Re: I hear the tapes show that the Pats taped the opponent's cheerleader routines, to
More NFL Sideline taping.
In the latest twist in the continuing saga of illicit video taping known as Spygate, it has been reveal today that during the 2005 and 2006 seasons Pacman Jones repeated used to small handheld camera to covertly tape the opposing teams cheerleaders.
As this camera was both aimed at an opposing teams sideline during the game and was not enclosed by three sides, thus the exact same rule violation that the Patriots broke, Rodger Godell said the punishment should be similar.
When Pacman was asked about the violation his explanation seemed erirly similar to that of the hooded coach. “I knew about the rule against taping the sidelines but my understanding was that as long as I didn’t watch the tape until after the game it was okay.”
Pacman explained, “the coach would not let me go to strip joints on the nights before games so I would pop in the tape of the cheerleaders from the week before into the hotel VCR and jerk off”
Ironically, just like with the Patriots sideline taping, the majority of the taping occurred while the opposing team was on defense.
Like with the Patriots, the commissioner determined that this had no impact on the game.
Godell announced Pacman would be fined $500,000 and the New England Patriots would lose their 2009 first round draft pick. When asked why the Patriots and not Tennessee would lose a draft pick over it, Godell said we would have to ask Senator Spector, as the Senator is now running the NFL regarding all matters of video taping.
