Ignorance Requires the Asterisk

6 plays for 37 yards. That's what the Patriots' offense accomplished prior to their camera, which was taping the opposing sideline's defensive signals, being removed from the field. 8 minutes of game time.

Those are the facts. Another fact worth mentioning is that there is no rule prohibiting video taping the opposition's defensive signals from other locations in the stadium (the press box, for example).

So the Patriots cheated because they video taped from a different angle/level?

I should also repeat the point that NO ONE HAS PROVEN how you can accomplish an in-game advantage with the video taping. Also, if you can video tape from other places in the stadium, how is this entire situation even relevant?

Wake up from your hatred of the Patriots and act like intelligent, informed observers if you're going to make your opinion heard. The media need to grow up.

Great blog! I'm also a fan of the Patriots because they win as a team and because Belichick outsmarts his opponents.

Keep up the good work.
