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

By the time the media is done, the urban legend will be that the Patriots murdered Icky Woods and buried him under Gillette Stadium.

They will. There is no other reason to authorize the release of this but to try and create more uproar. You don't need to do that for a 4th round pick. They could of come out and taken that the next day.

It sounds like Cincinnati is pushing the issue and probably supplied this video. May have nothing to do with the league office.

That’s my most optimistic take possible.

This isn’t reddit dude, we don’t karma whore. The ratings really don’t matter in that sense.

Surprise Bedard would take that stance, I see nothing nefarious there at all other than a dumb kid that didnt know the rules. They'll spin it to be worse that it was but after deflategate, not surprising.

I'm just joking, please don't ban me for life, all powerful moderator.

Because if I couldn't post here anymore, I just don't think I could bear it.

I love how the snippet Cincy provided ends with the Bengals guy making a comment about no advanced scout in the video, without a chance for a rebuttal. Within an hour of this “breaking” on Monday, Schefter said it was B-roll, so of course the advance scout wouldn’t be on this. I’m sure the videographers responded with that too, but Cincy intentionally cut that out in their leak. Jack assess.

Just making sure. I have seen people get bent out of shape with the voting system before thinking that there’s real value placed on their accumulation.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. This film clearly just looks like filler B-roll type stuff.

Sigh.... we know this script. All the haters are gonna hate and cry and go on. Already getting crap about it. We know this script. Damage done and it’s a stupid mistake by the Kraft Org that has us talking about scandal instead of playoffs. Will cost the core business, football operations, needlessly.

Why wouldn’t there be some sort of universal sensitivities within the Kraft Org about taking video of other teams’ sidelines? I mean circulate a damn memo on this issue FFS!

Ok... ok... Im done.... I’m on to the Game Day Thread... GO PATS! F* the Sports Media!

The Bengals are on now on my **** list of organizations, up there with the Jets, Ravens, and Colts. They deserve their zero success over 50 years. ****, the Jets have a better legacy than them. The Jets. Mike Brown would have been the exiled son passed over by his dad for the inheritance back in the Middle Ages and Roman ages. No need to leak a chopped snippet like that intentionally leaving important features out.

That cameraman needs to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

BB was done if it looked like the Spygate tape did. This didn’t. At least on this clip.

Can't expect a security person, who is basically the equivalent of a mall security guard, to know anything about advanced scouting...

Cant blame Cincinnati officials, they wouldn't know a useful piece of tape if it bit them in the ***.

I was being facetious, dont think the video could be any more benign but that's Bedard, and he wonders why hes struggling to get subscribers for his site.

You would think if they took away our 1 they would suspend BB as well? A first round pick taken to me signifies that cheating occurred. But to me if this is all they have it doesn’t show any cheating.

That said, we would have heard that by now if it did. This really didn’t look any different than what’s been reported so far. For once the media got it right early on.

I really don’t think this was the NFL leaking a trial balloon to the public. We wouldn’t have heard about the early thinking from the NFL if that was the case. The trial balloon was the Washington Post and LaCanfora stories, to see which version the public supported. This video, on the other hand, was clearly released by the Bengals because they’re peeved that the league is taking the Patriots side and that there hasn’t been a national uproar over this scandal yet.

I don’t have the emotional energy for that.

I think the way it ends looks terrible. Maybe the whole thing just has me down.

So who leaked the video? Was it the NFL or the Bengals? If the latter, Roger won't be pleased.
