NFL's mouthpiece (ESPN) at it again with OTL piece on cameragate

[ivanvamp]

This was all dealt with in 2007. All of it. It was known back then that the Patriots taped from 2000 through the first half of the first game of 2007. All this is is a rehash of what was known 8 years ago, that the Patriots were already punished for.

The takeaway from this is that it shows why Deflategate became what it became. The other owners pushed Goodell hard to really, really get after the Patriots on this. This was all a vendetta. A chance to get back at New England.

no coincidence that this otl piece comes out right before goodell's on?
espn, no integrity.

For those of us that can't watch, can anyone give us more on what's being said? I did hear from a friend that the Pats' taping was from 2000-2007. But wasn't it LEGAL for them to tape until 2006?

EDIT: I said this about Deflategate from the very beginning: That this isn't about deflated footballs. It's totally, 100% about Spygate.

It was legal then and its legal now to tape signals. The problem was that the camera was 10 yards or so to close to the sideline, and it was suppose to have a roof and two sides. It was suppose to be semi inclosed.

Don't worry... All Kraft has to do is threaten to sue ESPN on defamation charges








Oh wait, I forgot, we're talking about Bob Kraft. Nevermind

 

[Gronkowski123]

and of course that stupid " he's softer than the balls at foxborough commercial appears at the exact time.

 

[FalconHeavy]

ESPN is declaring war on our franchise and pulling out every old tired allegation in the book, putting a bow on it, and claiming to reveal shocking new inside information.

They are the worst scum there is.

as long as Krafty Bob is going to bend over this will keep happening. Look at what saints did after the bountygate and tell me is anyone talking about it like spygate/deflategate?

This is all on Kraft

 

[Galeb]

The same ********. "We know they did something, we just don't know what". How anyone can think the NFL isn't trying to directly influence the outcome of games is beyond me. I hope the worst offenses the league is guilty of come to light and the league burns.

 

[Froob]

Kraft needs to man the **** up. Nobody has ever been punished for filming signals. Get the real story out there.

 

[archstanton543]

Patriots already released a statement.

Link?

 

[DefenseRules]

The Krafts better wake up. This league is trying to destroy their football team. It would not shock me if they put a bounty on every player on the team. Starting with the quarterback.

 

[Rusty Coupe]

Kraft, they are going to keep taking your lunch money until you decide to hit them in the mouth, these are not honorable people who play fair,

 

[Mark.]

Link?

Greeny read the statement. Will have to look for a link.

 

[Oswlek]

Patriots already released a statement.

Yeah, they were quick on that

Am I missing something? Is there a link in there I can't see?

 

[Big Bucks]

Basically its 'There too good they must be cheating all the time' PMSL

 

[ivanvamp]

Pats fans have an easy response to any idiot that now brings this up.

"Dude, we knew all this already back in 2007, which is why the Patriots were given the harshest punishment in league history at the time. The only news here is that this report shows that Deflategate was nothing but a giant effort to get back at the Patriots, and it shows how petty and jealous other owners are. All it shows is how overblown Deflategate actually was."

 

[Big-T]

ESPN are like the "public broadcast" in a Country run by a dictator.

Roger Goodell is Kim Jong Un.

 

[SalemPats]

I'm sick of ESPN and going to boycott the network. Their shows suck, they're pouring a lot of money into soccer which i don't care about and they don't carry hockey. Goodbye ESPN

 

[sb1]

I read the OTL report and...yawn. Nothing we haven't heard already. Laughable that they are making taping signals such a dastardly crime when it's not against NFL rules. You could write half this article about any team.

I LOLed at the rummaging through garbage for playbooks stuff.

 

[upstater1]

So they smeared and attacked Tom Brady because they were mad at Belichick.

Ethical twits.

 

[SalemPats]

This is all on Kraft

He needs to sue the league and ESPN
