Yep, all Mangini did was bring to the attention of Mein Führer an issue with sideline taping. I'm sure it could have been handled better but if Patriots fans want to take up issue with anyone it's Goodell, Specter and the other fairies for their involvement in turning a minor rule infraction (or misinterpretation if you should so choose) into a circus event that became bigger than Ben Hur.Mangini deserves his share of the blame - but it was Goodell who was the one who decided to feign ignorance of spying in the NFL dating back to George Halas and Lamar Hunt.
Goodell knew that most NFL fans were too stupid to know the NFL allows filming of playcalling (just not from the sidelines) and decided to make himself look good by making Belichick look bad.
That wasn't Mangini's call - that was Goodell's and I lay most of the blame on his lap.
Goodell would fine someone 50K and take a baseball bat to their knees for jaywalking. That's the type of autocrat he is.
