Tape "leaked" to FOX.
Before you "help out" you need to read the post you are "helping" with.

I've instructed Coach Belichick to refrain from sending any information in to you until such time as you can guarantee that it will not happen again.

If you'd like, you, and only you, are welcome to come here and see all the information you want. But we are not going to allow our competitors to have information that could compromise our preparations and game planning abilities."
Five star post! Why would we give Goodell anything more? He'll bully us into handing over more stuff to get leaked to the media.

Bingo...every single solitary piece of information BB has about the Jets should be spread throughout the league.

Let all teams know their signals, tendencies and plays.

Make Eric the rat squirm and have to try to change up everything he is now doing.

Does anyone have a link to the tape? I saw a clip of it on TV, but couldn't find it on Youtube.

You are all delusional if you think that the media, who have created this witch hunt - is going to do anything to discredit it, nor embarrass anyone that was willing to hand over things to the media.

Any attempt to find out who it was will be with the goal of coopting the source and make them a better offer.

All in all, I think this has been a great education for those who think that most of what they see on TV and read in newspapers is anything other than self-serving agenda-driven propaganda.

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reports that the NFL might investigate the manner in which the tape confiscated on September 9 from Pats employee Matt Estrella was released to Jay Glazer of FOX.

Two unnamed sources leaked to Cole that the leak to Glazer might be explored by the league office.

"It should not have happened and we are very disappointed about it," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Cole regarding the leak of the tape. "But it does not impact what we are doing."

Cole also reports that Commissioner Roger Goodell was "exceptionally angry" about the leak.

"This is the kind of thing where [Patriots owner Robert] Kraft looks at us and says, 'All you guys do is favor the Jets,'" the source told Cole. "This kind of stuff puts us in a bad position."

It also creates a perception problem for Goodell, given that his wife is FOX News Channel anchor Jane Skinner. More than a few PFT readers have speculated that the league office intentionally leaked the tape to Mrs. Goodell's employer. But as some Internet hack wrote in his Week Two Ten-Pack for SportingNews.com, the tape didn't come from the league office: "[S]everal copies of the tape were made because several people outside of the league office -- such as members of the Competition Committee -- needed to see it. Once the thing exited the exclusive possession of the league office and got into the hands of folks at multiple teams, it became much harder to keep the tape under wraps."

So if there's an investigation, the NFL needs to look not only at folks in the league office who had access to the tape, but also at anyone with any team that got the thing (such as, for example, Pats nemesis Bill Polian, the president and G.M. of the Colts).

We also think that the league should look upstream on this one. It's presumed that the camera and tape were immediately but into a box that was hermetically (thanks, Tiki) sealed and sent to Park Avenue. But what if someone in the Meadowlands made a copy of the thing before it was bagged and tagged?

Regardless of how it turns out, it makes for an interesting subplot to one of the most compelling NFL stories in years.
If the league is going to let others make copies, it is still their responsibility to ensure they are not leaked.

Exactly...and yesterday I sent the Commissioner's office an email calling into question the integrity of his office.

The 'Leak' coupled with the request for more information should send an absolute scare through out the rest of the league. Just think, now every team will know all the Pat's secrets about every other team in the league and then they will have that used against them in all their future games(but they wouldn't use it themselves against all their opponents, or would they?). I guess the one team the Pats have not played yet becomes the real winner. Otherwise, is this is what is meant as 'leveling the playing field'??
