LOL! Clayton said he knows for sure there's at least one other team in the NFL video taping,. and some other reports have said simular things (Schefter said his sources claim ten other teams do this). I don't know about the colts using video cameras but i know they're considered one of the best teams in the league when it comes to stealing defensive signals and they have been for awhile now. I talked about a quote from a Philly article (writer was Les Bowen) talking about the Eagles being somewhat annoyed with the colts, their ability to steal signals, and it coasing them to use other proceedures they don't usually need to use when playing other teams. Another article I either posted on here or in ESPN said they were notorious for their ability to steal defensive signals. I post all this so people will know, but there is one major difference....none of us actually have proof the Colts use any illegal methods when they steal defensive signals, and while they're very good at it they could still very well be just good at it legally.

Frankly I don't really care. The Pats got their punishment and I'm about ready to move on..... I will say if any other teams get cought I pitty the punishment they receive.

That might be true.............. but, lets face it, he was never worth the #1 we got for him either.

GOD giveth, GODdell takith away

I couldn't have written that any better.

I guarantee you that it is all water under the bridge for Branch. He won a Super Bowl with these guys and I find it hard to believe that he would be getting some sort of pleasure out of all this nonsense.

If I'm Belichick and I know the Colts are doing it, I devise a way to expose it and wait for the worst possible time.

I have a feeling more and more stories will pop up in the coming weeks about other teams and the issue of cheating...it aint over yet, I can tell you that.

I don't believe for one second he'd be quiet through this if he wasn't. You know damn well he'd be leading the cries. But nothing. I know a snake is at work.

If he says something you would say he should shut the hell up. He's quiet so he's behind it?

The Colts have been mentioned as sign stealers, but never video tapers.

sneakily.
quietly behind the scenes.

snakes don't make noise.
