Default Steelers' Farrior: "I'm mad that we didn't do it first"

Interesting article.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_552660.html


Does anyone get the feeling that the steelers may not be innocent bystanders?

Chances are they did... before Farrior was even born.

I get the feeling that most of the teams in the league aren't.

One team that I don't think was in the taping business was the Rams. The way I remember it the Rams were all about themselves, Martz said he didn't care what the other team did he just ran whatever he wanted.

I think the Rams may have gotten a raw deal in all this. Martz went nuts after that loss and became paranoid. Now it turns out he may have had a reason to be.

The sad thing for Martz is that he always praised Belichick. Even recently he said he has the highest respect for Belichick, and he hopes the allegations aren't true.

If it turns out the Pats cheated the Rams, I will feel we owe the Rams an apology.

let me summarize your post:

The Rams coach was a stubborn unprepared moron so the pats should apologize for this.

The Steelers also came out and said that they didn't feel that the taping affected any of the games against the Pats, which surprises me. It does suggest to me, as a previous poster already stated, that the Steelers may have recently found out that they're pretty close to being implicated, or could easily be implicated, and this is a sort of preemptive damage control.

It's also worth noting that Farrior was a Jet before he was a Steeler, and at that time Belichick was his defensive coordinator.

Funny how all these mediots are blabbing up a storm when Mike Martz GOT FIRED as HC of the Rams and has had a hard time even getting and keeping an O.C. job in this league since....YET..."Patriots STOLE SIGNALS!!!!...SCREWED MARTZ!!!!"....what a bunch of bull....anybody who saw the game saw the Rams get punched in the mouth...end of freaking story.

I seriously doubt the Steelers were doing it because Cowher was adamant that he never taped.

On the other hand, Dungy dissed Belichick for not upholding the standards of the game, and meanwhile he employs Howard Mudd, the guy who taught Jimmy Johnson to tape, and he goes along with the amplification of crowd noise, the heating of the dome in big games, and the changing of the rules in committee, all to benefit his team, so you never know.

Doing it the past doesn't make it right for teams to do it now.
