It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Ignoring the move away from the point from goz421, I saw most of it - Kraft looked and sounded really good. And he pointed out that we were 18-1 despite not having the camera; so . . .
Anyway he sounded great and got me fired up for September.
It shows how little he knows about football. Now I'm a coach of basketball, but I can easily see how the film was used and why teams were taken who they only played once that year. Coach BB is more thorough then most. They taped all signals, after the game put it in a data base. Kept records on every coach. Tried to decipher when they changed signals, and how many types of signals were used. Had people with radios and binoculars refering to this data base. Then stealing signs from legal use.
It is quite simple to figure out, and I would say ingenious by coach BB..
It is legal, except for the spot in which they taped the signals. Why did coach not use high tech cameras for the same purpose from the stands? Think about this closely. The same end would be achieved and never noticed.
I really think he felt justified,and safe that nothing ould happen.
the meathead and mangirl just said how they caught kraft in a lie because walsh told goodell that he was told to be discrete and when cnbc asked kraft about cheating he said they misinterpreted the rule.
Well, the two Mikes have a right to take the word of Walsh over Kraft.
After all, Kraft lied on his resume, made stuff up about the walktrhough, and put sharp blades on his roommate's mattress while in college.
Oh wait....

I think your final phrase is very perceptive; BB felt "safe that nothing [w]ould happen."
This seems to be a characteristic flaw that is found among highly driven, highly accomplished folks that they somehow feel they are invincible. I'm going to reread Halberstam's book this summer to see if he picked up any of this. I wasn't looking for it on my first read, but now I'm keen to go thorugh it again.
BTW, welcome to the board. I'd also often thought that they just should have put a couple of people in the stands with hi-tech cameras if they wanted to risk breaking the rules.
