 9/11/07 B-B-B-But everyone else does it, too!!

I just heard the punishment. They have to go back to the old logo, but they have to add the image of Roger Goodell banging him from behind, with no courtesy reach around.
