Patriots Harrassed by NFL/Jets Over Bugging/Electronics Suspicions - Conflicting Reports

The Krafts should wise up. So long as Tom Brady is the Patriot's QB and Bill Belichick the
coach, the other 31 owners will press Goodell to find ways to weaken them. The Krafts have
the choice of getting rid of Brady and Belichick to appease the other owners or fighting back
against the NFL.

Those are 2 options and Kraft chose #3. Keep Brady and Belichick and let them do the fighting.
 
So what's the big deal here guys? They tried to weasel us and found nothing, pretty much like the Steelers headset issue.

I bet that Roger Goodell sucked at the board game Clue when he was a kid.

Somebody get Dolores O'Riordan to perform at next years opener when there are 5 Lombardis in Foxboro :cool:
 
Which would mean each of them would be committing a felony under Massachusetts law. Not a good idea.

Jeez, kinda serious?
OK, so they can wear GoPro's on their heads in plain view.

Maybe when the wind blows Buffalo into Gillette would be a good start.. even if it is recorded.

Where are the three amigo's who work for Kraft Productions on the sideline when you need them?? Oops they are being strip searched and interrogated by Jets employees disguised as NFL security..
 
Curran got it.
NFL’s sideline shakedown of Patriots a big deal

There should be a point at which the league declares it needs some probable cause. Otherwise, these monthly, franchise-wide colonoscopies will continue until - inevitably - someone finds something that really isn't anything and the NFL is out another $10M. Non-existent evidence - like a lack of air pressure - the NFL's crack security team is great at seizing. It's the existing stuff - like elevator videos mailed directly to their offices - which prove elusive.

The fact that the Jets can come into Gillette Stadium and one of their employees snaps his fingers and the NFL responds by sweeping the locker room for bugs and interrogating Patriots' employees while conviscating their phones during the game is a very big deal. Very disturbing. Certainly, it's harassment. It's definately not integrity.

Just another example of the Pats knowing the rules when the other team doesn't.
The Jets must have an employee with the same job responsibilities. Every game between every team in the league has one of these employees doing this job.This security guy has been in his position for 12 years. Doesn't even know the position exists.
Need probable cause? If they had probable cause, we'd already be convicted.

http://nypost.com/2005/04/25/dirty-watchdogs-13-anti-corruption-cops-slapped-in-nypd-scandal/


Thirteen veteran supervisors and detectives from an NYPD watchdog unit that was supposed to prevent corruption and wrongdoing in a major police division have been slapped with misconduct charges, The Post has learned.

A lieutenant, eight sergeants and four detectives who once virtually made up the entire “investigations unit” scrutinizing narcotics, vice, auto crime and firearms cops within the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau are each facing departmental trials.

Improprieties within the monitoring unit surfaced last year after the NYPD was jolted by scandals in the Narcotics Division, where several present and former detectives were arrested for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from drug dealers.

Last October, one-time partners Detectives Julio Vasquez and Thomas Rachko pleaded guilty to stealing $169,000 in cash from a drug courier who was under surveillance by another OCCB drug unit, the El Dorado Task Force.

Vasquez was on his lunch hour at the time of the heist.

Last April, former narcotics Detective Carlos Rodriguez admitted to conspiring to launder drug money and use it to renovate his Long Island home and was sentenced to two years in prison.



Last Dec. 29, Deputy Inspector Richard Capolongo committed suicide inside a Queens police facility while under investigation by Internal Affairs for working a security job when he was supposed to be on duty.

And last fall, 20 cops were bounced from another inspections unit for failing to properly oversee overtime wrongfully claimed by about 70 Brooklyn South narcotics officers.

Another 25 officers in Manhattan were also suspected of cheating on their time sheets.

When angry top brass were trying to figure out how such blatant wrongdoing could occur, they quickly realized that oversight was not only lax, but that some supervisors were raking in overtime they did not work or cutting other corners during their shifts.

“They were supposed to be watching search warrants, checking on roll calls and watching overtime,” one source explained. “But basically they were part of the problem, too.”

The 13 supervisors and detectives – many of them former members of Internal Affairs with more than 20 years on the NYPD – were hit with charges ranging from failing to supervise to misusing time to crafting their work schedules around their personal lives. All but one of the accused were dumped from the unit by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and replaced with a new and expanded team headed by Harvard-educated Deputy Inspector Kevin Ward.


Spokesmen for the NYPD and the Sergeants Benevolent Association declined to comment.

A Finest mess

* A lieutenant, eight sergeants and four detectives in the NYPD’s investigations unit have been departmentally charged.

* Unit scrutinized cops within Organized Crime Control Bureau.

* Improprieties surfaced last year after several detectives were arrested for robbing hundreds of thousands of dollars from drug dealers.

* Another 75 investigators were accused of stealing overtime and a deputy inspector was probed for moonlighting.

