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

Love stories about bugged locker room. Shula used to think Al Davis bugged visiting locker rooms. Shula would scream at light fixtures.

I'd venture to guess that's how he spends the majority of his days now.

Patriots should just shut the visiting locker room and claim they did it because there are bugs there but they don't know where.

Once Brady/Belichick are gone, I'm gone too provided that Goodell's still around. **** him, he took the best sport in the world and made it generally unfun to watch.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be dumping the NFL also. How can anyone root for a sport where you know the administrators are trying to fix the games?

I will not be dumping this site though. I'll spend my time here reliving the magic of the Brady/Belichick era.

 

[RunAmok]

Considering that the NFL front office and at least one executive from another team have already executed a frame job on the Pats - they have every reason to be concerned that it will happen again.

Mark my words the NFL is coming for Belichick with a new frame-up this time. Maybe Kraft will finally realize what a POS commissioner he is fine with and protect his coach unlike 2007.

Apparently Trollin had more to say. A story coming about nothing.

It continues..

 

[JarOfMayo51]

That is pathetic. Boy what a shock hey declined to do that.

The NFL response was probably "Damnit! Now we can't frame them that way and take more 1st rounders.. back to the drawing board"

There will be a lot of false assumptions and stories out of this. Cant believe volin has a scoop no one else has. But it doesnt matter. This is what the NFL wants, to keep the pats in the public crosshairs all the time. Even if they were cleared, the narrative will be 'They must be doing something'.

Kraft is just tone deaf to allow these leaks to go on especially after he complained about the leaks in january.

They're trying to frame the Pats AGAIN. Something has to be done.

 

[jmt57]

Wow, this is totally messed up. **** the NFL.

"As one source has explained it to PFT, the Patriots have become concerned that a team eventually will plant bugs on its own and claim that the Patriots put them there. This has prompted the Patriots to ask the league to certify before each game that the visiting locker room is clean before an opposing team enters. Per the source, the NFL has declined to do this."

My concern is that the NFL themselves will plant evidence.

While I do understand that others may see that as being a paranoid, tin foil hat delusional conspiracy theorist, after seeing what has transpired over the last nine months with the football tampering allegations, numerous leaks to media, refusal to deny the lies, the "independent" investigation, the dozens of lies that were uncovered in the appeal hearing, and the over the top wording and comparisons in the recent appeal brief - I would not for one moment put it past Kensil & co. to plant evidence.

This whole affair was a frame and sting that went sour; why should I believe that these people wouldn't attempt to frame the Patriots again?

Anyone who's been paying attention to the NFL the last couple of years that would see that as paranoid is either blind or delusional.

Bob, get on the phone to your buddy.

I think someone needs a hug.

The light fixtures probably started it.

Why bother planting evidence? They've already shown they can take any draft picks the want without any evidence. BB's not union, so they don't need any evidence to nail him either. Even Brady, they just declare article 46 and they don't need any evidence there either. Goodell's gonna hear the appeal anyway. All he has to do is take a nap while some procedures are given lip service, and it's an open and shut case, evidence be damned.

It's too bad my Framegate II post got folded into this thread. I thought it was good and illustrated just how they can do it. I think it's entirely plausible.

Who gives a Fvk? The majority of "real" football fans don't believe this BS. It's just fans who are butt hurt. I have a good friend who is a Fin fan. He told me today, "I've been watching football all my life, and I've never seen a team as complete and on a level like the Pats are on". I talk to guys at work (Giants , Cowboys, Eagles, Jets...fans) The best part of this is we keep, not just winning, but DOMINATE the league. It's becoming so blatant that the average fan really doesn't believe this BS. The Pats are the best team in history (IMO) right now. Enjoy.

How can we get some bugs into goodel's office?

Exactly- it's all hearsay, based on sources that of course will never be revealed.

It doesn't matter which side asked for it, the NFL should have kept it confidential and under wraps, either way.

The fact they let it out only tells me the NFL is up to more of their passive-aggressive ********.

This is my concern. They would love any excuse to suspend him for a year. Somewhere in one of his texts he mentioned the Jets "bug" him. Wells will happily make the connection for a nominal fee,

The league is after us. There is no doubt about the fact that they'd love to nab the Pats for something even if it is fabricated. It's really a disgrace.
