It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I just want BB to find a way to use the new rule change and either exploit a weakness it causes, or cause a normal play that every team runs to be penalized into uselessness.
Exactly 1 year ago, BB had mocked the NFL on the costs of this item. Can't believe it didn't pass again.
"We just spent however many millions of dollars on the replay system. I mean, there are 1,000 cameras in every stadium, so if somebody spills a beer on somebody, we have it on record, right?," Belichick said Tuesday at the NFL meetings. "Maybe we could have a bake sale to raise some money for the cameras. We could do a car wash."Bill Belichick pokes replay proposal
It was quickly proved 100% false

Three different sources who were in the room says there was no profane tirade from Bill Belichick at the league meetings.

NFL is decades behind in using technology in sports for better decision-making. It's a shame really.
Take cricket for example. In cricket, they use
1. Fixed line cameras since 1992 for line calls and runout decisions.
2. Predictive software/algorithms for determining where a ball would have been if not impeded. They use this to determine if a ball would have hit stumps if not blocked by the pads.
3. They use heatmap radars to determine which area precisely was impacted by the ball.
4. They use highly sensitive audio detection technology for soft/feather touches
5. There is a dedicated TV umprie/referee in each match with a high definition feed and software and equipment enabling him to make best use of all the technology. None of this walking to the sideline and put your head under a hood and wasting everyone time.
For instance everyone says Dez was stretching for the goal line ,and had possession but personally I thought he was just going down.
Or not blow money on silly investigations.Maybe they can pay Roger only $39 million to free up the needed funds.
They took 3 days before they implemented cameras and other technology.And each cricket match only takes 9 hours.
Saying they cant afford it is obviously total bull ****. For what ever reason (most likely that BB wants it) they don't want to install a few cameras that might cost a couple of thousand dollars. The excuse makes No sense when you think about all the other technology the league employs.I know the owners cite cost as a reason, but I don't think that is genuine. I think ambiguity in the replay and rules give the NFL much more control over the outcome of games. BB's proposed cameras would remove much of that ambiguity in a critical part of the field.
Bill does not go with the crowd, suck up or politicize his agenda. Hes a little rough around the edges, not much for window dressing and not afraid to call a spade a spade.Maybe I've become a little sensitive after witnessing the anti-Patriot movement that's been going on within the league, but I can't help but think that a big reason that the NFL won't install the endzone cameras is because it's Belichick that's pushing for them
The reason is that the ambiguous angles combined with vague rules give the NFL more control over the outcome of games. The cameras proposed by BB would remove much of that ambiguity. If there is another reasonable explanation, I have yet to hear it.Saying they cant afford it is obviously total bull ****. For what ever reason (most likely that BB wants it) they don't want to install a few cameras that might cost a couple of thousand dollars. The excuse makes No sense when you think about all the other technology the league employs.
