It is legal, within walls and with a roof overhead, at least that's what I have heard.

This is "roof-less-gate"

Either that or just have the NFL tape the end zone/sideline views and not allow teams to tape anything.

I sit on the visitors side of the field at Gillette and have seen many people with video cameras not wearing the red vests that media people are required to wear.

This is one of the biggest questions that I have. Why is taping legal only from certain specified locations at game time? What's wrong with allowing taping of public acts that all people see (namely signals from the sidelines and such)? Is the competative advantaged gained from such taping so great that it necessitates limitation of the location of taping? And if the competative advantage gained not so great, what is the big deal in the first place? I have not read one good argument why sideline videotaping should be illegal, I am not saying that there isn't one, I just haven't heard it. Can someone point something out that is helpful?

This is the biggest non-story that has become a "story" in my lifetime following professional sports.

The media hatred for BB existed long before the spygate story broke.

Lets not fool ourselves on the public perception (outside of New England) of Boston sports. The dominance of the Red Sox & Pats has fueled the hatred of all things Boston.

The media is now piling on KG and the Celtics.

Is that meant to be sarcasm? I hope it is.

I'm not talking about the games I'm talking about the media calling out KG.

I'm telling you, next time the jets are at the razor, Im dressing in green with a camera, and jumping over to the jets side line, and am tapin the patriots signals, and im gonna SWEAR THAT I WAS HIRED BY THE JETS TO DO IT. And if anyone on the jets say other wise, I'm just gonna say they are trying to cover it up.

Video taping coaches signals is ILLEGAL, REGARDLESS of where its taped from.

The rule that you quote is on game film, NOT coaches signals. Every team films every game, they just can't film coaches signals.

This is the rule the Pats broke.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this issue.
