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

[VectorPrime]

Are people here really going to believe the idea that there was a rogue camera crew totally not involved with the football operations just taping the Bengals sideline just for kicks? Ok you do you.

 

[Joey007]

Stupid marketing intern.

This literally feels like a worker not even involved with the direct team is about to cost us.

 

[scott99]

They are admitting guilt. This won’t end well for Kraft, Belichick & the Pats.

 

[Froob]

Has anybody refuted this?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Prediction: unless the league is able to link this to Belichick or a member of the football ops, this will go away in a few days...the fact that the crew was composed of independent contractors is huge. The Pats can just blame it on them.

It’d make no sense for sure. Not sure what they’d do with it for a documentary.

 

[festy1986]

Belichick is gonna be suspended for this if there is a punishment.

Brady is bailing at end of season.

Kraft is a joke and needs to go if either above happens

 

[Ladypatsfan]

I am getting to old for this. I might have to stop watching football. It's dangerous for my health.

Last time kraft laid down roger did unspeakable things.

He never learns

 

[scott99]

The Pats didn't inform the Bengals or the league, and admits to filming the field...

This is where they will be crushed in the court of public opinion, AND by the league. It sounds very sneaky filming the sidelines of your next opponent, and not telling them and the league, there is no defending this. We will be penalized heavily, and honestly, they will forever be looked at as a cheating organization. No team does this.

Yeah, as was said, you start calling it "inappropriate", and take responsibility for some contractor, and you are asking to get draft picks taken away.

Guaranteed Kraft has already assumed the position wherever he is right now and put a call in to Goodell letting him know he's ready.

 

[denverpatsfan]

and the texts are rolling in from my friends who are NOT Pats fans. This is really getting old.

 

[Ian]

I've said this before and I'll say it again...this has definitely been a really, really, really strange year.

 

[BradyFTW!]

And with this, the whole documentary has already proven to be about 100,000 times more trouble than it's worth. This whole thing is just pointless and stupid.

All else aside, it was pretty dumb of Kraft and his content team to hire some know-nothing independent contractors to bring cameras anywhere near a football field. How did nobody, anywhere in the process, notice that this was a stupid idea from the outset?

If these allegations are true it’s not Kraft who’s a joke it’s Bill because there is literally no chance he isn’t in charge of all this and doing this after the fallout of Spygate is the most arrogant flouting of common sense of all time.

Sounds like nothing to me but you guys keep panicking like a bunch of snowflakes.

 

[Sciz]

There was no reason for this to play out in the media. Why did the Bengals plant a team employee in the press conference to ask the head coach about it today?

Depends on what's on the film...if it's hand signals or play sheets, then yes. If it's just scanning the field, then no.

You are an idiot. I’m sure it is Bill who is in charge of these do your job pieces. Like he gives a fu**.

I admit to never watching them, but I assume there is significant time devoted to glorifying Kraft's role as owner. Am I wrong?
