Curious if the league would attempt to obtain texts/emails from other teams if such a situation was to occur. Seems unlikely they would.
I get the NFL is a private entity and all that, but attempting to obtain emails/texts seems extremely invasive and unnecessary unless the tapes contain information one could not obtain from other sources (A22, for example).
I agree. Going through someone's e-mails and texts is a huge invasion of someone's property even if it's using company e-mail and cell phones. Companies generally only do it for a very serious reason. This is ridiculous. Clearly, there was no intention to cheat. They didn't use the docuseries as a cover for a one time attempt to cheat on the lowly Bengals while setting up the camera directly in front of Bengals employees in the press box. Especially when you could get the film from a cell phone in the stands and there's not much to even see. I wonder if they are going to ask for the texts from the kid who was an outside contractor. That would be absurd, but I wouldn't be surprised.
