I know there's already a topic on the allegations against the pats but I wanted to bring something up and I figured it would just get lost in the 100 page thread that already exists.
Did the pats really do anything illegal by filming the Bengals sidelines? I don't believe there is a rule in the NFL rulebook that stipulates that the sidelines can't be filmed. In the past, the pats filmed opposing teams defensive signals from illegal locations but in this particular instance, the sidelines were filmed from the press box which I believe IS a legal location (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps the fact that the pats weren't competing on the field that day when the filming was done actually adds another wrinkle to this regarding legality.
What do you guys think?
