NewGate: NFL investigating Giants for possible walkie-talkie violation

The NFL is investigating whether the Giants broke the rules when head coach Ben McAdoo used a walkie-talkie on the sideline to call plays in to Eli Manning during Sunday night’s 10-7 victory over the Cowboys, according to a league source.

The radio transmitter in Manning’s helmet malfunctioned for a handful of plays early in the fourth quarter. McAdoo then used a walkie-talkie and relayed the plays in to Manning.

The Cowboys filed a formal request with the league to investigate. NFL officials cannot ensure that teams using a walkie-talkie are in compliance with league rules, which stipulate the communication between the sideline and the quarterback shut off when 15 seconds remain on the play clock.

I expect 0 Dollars to be spent in investigating and 0 players to be suspended for 0 games.................

The NFL is also investigating me for "Ballsgate". I may or may not have put my balls on Roger Goodell's head.

Meh

You notice it's always the losing team that always files complaints. But usually they get destroyed in the game. Pats destroy Jets, Jets file complaint about filming, Pats destroy Indy, Indy files deflate gate complaint (officially? ), Giants get crushed by Pittsburgh, deflategate complaint (but not official apparently). Giants barely beat Cowboys, Walkie Talkie gate.

Sure fire first rounder taken as recompense [if this were JMcD or BB or ERNIE ADAMS radioing illicitly].

Everyone else, not a matter of league integrity whatsoever. Carry on. Enjoy your day.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Jerry's revenge for capgate.

Bladino will say it was a judgement call and that they couldn't determine if they were walkies or tablets.

Sad that's actually believable.

Amazing no hot shot lawyer has taken this criminal enterprise on. With the amount of money being won/lost in all areas regarding the NFL, that the Justice department hasn't seen fit to investigate.

Nothing to see here. Proper protocols were followed. Matter is closed.

You lost me at the "Giants", which is likely the NFL*'s reaction as well.

They probably got all excited when they saw "New", but then suddenly disappointment as soon as York was the next word

 

[InRodWeRust]

You have to wonder how long and how many times the Giants used walkie talkies in the past. Sounds like the Giants Super Bowls are tainted and Eli Mannings legacy is ruined.

And let's throw this in here too:

Jerry's revenge for capgate.

That's exactly what this is.

They might have some cash. I hear their holiday bake sale is doing well enough so that they might have some money left over to investigate after they buy the new sideline cameras.

NFL may fine Giants for illegal use of walkie-talkies

To be clear:

They are not investigating the Giant's illegal use of pressure gauges on the sideline during the Steelers game.

They are not investigating the "deflated" footballs the Giants "informally" reported during the game.

Nope. They are investigating the Giants use of walkie talkies (a communication device) while their headsets (an official communication device) were not functioning.

Roger: "Mr. Mara, how do I handle this.....sir?"

Mara: "I have an idea"

The Giants will get fined and they will apologize blah blah blah while sweeping the real news under the rug.

I foresee another severe penalty forthcoming from the NYFL like the extreme $100,000 fine against the JETS for tampering on Revis.

You're crazy. There's no way Goodell touches his Woody for 100K for a little Revis love.

It will be assessed against the Giants with Mara's permission.
