Sorry if this has already been posted , but i didn't see anything about it

This is bull****.
That is cheating.

No wonder they demolished our line and beat up on Brady.

This is one game that i'm glad i missed.

LoL

LMAO AT THIS GUY , GO FINS

They cheated???
Please tell me you're joking!
They kicked our asses and we stunk out the joint.
Nancy Reagan was right. Crack is whack!

Figuring out signals from available game film is one thing; purchasing audio from a third party is another matter entirely. While it may not be cheating (I'm not sure it's not), it's definitely shady. It's not like Jason Taylor needs any help in tormenting us. This actually feeds into my belief that Saban is a slightly-above-average pro coach at best.

However, I agree with the poster who said that Miami did the Pats a favor by doing it before someone else figured it out in the playoffs.

Saban said they got the audio off of TV broadcasts. And even if they bought a video of the broadcasts to study game film, isnt that just good preperation? How is that shady? And how does that "feed into your belief" that Saban is a slightly-above-average pro coach? He figured out that you guys wernt changing your signals, got ahold of them, and then exploited you. Why again isnt that a sign of being a good coach?

I sat in the second row behind the fifty in the first Patriots/Dolphins game. Brady barks so loud, I could have taped him that game from my seat.

Damn, I missed a sale to the Dolphins.

Somehow I doubt that or his players wouldn't have made such a big deal about it.

My reaction was that it was fine. After listening to Shaun Salisbury and (forgot his first name) Allen the ex DB of the Raiders on ESPNews, evidently it's kind of below the belt. Not actually illegal but not supposed to be done - kind of like batters looking back to see where the catcher sets up or stealing signs in baseball.

So . . . well done to Saban for legally hitting below the belt. Too bad for him they didn't wait until next year as they're out of it this year.

Is this thread a joke? I thought it was smart to do that.

The problem Shaun ImAMoronbury and Allen had with it is that they "paid" for the audio clip. Salisbury said he didnt have a problem with it if they got it from the TV or something... just if they paid for it. I dont see the difference... its research and preperation...

As I have said, my reaction was the same as yours. But they played in the NFL. I didn't and I assume you didn't. It's the same with stealing signs in baseball. It's legal but frowned upon. What's the difference between that and prepatation ? Just a gentleman's agreement on how the game is supposed to be played, I guess.
