Fine if King doesn't believe BB, but he doesn't even bother to figure out what BB was saying.
Goodell quoted Belichick as relying on the Constitution and By-Laws.
Belichick mentioned the Constitution and By-Laws.
King references the Anderson memo. Wow. Great job.
For those new to this:
"Any use by any club at any time, from the start to the finish of any game in which such club is a participant, of any communications or information-gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, shall be prohibited, including without limitation videotape machines, telephone tapping, or bugging devices, or any other form of electronic devices that might aid a team during the playing of a game."
You can't look at game footage or scouting footage during the game. That's where Belichick hung his hat. I can tape it, I just can't watch it.
The following is from a 60 Minutes segment before the Houston SB. Panthers Coach Fox is showing off all the video tools he uses for game analysis/scouting. (I did post this in another thread)
"There's a whole lot of the chess-game element involved in this," says Fox. However, this computerized chess game threatens to get so out of hand that the NFL has tried to rein it in.
"We can't use any of this system on game day," says Fox.
This goes to the long history of only using the editing/playback equipment before or after a game and is what I think BB was referring to in the By-Laws.
For the CBS segement on how teams watch tape see:
60 Minutes Super Bowl.
Back the thread. King doesn't even bother to address anything close to this. Lazy, lazy, lazy.
