I think this week makes clear that there are rules for other people, and then, appropriately enough, there's what we call a PATRIOTS RULE.

PFnV

That is true ... but applies only to subjects covered by the Operations Manual (for off-field actvity).

Its counterpart covers the rules of play, as enunciated in the Rule Book,
... and is called THE COLTS RULE.

It is when the league doesn't want to dirty its image any more than it already has. It was fine when the Pats got the black eye and were scapegoated for league-wide practices, but it just wouldn't do to sully the rep of a big market NY team!

This point cannot be emphasized enough. We live in a society where everybody believes what they feel like believing and nobody wants to know the truth.

And of course the media doesn't want to give us the truth anyway.

Yeah, because absent a spygate scandal the Jets are now and always have been a model franchise...

I dont want to let this go...and I'm damned sure the Patriots will rip the Jets another a-hole...if not for the infectious yeast induced stench that ManGina oozed out about our cameras during game 1...but for this latest blatant infraction the Jets AND the commish has commited. The Jets and the commish are in cahoots.

The funny thing is is both teams were cheating and the Jets were the ones that got caught all of you would be saying how smart Belichick is.

The Jets DID get caught last year. Why do you think the Pats had the Jets employee tossed?

And, sorry to say, but there are plenty of photos out there of the Jets filming the PATS sidelines in THIS YEARS GAME. The NFL just refuses to recognize them

You seem to be missing the point, Manny.

Belichick filmed OUT IN THE OPEN ...
mere YARDS FROM THE JETS' BENCH
... using a lad KNOWN TO THE JETS COACHES TO BE A PATS EMPLOYEE.

It could not be anything except an elaborate middle finger to RatMan.

And RatMan took it that way.
Which is why he impulsively decided to ruin his mentor's legacy.

Alas, alack. All he ruined was his own career.
Such a shame.

I love the Patriots........................ but I am getting to the point of despising the NFL as a whole. Absolutely Corupt.

Robert Kraft is the biggest AZZ of all in this ... Mr. Kraft who actively promoted GoToHell for commissioner. Too bad Kraft never knew Roger was Polian's boy.
