How is Mic'ing Brady's Audio Calls Not Illegal? - New England Patriots Forums

***maverick4*** · 11-25-2007, 09:18 PM

Someone please explain to me how mic'ing every single Brady audio call does not give other teams a huge competitive advantage, as much cheating as sideline video is?

Anybody can TIVO this game and match up Brady's line calls with the video play on the field. How is this ANY DIFFERENT from videotaping sideline defensive signals for post-game analysis?

You really cannot be serious...

SERIOUSLY, buddy. How is getting the audio call of every Brady play tonight (and matching it up with on-field video) so much worse than videotaping sideline video and synching it up with on-field tape post-game? How is what NBC doing tonight allowed, yet what the Pats did was sacrilegious?

worst part about it..its only Tom Brady and occasionally Manning

It's always manning too. I find it a little annoying too when they do it, but what are you gonna do?

My point is, how is getting every single Brady audio signal (which allowed you to match his words up with on-field video after the game) any worse than sideline video of defensive hand signals?????

is there a mic on brady / manning or do the networks just focus the field mics on them?

Hey troll, quick question: Can you name one quote where Tom Brady whined? Didn't think so. Keep convincing yourself that we're cheaters lol. Embrace your suckiness.

It did startle me how easily I was able to hear the audibles. There were two times where I could hear him say a player's name and that was who he threw to. Once he said "Wes" and Welker got the ball. Another he said "Jab" and Gaffney got the ball.
