Does anyone know the rule? (taping on sidelines)

[RayClay]

I've read some interesting observations about BB's "interpretation" of the rule.

He's nothing if not a technical nitpicker about such things, so what is the rule?

From my very basic understanding the rule states that "No video taping is allowed by a team from the sideline" You could add to this "......Without the expressed writen permission of the NFL. Any unauthorized video taping is prohibited....."

BMU's thread has the bonafide's. I'll quote from whiza since this thread is redundant now.

# Ray Anderson, the league's head of football operations, sent a memo to head coaches and GMs last September 6 that said: "Video taping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent's offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches' booth, in the locker room, or at any other locations accessible to club staff members during the game."
