We were using avaiable technology to make data collection and eventual analysis easier when looking for trends - which all teams scout future opponents for. But the media use of the term spy in order to make a catchier gate out of their storyline and the over reaction from a rookie commissioner and the jealous peers on the Competition Committee on whom he relied for guidance spun a simple technical rules violation of a poorly written memo into something that had to be bigger because look at the penalty and the outrage... They don't grasp that the bulk of it was tied to defiance and it was in no small part fueled by jealousy.
I guarantee if you asked or challenged Doyle he'd tell you well, we also taped at least one teams walkthrough, we only won our championships by 3 points and our D seemed to used to know the other teams offensive audibles...
By and large, people are sheep and moreso than ever mediots are just your average people desperately trying to carve out a niche in an increasingly competitive environment.
This is why Pats fans have to move on, as Bill has. Our persistent outrage just gives the sheep something else to bleat about.

And with that, lock this thread.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.