* Since shaking up the unit, Commissioner Ray Kelly has increased inspections – more closely monitoring overtime, tightening the use of department cars and E-ZPasses, and checking up on cops supposed to be in court.


This freaking clown has the unmitigated gall to even suggest he's "security" for the Rats? He's their dirty tricks ex-dirty cop scumbag who teaches his friggin' kids to publicly wish bodily harm on innocent people You simply cannot make up such unbelievably overt scumbaggery. The NFL HAS jumped the shark


Joe, in your exuberance you are posting untruths and deflecting everyone from the REAL interesting thing about Matsroddi's history.

1) As noted by n6249c, he was in not in that NYC unit when the **** hit the fan.

2) He did not become Vice President, Security & Facility Operations in 2003.

He became Vice President, Security & Facility Operations in 2006.
New York Jets


Does the year 2006 ring a bell to you? It should. That is the year Mike Kensil left that job at the Jets to become the NFL's Head of Gameday Operations.

Mastroddi is Kensil's successor at the Jets and was literally handed the keys to his job by our man Kensil. He is obviously "option 2" now for Kensil in his campaign to harass the Patriots (since Kensil can no longer get away with personally doing it directly after all the Deflategate attention - hence the two NFL flunkies who were the interrogators and had to call 345 Park Avenue to find out who supplies the refs with their backup batteries. The comedy is that this sideline venture stretched for 15 minutes during the game because Kensil was hiding behind flunkies to do his job because of the media coverage of his part in Deflategate).

The truth is incredible enough without all the misinformation taking people away from the real story here.

[Post edit: For some reason, the only Jets Media Guide page on Mastroddi that comes up on a Google Search of the name "Robert Mastrioddi" was, unnoticed by me, from the year 2012. The above info on him taking the job in 2006 is incorrect. The page says he has been with the Jets for 9 years, however the media guide is from 2012. For some reason, there is no 2015 media guide page in the robert Mastroddi Google Search list. Hence, Mastroddi joined the Jets in 2003.]

Folks chortled when months agoI said here that the NYJFL would not give up trying to get the Pats and achieve their goals of getting BB out of the league and completely discrediting the Pats Lombardi trophies. Condescending lectures about how the league was not like the old NBA, etc. and nothing more could happen. We still see the hubris from some asserting that Brady & BB are SO good that the league can't stop our next Lombardi. They can and they will not stop trying as they know that the spineless owner will simply let them.

It's clear except to the most obtuse that there is a pattern of behavior likely stimulated by the 31 that involves some how, any way "catching" the Patriots. The "where there's smoke there's fire" mentality that pervades every single football site outside of NE is interpreted as "proof" by the legions. As those of us with reason know, it doesn't have to be real, it just need to have enough cache to capture the media.

Curran has it right. But it will not stop because feckless Bob will do nothing of substance to make it stop. I keep reading posts from Kraft rump swabs insisting that he's furiously working behind the scenes protesting and castigating the tormentors but there is no evidence of this ludicrous claim. Probably from the same minions who lectured us months ago about Bob Kraft's great respect and influence in the league.
 
Based on his LinkedIn profile I really don't see how he is remotely qualified to be in the position he currently occupies.

Meanwhile, the Pats Dir of Security has run ops at Wembly Stadium, the Olympics, fought wars, taken down corrupt African governments and received the highest military award the UK has to offer.

Par for the course for the Jests.

What a 1/2 ass operation.
 
OK, as you can imagine, I am loathe to quote MCI's reporting on anything, but as it turns out, he has had a very interesting new twist in this story fall into his lap (and, evidently, he has it from two direct sources):

Ben Volin | Sunday Football Notebook: NFL trade deadline has possibilities - The Boston Globe

"And as for the in-game questioning of Patriots employees, the Patriots are suspicious that the Jets asked NFL security to get involved, the Jets declined to comment, an NFL source insisted that the Jets had nothing to do with it, and then Pro Football Talk obtained an internal e-mail stating, “Jets security director Robert Mastroddi made an inquiry with NFL security regarding the presence of two individuals wearing headsets and Patriots attire.” Two sources who witnessed it told me they heard a Jets coach say, “We got that [expletive], cheating again.” NFL security found nothing and closed the matter...."

The quote from a Jets coach is SIGNIFICANT.

Todd Bowles publicly stated in his Friday morning presser that he had no knowledge of any sideline drama before, during or after the game last Sunday, claiming that the Jets just "go up there to play football".

If someone on his own coaching staff made the statement that Volin's two direct sources report, then there is no way in hell Todd Bowles did not know about the situation and is a clear and first rate liar.

The Jets and NFL (back and forth SEVERAL times now on whether any team requested the lockerroom debugging - - strangely and actively trying to protect whichever team the NFL is using here) are setting records right now for obfuscation and outright public lying within a 7 day period.

Is anyone in the media going to hold this accountable?
