Gregory Pratt Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:49 AM) And what if they weren't? 2 of the 3 guys who made a run at 60 home runs in 1998 were juicing. Does that mean we should assume the 3rd was also? And furthermore...there's an old adage that "The coverup is worse than the crime". Belicheck lost a draft pick, apologized to everyone else, etc...but for a moment, let's say he told the NFL Commish that the Jets were the only team who's signals he videotaped. Suddenly video shows up that proves he's taped many other teams beforehand. Doesn't that fundamentally change things, if he's going to lie to the commish? Belichick told Goodell he'd been doing it from the beginning. I doubt he said, "I was only taping the Jets." In fact, the League put out a statement saying that what Walsh has given them isn't new. And that's really all this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) Belichick told Goodell he'd been doing it from the beginning. I doubt he said, "I was only taping the Jets." In fact, the League put out a statement saying that what Walsh has given them isn't new. And that's really all this is. And I said this is what the league would do as soon as it came out that Goodell destroyed the tapes. Any "new" evidence he would claim to have already seen and destroyed. It is impossible to prove anything because Goodell already covered it up. Hence why Arlen Spectorm, an ex district attorney who knows how you are supposed to handle evidence in an investigation, was questioning why he destroyed it. The only reason you destroy evidence is to cover it up. Whats done is done, Goodell cares more about players who are going to strip clubs off the field than he does about cheating on the field. Thats his legacy. Edited May 8, 2008 by Soxbadger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Definitely seems like there are more recorded signals within this set of tapes. From Day 1 of the Spygate saga in September, the controversy over New England's illicit videotaping practices has centered on the Patriots' efforts to steal their opponents' defensive signals. But the tapes delivered via FedEx to NFL headquarters in New York on Thursday morning also include evidence of an effort by New England to steal offensive signals, which would broaden the extent of the team's surveillance operation. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and staff members began viewing the eight tapes within hours of their long-awaited delivery, in anticipation of Tuesday's scheduled interview with former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh. As part of an indemnification pact reached last month with the league, Walsh agreed to turn over any videotapes or related materials he had from his tenure with the team. Perhaps the surprise entry on the list of videotaping documents Walsh turned over to the league was tape No. 3, labeled "OFF Signals" from New England's game against the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 7, 2001. That is the only tape labeled as such on a copy of the list obtained by ESPN.com. Walsh's attorney, Michael Levy, confirmed it was the lone footage in Walsh's possession of offensive coaches' signaling from the sidelines. "[it] contains shots of Miami's offensive coaches signaling Miami's offensive players, followed by a shot from the end zone camera of Miami's offensive play, followed by a shot of Miami's offensive coaches signaling Miami's offensive players for the next play, then edited to be followed by a shot of the subsequent Miami offensive play," Levy said of the tape. "And that pattern repeats throughout the entire tape, with occasional cuts to the scoreboard." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Guess losing to Kristy Yamaguchi put him in a bad mood. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano revealed Wednesday that Jason Taylor will not attend any offseason workouts, including training camp. "I know Jason Taylor will not be attending any OTAs," Sparano said. "I know he will not be at any of our minicamps. And I know he will not be at training camp." Taylor's agent informed the team of this after he requested a trade. It's no secret that Taylor wants out, but rarely are coaches so revealing. There's no way the Dolphins are counting on Taylor to be part of the 2008 team.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I do not have a link on this, but I heard on the score that Mark Bradley had his knee scoped and isn't expected to be ready by the start of training camp. Not surprising news, but this WR corps is thin (bad) enough without any injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
