A former cameraman speaks
Posted by John Tomase at 3:16 pm
A former Patriots video coordinator e-mailed to say what happened during the Jets game was incredibly common and not a big deal. To wit:
“I read your article with amusement about the Patriots camerman being nabbed at NY. Having worked in the NFL as a video coordinator with both the Pats and the Carolina Panthers, I can tell you this happens all the time. I was often asked by coaches to film opponents, usually during pregame warmups. I find it hard to believe that the Pats would be so brazen with it. We often had cameras hooked up to monitors that the coaches would watch in the booth. I never actually recorded anything, so as not to leave evidence! And I can guarantee you the Jets and everybody else are doing it too.”
That's a no-brainer IMHO.
