Reference. BB's statement released earlier.
Axiom 1. Bill Belichick is a very smart man
Axiom 2. Bill Belichick is anal when it comes to being properly prepared for almost any eventuality on the football field.
Axiom 3. Bill Belichick has forgotten more about NFL rules and regulations than most people in the NFL know.
In light of the above axioms and issued statement by BB, I can only assume that BB went into this game knowingly believing that putting the cameraman on the sidelines wasn't against league policy.
Now this would explain away the bizarre nature of why, after being wearned about this previously and after apparently reading the memo that went out to the league touching on this subject, BB still went ahead and put that cameraman out there.
What are the other possibilites?
1) BB had issues with the wording previously and never received clarification on the matter and this was his way of getting it answered.
2) BB basically said to Godell "screw your policy I don't like it"
3) BB made a mistake and forgot about the policy and is covering his *****.
4) BB wanted to mess with Mangini's miniscule mind.
5) Fill in the blank
“Earlier this week, I spoke with Commissioner Goodell about a videotaping procedure during last Sunday’s game and my interpretation of the rules. At this point, we have not been notified of the league’s ruling. Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players. Following the league’s decision, I will have further comment.”
