Re: Blood feud isn't over yet- Belichick denies Jets had permission to film
fwiw...sounds like other teams gave the pats a hard time last year (possibly including the jets)...pats gave jets a hard time in playoffs, jets say lets give it back to them in the opener (though the rule breaking was a bit different) but it spirals out of control and becomes spygate (and i don't think anyone disagrees mangini got more than he wanted).
The Jets have regularly shot tape from both end zones at home and on the road since Mangini's arrival last season. They also give permission to do likewise to any visiting team at Giants Stadium, Mangini said.
“We do it every (game), regardless of playoff (or) preseason, just like we do it every day in practice," Mangini said. “It's not really that big a deal. (Permission) is a pretty common courtesy."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello agreed with Mangini, telling The Post that shooting from both end zones is common and within league rules.
“There are no restrictions on shooting from both upper end zone positions as long as the opportunity is provided to both teams," Aiello said in an e-mail. “No permission is needed from the league office."
