What I hated about the column was how he belittled anyone who tried to defend the call, calling all defenses inane. He may make good points but there is no point in insulting readers like that. Ugh, it reminds me of every other sports columnist who calls fans stupid for doing A or B. For...

Who in the NFL would hire mangini now? Considering how he completely betrayed his relationship with his longtime mentor, who could ever trust this rat again? Then again, this is the NFL, so you know some moron might take a chance with him....I heard the Raiders may need someone, he would...

I agree, if the Pats don't make it and Broncos at 9-7 or the Chargers at 8-8 make it....lets just say I will be sick to my stomach on top of being heartbroken.

I think this is going to be the lasting legacy of Spygate...Goodell arbitrarily yeilding power to do what he thinks NFL fans want. Fans want the Pats severely punished for a minor rule violation, he gladly delivers. Fans what the Favre situation resolved, he forces the Packers hand. Goodell...

Just have to say that the two biggest plays of that fourth quarter were the KG miss free throws and Kobe's "I didn't even touch the ball yet I am not getting called for a foul because I am Kobe Bryant in LA" steal. The first, that's on KG, he needs to make those. The second....if he had...

My sentiments exactly. Pierce got in foul trouble and was cold all night. Garnett's shot has been off all series. Its not that the Lakers were doing anything to stop them, at least from what I saw, the Celtics just couldn't make a shot. People have cold games, I won't worry until its three...

I guess why these particular comments got on my nerves is because those comments attack Pats fans as unreasonable. It assumes that the only alternative that Pats fans see for Tomase is that he kill himself. Besides being totally outrageous and disgusting, its incredibly insulting. I think...

I used to enjoy Peter King because I think he is a good writer and generally has a good perspective on things....then spygate happened and everything changed. Today he answers emails: "PATRIOT NATION EVIDENTLY HAS NO PLANS TO FORGIVE JOHN TOMASE. From Jean Bissonnette, of Guilford Conn.: "It...

Your right, I completely forgot about that.

Thanks, it seems logical that the NFL would want to make it more difficult to video signals, but if this was their main concern, wouldn't it be easier to prohibit the practice altogether rather then rely on limitations of camera location. This is not to say that if taping signals was illegal...

Thanks, I was pretty familiar with those rules, and the memo, which do not state that taping signals is illegal, just that it is illegal in certain areas. Peytonsbetter claims that the rules say that taping signals is illegal everywhere. I personally don't believe this because it would have...

Re: Make tapin legal Can you quote the actual rule that says its illegal to tape coaches signals? I haven't seen any rule that says this, but if you can point it out that would be very helpful. I mean, I am sure you wouldn't come on another teams board and make a factual proclamation...

This is one of the biggest questions that I have. Why is taping legal only from certain specified locations at game time? What's wrong with allowing taping of public acts that all people see (namely signals from the sidelines and such)? Is the competative advantaged gained from such taping so...

I posted this is another thread but since you haven't read much on the issue, here is the most thorough analysis of the rule I have read: http://thesportslawprofessor.blogspo...pretation.html I can't take credit for the find though, I actually first read it here in another post, but no one...

As was explained earlier in an earlier post by someone else, there were reasons to keep it on the down-low (team may not hide signals as much if they don't think they are being watched) other then they thought they were doing something wrong. Though if you want to call "down-low" carrying a big...
