Yes, you were.

The bottom line with the article as well as your comments is that they give a reason why the Pats did this: to save time during the week of prep. That's it.

As far as Don Shula goes, I never want to hear a word from that MFer again. I wouldn't pi$$ on him if he were on fire.

Thanks for the link, nice find. Can't disagree about Shula, he's continuing to backpedal and talk in circles. He contradicts himself when he says the taping would provide an unfair competitive advantage, but then says the only way it would help would be if the other team didn't know they were being taped and they didn't change their signals, yet he adds that all teams change signals constantly because they all know they're being watched. Later he laughs at the assertion that the Pats are good due to the video tapes, complimenting BB and Brady for being an unbelievable quarterback, pointing out all the accomplishments after week one showing that the Pats are a great team.
