Source: Jets' complaint prompted interrogation of Patriots sideline staff
And we continue to live in their heads.
If every minor complaint to the NFL leads to people being detained and interrogated, my worry is that other teams (e.g., Jets) use this as a distraction technique even though they actually have no legitimate concerns. They can just throw out frivolous complaints and know the NFL will overreact.
It is now clear that the NFL is now just blatantly overreacting to everything and treating the Patriots like crap, stepping over the line, being completely disrespectful, and has been doing this since the AFCC game. They seem to have the attitude that the Patriots are doing something wrong and we are going to do whatever it takes to prove it, even if it means disregarding basic courtesy and respect/civility and due process. (#patriotsarepeopletoo)
My hope is this only fuels the rage of BB. I wish he would go over the top and just hire a security team to protect all his employees from harassment from NFL schmucks.
In the second quarter, an NFL employee identified himself to three Patriots employees, two full-time and one part time, and "interrogated" them, according to the source. The NFL employee said the reason for the questioning stemmed from a complaint filed by the Jets. The NFL employee took photographs of each Patriots employee and their identification badges, demanded to check their cell phones. The NFL employee also said they already swept the visiting locker room for bugs.
...
By the end of the game, the NFL informed the Patriots that everything was done appropriately and according to league protocol and the Patriots had done nothing wrong. The Patriots were reaffirmed of this again Monday. The source said this type of interview from an NFL employee had never before happened in their years of employment at Gillette Stadium.
