Zorn is in OC. Byner came back to coach Portis. Breche in for DC.

Most of the rest of the staff is back. Saunders to Rams, and Williams will end up at the Jags or in Dallass <-- yes I spelled it correctly.

Yes she is...........and SO fine

Wow, thanks.

Anyway DCSkinsfan, I hope it works out. This was a huge year of upheaval for your team too. I hope the new coach is good, though I just don't understand who would want their staff assembled FOR them. It's bizarre.

BB has less to worry about from the NFL than from Kraft, as someone has previously mentioned.

It reminds me of the Michael Vick situation. Face of the team, franchise QB. Called Arthur Blank to personally apologize for the distraction and to guarantee that he had nothing to do with the dog fighting. Then promptly turns around and plea bargain.

I'm not saying that violating league rules about having an unauthorized camera on the sideline or taping the Ram's SB walk through rises to the same level as killing dogs, but you can see the similarities from a betrayal stand point.

Again, nothing to worry about if BB was truthful... he just has to ride out this minor storm from Specter and Comcast et al. and then it will go away for good.

I feel the same way that Shmessy does, Bring It On. I only pray that Bill completely and without remorse uncovers any similar wrongdoings by any other team similar to what Bill himself has been accused of. It may sound vindictive, but that's how I"ve felt since the Pats said "No Way" to SpyGate 2. Honestly, if Congress continues to push this, the Pats may come out smelling like a rose, if they are not found to have any links to the supposed Ram Tape. What was on those tapes Goodell? Were there links to other teams?

My feelings if the Pats are found guilty of taping a walkthrough? Serve the same punishment retroactively to every team that has admitted ( Shanahan, J. Johnson) to similar acts in print, or have been caught and charged with the ultimate reward being a SB trophy ( Steelers, Broncos).

Lastly, I'd like to see the NFL become more aware of it's investigative procedures in accordance to its own rules, and start listening to claims made by teams against other teams (NoiseGate).

I'll be honest. The pattern thus far has been: They go after BB. They find something. They trump up the importance of what they found. The fan ends up defending BB/the Pats, perhaps more on the scale of the infraction and the reaction than anything.

I was all for saying: There was a rule. We broke it. Therefore, sure, we cheated. It is a valid hypothesis that everybody cheats, but a proven one that we did.

Since then, we are the one team that can NOT cheat (witness the open busting of the Jets, and the league acceptance that since the Pats had not brought it forward, it was not cheating.)

Now we're down to stuff that looks like "me too" charges. I have already heard from 2 guys on ESPN how that's CRUCIAL, boy if they taped that WALKTHROUGH, why, in this day and age with scripted plays... blah blah blah...

Then the next day they interviewed some ex-ram who said those scripted red zone plays worked pretty well for the Rams... etc.

What can I say, I've become a homer on this issue. It's not like BB Right or Wrong, it's like christ, guys, get a life. It's evident that you just don't like this guy. I get it.

But it looks more and more that you can roll up every sin BB is accused of and say, he stands accused of being a football coach. He's not the only one doing this stuff, and his team didn't dominate the beginning of this decade because of this stuff. From the 18 wins prior to Sunday's loss, it seems like he puts together a pretty good team even when his every move is under a microscope.

End of story, to me. But this will go on all offseason. I don't think the readership will be as wide, but some a s s clown will think getting the Pats to lose 2 rings in 1 year would be the coolest thing since the 40s when his team was good. So there you go.

And NO, Donovan, you can't have your ring. You have to win to get one.

Agree with your post here......The media WITCH HUNT continues!!! Everyone in the media are just BEGGING to find something out about BB that they can roast his nuts on.........I have never seen this kind of blatant, deep, black hatred for a coach, and a organization by the media in my freakin life.....Many other teams have been admitting BUYING VIDEO AND AUDIO tapes of opponents defensive and offensive plays and audibles.....(ex 2006 doofins) but.....That is OK....fine......don't bother goodell or D-bag Spector with that stuff.....UNLESS....IT is in regards to Bill Belichick....or the New England Patriots.....then their ****s rise.......and we have a story and a scandal to investigate.....It is shameful.....deploreable and pathetic.....

But.....Get ready for it.....all these other teams, players, media, politicians....all hate the Pats for what they have been able to accomplish in the past decade. They are a MODEL franchise in a time where a MODEL should never work........Getting a team to buy into a team mentality like they did in College and High school.......is ...abnormal....and obnoxious....

They will find some kind of evidence.....BB will somehow get suspended......the Patriots Dynasty (and yes it is a F'IN DYNASTY already)...will forever have an asterisk next to it......they will never get the respect they deserve and so on and so on......Expect the worst..because as they said on Boston Globe 10.0 "This is a long way from being over.."

**** Vermeil came out today and said...."come on.....we are ALL DOING THIS STUFF....Any coach that says they aren't stealing signals any way they can is LYING" (Not verbatim here) ....At least he has the ball sack to step away from this maniacal Witch Hunt that continues.........So fugging pathetic and sad that this has to happen after all the incredible success and legendary stuff that is our great team.......I don't care what they say....WE ARE FOREVER A DYNASTY!!!!.............GO PATS

I don't think anything that BB or the Pats could bring out would be looked at as anything other than "Look at the Pats now.....they get caught and are trying to drag everyone else down with them......How pathetic....they are even lower than we thought".....do you see what I am saying.....If they bring out crap on other teams ....it will have an adverse effect because of the media's bias anyways......I think either way we are screwed if something comes out.......Media and spector will twist everything against the Pats....I don't know though maybe you are right......might need to go down with all your guns blazing.....
