Our now ex-gameday cameraman will need a new job - maybe he could do the handshakeI'd send the ball boy, that's about the right amount of acknowledgment!

It makes what happened at Gillette last year look reasonable - where we got completely screwed up by their defense - but it's clear at this point that we would be nuts to try to use anything we saw on gameday based on this; and it makes Mangina look kind of stupid for losing despite being able to screw us up if we were doing this.quite frankly if mangini knew of this , it also means he would be changing defensive signal calls and protecting himself and his team from such stuff.
So one of my clients from New Joisey calls me, and immediately starts giving me a ration of **** about having to forfeit the Jests game.
We talk smack a while, then he tells me about all this new work he needs done today.
No problem, I'll get on it. Then he goes back to the smack talk about the Patriots some more.
I tell him after that, his last minute work just went down the priority list and pasting the head of Mangini on the body of a rat just went up the list.
Shame it didn't take longer to do.
You guys do realize where this is headed, don't you?
NFL security is hiring I hear, because the workload just increased tenfold. If you think the Patriots aren't going to start making charges left and right from here on in, you're nuts.
It's going to be football and investigators for the forseeable future. What a circus!
If you think the previous handshakes were cold after the previous games wait until the next one... should be a little ice on the field after that one.
I'd spit in his face - or just walk off the field with the acknowledgment he deserves - none.
revenge is a dish best served cold.
let's paste them in Foxboro this year
Let's laugh when Mangenius fails to win the division next year and the new york press starts asking for his head.
let's break out the champagne when he gets fired the year after.
patience will be rewarded, Patriots fans!
+1.
Too bad though that Mangini is so willing to just torch relationships like this. Doesn't say much about him as a man. Someone needs to photoshop up a rat/Mangini picture.
Damn, I hate belichick but at least I used to respect him for his genius. Sad day for you guys.
According to a former coach, this is likely how and why the Patriots stole the Jets defensive signals:
The person with the camera, in this case, Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella, would tape the coach's hand signals as he sends the defense in. Then the camera person would verbally call out down and distance so the recorder's microphone would pick it up. Then when the tape is analyzed, the hand signals are matched up to down and distance and defensive scheme.
"They would have it all chronicled such as: 4-3 even defense, cover 2, hand to the belt, index finger up," the coach said. "Now if you had a sharp guy in the huddle who was in for every play, you would teach him the signals and he would look over to the sidelines and steal the signals and tell the quarterback."
