Wow! Great job finding that other cameraman with the small handheld. I think that is almost more incriminating than our first mystery man. Still can anyone prove he's a Jet employee? Clearly he isn't shooting on that thing for any kind of broadcast.
This story is being investigated by those in the real media (not everyone is blowing it off like Reiss did) so keep up the good work and making their jobs easier. If we can get this story out there it will go a long way towards clearing the Patriots name as cheaters. If both teams were doing it was either one really cheating? We broke the rules. They broke the rules too. If two teams are doing it how many more are doing it as well? No question the Pats, and specifically BB, messed up. But this talk about calling Super Bowl victories in to question, and the fact that the "cheater" monniker will follow us Pats fans for a long time, I'm not gonna sit by and do nothing when it looks very suspicious that the Jets were doing the same thing. Tarnishing a dynasty is far more of a black eye for the league than team employees filming from the sidelines.
OK...I keep reading that Reiss blew this off. Yet I can only find one post repeated in multiple threads from ONE poster that claims he heard back from Reiss and "he didn't think it was a big deal and did not elaborate" Doesn't that strike you as a little suspicious? With the detail those here are putting into this for someone like Reiss to email ONE guy back and just say "it isn't a big deal"...does that sound like Reiss?
The poster didn't include the email, just paraphrased...I'm sorry but I call BS on that. A good reporter like Reiss would ask a few questions before whipping off a one thought email with no backing.
Is there a reason that everyone here is accepting that there ACTUALLY IS a Reiss email that says it is "nothing"?
Hey this guy could be just a local guy violating every rule in place by the NFL for local network guys or he could be a Jets employee violating the same rule the Pats did. Either way he is VIOLATING A RULE period! One is just on him and "his station" and if the other it IS ON THE JETS.
Legitimate question that is easily answered by the Jets or someone in the media that can ask the questions or has the info us fans don't.
I HATE conspieracy theories with a passion, but I do question why this question isn't being asked by the media. MY thought is it would take about 1/2 hour to either put it to bed as nothing or longer if there is something to it. Is the NFL putting a little bit of pressure or the media afraid they would be crossing the NFL by exposing a wider "problem"?
For the idiot bolt and jests fans that plague this thread and others that think this is about "excusing" the Pats...not at all. I have no problem with the Pats being punished for the infraction (though I think it is a little severe) and if this IS a Jets employee violating the same rule I could care less if the jets get any punishment. I just want...IF PROVEN THIS IS A JETS EMPLOYEE VIOLATING THE RULE that it be pointed out by the NFL that other teams did the same thing the Pats did...for us fans...admit the real problem. Keep the punishment for the Pats but get us fans away from the ill informed drivel oppossing fans and the media are inundating us with if this proves to be true.
Me I am putting my Pats flag up under my US flag on the pole tomorrow early and putting my game day jersey on as usual. Wearing my Pats 3 time SB champs hat around town today regardless. GO PATS!
Thanks again to my fellow Pats fans putting so much work into this!
