Mort: Goodell orders Patriots to turn over all tape/notes, more penalties possible

Re: Mort: Goodell orders Patriots to turn over all tape/notes, more penalties possibl

Anyone else find it interesting that Mike Reiss hasn't commented on this? I don't know if Tomase has put anything up.

I suppose that Reiss knows that this isn't news. Stuff that comes out of Mortensen's mouth is not news, especially when it's not really new, but merely rehashed gossip. Tomase, who knows...capable of anything.

If there are tapes, the Pats should have someone destroying them ASAP. Notes don't matter, as it doesn't matter how you obtain notes as long as it is not through video.

I disagree. the tapes mean nothing new unless there are corresponding notes that indicate video was used within the game being taped
showing that it was used for that particular game.

Maybe Reiss has a clue regarding what the Commissioner already knows.

You can't video tape. Period.

All this crap is making feel less and less comfortable about tonight's game.

Can Goodell even make a ruling and impose sanctions for past seasons he wasn't NFL Commissioner?

It would be intersting to know if Goodell is barking up a tree that he has no control over.

Anyone know the answer to that question in the NFL rulebook?

This may be something that happened on Thursday. Mort may

be reporting it as it is leaked by a mole in the NFL office. The

penalties would be assessed if the Pats do not comply.

No...he's a straight shooter..more just the facts kind of guy and not one to run with speculation. I did hear him on the radio and he's really reasonable on this.

Not to mention that for 5 of the seasons they are supposed to turn over video for, there was no rule against taping.

Strange that Fox aired this video. I wonder what Goddell's wife, Jane Skinner, Fox Network's News Presenter would say about all this? "Thanks for the scoop," or something to that effect?

What video? Is the video online yet? Anyone have a link?

Tomase has put something up. His headline indicates that the Pats are being further investigated. I think that there is some major clarification needed here. Is this a separate investigation? If so, why? What further penalties are possible besides for noncompliance? I think Tomase's words are misleading...all he does is quote Mortenson's story.

Hoenstly, for all the dumping on lawyers there is in the world, Tomase would benefit from a bit of legal education.

Perhaps the further investigation stems from the supposed audio signal stealing infraction?

WTF is this about? Explanation please? I have been gone two days and ******* Goodell is a ******* d!ck. WTF is happening.

No, dude, no. All Tomase uses is the Mort story today about the past videos. that's IT. No mention is made about the audio signals or anything.

Let's not make this worse than it is.

People keep forgetting the league already addressed this, whether Mort's sources like it or not.

"Estrella will not be punished, league spokesman Greg Aiello said, adding that there is no investigation into claims that the Patriots have been doing this for years.

“Our goal is to stop this type of conduct going forward and level the playing field,” Aiello said.

Competition is a biatch. As a result Mort is becoming one of the premier rumor mongers in the business. There are a lot of people out there who do not want this to be over. Beats the hell out of everyone focusing on your teams performance. Mort is pushing their agenda. There are also a lot of people out there who are getting sick and tired of the hypocracy. Many of them are in or destined for the HOF.

It's over, except for the explanation Goodell eventually has to provide Kraft for the leaked video. The pandoras box Ratgenius opened is getting unwieldy to the point Goodell will have to slap a lid back on it lest it take down a lot more than one HOF lock HC so many in this league are jealously obcessed with eliminating. Bill isn't going anywhere.

Mo, I swear, your posts are like a drink of cool water in a desert. Please, post as MUCH as you can, as you are one of the only ones that I truly think actually READS what is written and doesn't submit to blind hysteria.

Re: Mort: Goodell orders Patriots to turn over all tape/notes, more penalties possibl

Yes he can. He is the commisioner. And if he see's cheating going on he can stop it, disipline those that have and if there is signs of past cheating as im sure Belicheat has acknowledged.....he can order the tapes to be turned over if he wants.

You people are ignorant if you think he doesnt have that power and this has ANY relation to a power play of the president of the US.

I thought somebody posted in here that you east coasters were smarter than those who were "surfers" because the schools are better.

This doesnt seem to be the case with the UTTER ridiculous statements i have seen in here.

The Patriots cheated, got caught and is being disiplined.

Oh and one more thing. Some ignorant posters also stated that it was just fine to videotape from the coaches booth which again is not correct and a ridiculous statement.

Get a clue Patsie fans. Since you dont, i guess ill have to provide it for you:

NFL policy states that “no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches’ booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game” and that all video shooting locations for club coaching purposes “must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead.”

Link for those who dont know what they are talking about...which is many

The fact is the Patriots were ALREADY caught and disciplined. This is something else.

On a side note, if you're going to call people ignorant, work on your grammar.

Goodell doesn't have the kind of power that he thinks he does.

Yes he does.
