Penalties being considered for the Pats - UPDATED 1/1/2020

You're confused.

Russini is getting FAR more play and you're completely silent on that.

This Leyden guy must've stolen your puppy?
.

I'm not silent, I just happen to see your post and thought to respond on it.

They're all a crock, I'm ignoring them because that's what you do with trolls.

Schefter right now talking about the Pats statement - a production crew independent of the team taped the sideline and violated the policy. He basically said “caught again”

 

[Tottie]

Beyond stupid to even have this happen at all even though it's really nothing. They know the trolls are waiting in the wings. How appropriate it was to film "do your job". Kraft Productions forgot to do theirs!

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Why why why do we get into this crap! This is all Kraft! If he knows the damn rules, why do all this? We got dinged once for “spygate”. Now part 2? Against the Bengals!!!! Sick of Kraft and sick of defending this crap all the time.

Not a Bob Kraft fan, but he doesn't get involved with producing documentaries...that's on the Kraft Production people

 

[bormio]

Pats had no choice - the tape is the tape

 

[sb1]

Time for Kraft Productions to disband I think after this nonsense.

 

[catent]

This has Kraft's hands all over it...basically capitulating..

I disagree.

They explained the situation clearly and thoroughly, and assuming they're telling the truth (which I fully believe they are), this should be a complete non-factor; football ops was not involved.

Telling the truth should not be seen as weakness; in fact, it's quite refreshing to see this amount of transparency, forwardness and candidness from a public entity/figure in today's world.

The only bits I would have reworded are, "inappropriately filmed the field from the press box". Remove "inappropriately" and just say, " ... the production crew - without specific knowledge of League rules - filmed the field from the press box". There is no need to say "inappropriately" since the action was entirely appropriate in the context it occurred.

Additionally, the final sentence of "We accept full responsibility for the actions of our production crew ... " is unnecessary. Just end on the football staff being entirely uninvolved and leave it at that.

$100,000 fine at Kraft and it's done.

I'm onto Cincinnatti.

Hahahahahahahaha good luck with that.

The fact he said Patriots accept all responsibility are you kidding me.
Time for a new owner

No one seemed to care when the Jets did it.

Photo of Jets employee with sideline camera creates stir

 

[Tottie]

The pats probably don't even have the tape and if you can't see anything at all in terms of signals (even though it doesn't matter if you can), the NFL should say so when they release their statement to fine the team.

 

[Love The Drake]

Hahahahahahahaha good luck with that.

The NFL was going to punish the Patriots then realized they traded a second for Sanu and rewarded us a compassion pick back instead

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The Pats will get fined at least because Goodell's "should have known" standard...

 

[festy1986]

If this blows up then that's the end for everyone.

Why? If they are S T U P I D enough to do this, why wouldn’t you own it? Why lie about it?

As long as it’s not the Sean Payton standard

Felger!!!!!!

Borges!!!!!!

Chris Mortensen!!!!!!!!!

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

How stupid can they be? Even if it was accidental, how stupid?

Bring back AB and this news goes away quickly. Just sayin.

OMG.
What an idiot owner and staff.
After everything this Org has been through, you would allow some dummies free access to filming anywhere?

WTF? Even if no ill intent, WTF?????????????
Geez, I'm really losing my patience with OLD MAN Kraft.
Go away
