Bill Belicheat

[iacas]

Bill Simmons sums it up very well:

He summed up one game.

Chris Collinsworth feels Bill Belichek got off easy, should have been suspended for both the next Jets game AND the first playoff game, etc. I also think there's more to Bill's cheating than has been uncovered thus far. To the others: This thread is called "Bill Belicheat." Let's stick to topic. If you want to prognosticate we have other threads for that.

Honestly no one really comments these pages except the same 3-4 guys... so i made it easier... =P

but i do agree that bill that let off too easily. he should've gotten the 1 game suspension but i don't know about the first playoff game. if anything 2 regular season games. Either way, thats the end of the Belicheat topics... goodell might raise penalties but for now, thats it....

I agree , the NFL Comish got him off the hook so easily. Its not like he did'nt warn him beforehand. He should have been suspended and the team should have been penalized by them not being allowed to pick till the 3rd round for the next 2 drafts, (no 1's no 2's).

He definitely got off easy in my opinion, but if you are not smart enough to make signs that others can't steal, you got issues too.

it wasn't really an issue of stealing signs. i think they were trying to find out which signs were for covers, blitzes and/or qb spy plays. i still don't understand why bilichick needed to tape, he's got a top 5 Defense and number 1 offense.

like LT said about the patriots: “if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.”

And how is that not "stealing signs"?

i don't get this quote.... he isn't stealing the signs he's just decoding the signs....

[T.J.K.]

That's true, and that's what it means. I played baseball my whole life and it's just called "stealing signs" I guess because "decoding signs" doesn't sound right. Hell, I don't know.

That video was terrible. Videotaping is allowed in the NFL.. however, the location of the cameras was in a spot that wasn't allowed. And saying the Pats are overrated? Are you serious!? I'm not a Pats fan and I can applaud their success b/c I can see the talent they have. Iacas, stick to golf.

I just read a column on Fox Sports Net that suggests the Patriots caught Mangini videotaping on their sidelines last year but didn't go running to the commish. The column also said that when the Pats turned in their tapes to the commish they also gave information on other teams videotaping practices.

Anyway, they're looking pretty good after curb stomping the Boys. It's funny that Cowboys fans are now sniveling over the Patriots running up the score on them. Just tells you there are some serious Patriots/Bellichick haters out there and as long as the Pats are winning, the hating will continue.
