It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I don't think it is a CBA issue, but rather a "rules of the league" issue... I think I saw an official rules quote in one of the many articles I have read today on the subject. I will see if I can find that article again.as it is laid out in the official CBA and not a quote from a website that mor or may not be correct.
That way we can better determine if BB's interpretation of this policy is a good one or bad one.
Anyone here good at searching out this stuff?
Too bad it wasn't a camera being used in a dome stadium setting ..............Here's what was posted in another thread, I assume it's complete :
"Page 105 of the league's Game Operations manual says: "No video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game." It later says: "All video shooting locations must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead."

On second thought.
Go back in time to the past AFCCG in the DOMED stadium in Indy where after coming back from 1/2time the Indy offense owned the Pats defense.
Was Polian seen with camera in hand heading to the Colts lockeroom at halftime after seeing his offense stymied the first half?
Now there's a conspiracy theory if ever there was one
Maybe it's tme to float this one around as BB's true motive to prove a point.
Anyone have the time or inclination ......

Scouring the non-player section of the rules, I can't find anything about cameramen in there, beyond that they aren't allowed in the endzones or on the field of play during a play, and that like all other sanctioned non-players, that they cannot influence the play on the field by entering it or committing any other flagrant acts towards the players or it's an on field penalty. I'd like to see this year's rulebook.
Reiss posted the rule a few days ago: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2007/09/rules_in_focus.html
# 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."
