BB Goes On A Rant re: NFL Crying Poverty (goal line camera proposal rejected)

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.

Ernie Adams is already way ahead of you.

Exactly 1 year ago, BB had mocked the NFL on the costs of this item. Can't believe it didn't pass again.

Bill Belichick pokes replay proposal

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.

And by the way, the NFL makes gazillions billions more than cricket does.

BB was only trying to do the first of these. Lets have some fixed cameras since we use replays, and he was shot down.

NFL gameplay is so imprecise. We should be using lasers to determine forward progress. None of this "generous spot" "bad spot" nonsense. We should have precise 10 yardage movements, none of this 10-yard chains which are always placed approximately to that approximate spot the referee gives.

When games are won or lost in inches or less, it's a travesty that in this modern age everyone is so determined to defend "tradition". Once the rubicon has been crossed by permitting TV replays, go all the way and use as much technology as possible to improve decision-making. This is the route BB wants to go and the NFL is determined to abide by the old ways.

"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."

He is really funny. Get a few ****tails in him and I bet people are rolling on the floor or hunched over breathless with the death laugh.

Whats so ironically hysterical is that he - of ALL people keeps trying to make the case for more cameras.

Sheer comical genius on a number of levels.

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

Adam Schefter is going to end up getting sued one of these days...how many false reports do you get before you get fired. What a @#$% joke, he should work for the Boston media if he is going to have this much of a blatant agenda

the owners/coaches all **** themselves when belichick enters the room.

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

And each cricket match only takes 9 hours.

Maybe they can pay Roger only $39 million to free up the needed funds.

For instance everyone says Dez was stretching for the goal line ,and had possession but personally I thought he was just going down.

This "Dez" you speak of does not exist in Patriot nation, and this play you speak of did not happen in a Patriot game this year. Irrelevant and antisocial to use such language here.

Or not blow money on silly investigations.

Every year officials botch hundreds of calls. BB seems pretty intent on lowering that number. The powers that be seem intent on botched calls remaining part of the game.

They took 3 days before they implemented cameras and other technology.

Find the money angle ludicrous, wait until they get the bill from Wells for the Deflate Gate investigation.

The NFL just added another medical professional for every game, per the Julius Rule, and they do not have enough money for camera's on pylons???..

Picking up a lot of "Oppositional Defiant behavior" on the part of the teams who ain't us..

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.

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.

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.

For some, that means he's a loose cannon and no one likes to support a loose cannon.

Bob "gets" Bill. He works hard, produces and achieves. That scares people. Sadly...

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.

I love this man.

ESPN stirring the pot on this ridiculous headline

Really come on

They are just begging for spygate references you got to be kidding me.

So don't read it if it offends you. Also, if it offends you, then why the hell are you posting a thread about it on a website where, LITERALLY, thousands of people will go and search it out thus giving the writer clicks and ad traffic? I mean, really, that makes no god damn sense whatsoever. It's unbelievable. Team wins the Super Bowl and some of you are still hypersensitive about any potential Spygate reference. Watch this thread span multiple pages now when a lot of people, me included, would have had no idea that this article even existed had you not posted about it.
