In the frenzy for the last two days, I am not sure how many read Mike Reiss' Q&A on the Globe yesterday. Excellent piece as usual.
Here is the link:

(Mods - please feel free to merge if this is already there but I don't see it in the first two pages. thanks.)
Note this simple Q&A on page 2 (bold emphasis mine).
Curious to know what the fans think of the above.

I've heard that it's not against the NFL rules to tape opponents signals but it was the point on the field from where the Patriots taped the signals that was the problem. Is that correct, and if so do you know where in the rule book that is stated?

A: Jack, taping signals of opposing coaches, regardless of location, is against the rules. The NFL clarified that in the September of 2006 memo from Ray Anderson, although from a technical standpoint, the league should probably now be writing that into the Constitution & Bylaws.
