I've had it.
Video taping of coaches has always existed, and still happens every week, just from a different angle than the banned angle. So how evil can tapes be?
The Patriots never illegally taped even one whole game. They weren't even accused of that. How did one measley quarter of taping suddenly become an impeachment of all things Patrots?
Face it, the NFL is historically a league of extreme espionage and everybody protects themselves from it. If you don't, you're an idiot. Either the other coaches are idiots, or they didn't get hurt by it. Which is it?
The damage done by breaking the rule for one quarter of play is negligable to zero, and has nothing to do with the past when on-field taping was legal. It has nothing to do with the Jets game. It isn't the reason why Randy Moss beat the Jets like a drum. Randy Moss doesn't need coaching tapes to figure out how to beat a mediocre DB like a drum.
If the other coaches were smart enough to change up their signals then they gave the Patriots bad data. That would have hurt the Patriots. Should we assume the tapes hurt the other guys? Sure, if our name is Peter King, because he assumes the other guys were idiots.
Ah, but wait, they say. What about this raising doubts? What else could he have done? What about how the doubts "taint" the team's past success? Doubts? Tainting? Is there any tenured coach in the NFL that could survive doubts and taints if we were honest and objective about investigating him with a microscope?
Dungy's team pumped up the heat and sound in the dome.
Mangini's team called fake snap counts.
Hallas wired the opposing locker room. What do we do with his bust in Canton, put a paper bag over it?
Plenty of coaches have told their players to go out and hurt some QB. Does taping even rate to be in the same conversation as hurting a QB?
Does all that taint the other coaches or teams? If not, why not? Why not impeach the entire NFL for being a league of espionage?
You don't draw a line at the locker room door and say, "We don't collect any data on anybody on the other side of that door." If you do, you're not the NFL. That is LaLa Land. You end up with a big prayer group and a bunch of people apologizing for being smarter than everybody else.
Who is going to argue in favor or that? Step forward.
We don't need to clean up anything either. We are DIRT, always have been dirt, and will remain dirt until somebody succeeds in turning the NFL into the Boy Scouts. It cannot be done. All that can be done is to inflict pain on targeted individuals. Meanwhile, we are still dirt.
Do we really want to get clean? Be careful what you ask for in life because if not well researched you often receive a Trojan Horse. What is inside the horse? An NFL good squad police force with Peter King as the commissioner?
