Well I would guess he gets it from the fact that you're wrong on both accounts. Matt Walsh told Roger Goodell that the tapes were never used during the game. Secondly, during the Jet's game, the video assistant was caught seven minutes into the first quarter on the sideline.
On a few other notes, Taping signals is legal from the coaching booth where the tape cannot be accessed during the game, but is available afterwards for review purposes. That having been said the Patriots videotaping them from the sidelines is in violation of the rules or cheating if you will. For this the patriots were punished and we all know what the punishment was. I personally feel that the punishment was definetly sever enough given the fact that their violation was not taping signals, or using them during the game, but rather videotaping from an illegal vantage point. For those of you who say that the patriots should have lost the seventh pick, the NFL does not have a mechanism for removing draft picks aquired from other teams. Therefore Rodger Goodell could not have taken away that pick.
In conclusion LET'S ALL MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES. There are a lot more important things in life than whether or not the pats gained an advantage from these tapes. A good friend of mine died in a car crash on Sunday, and I guess I can say that one thing I've learned from it is that there are really more important things than this. Now I understand that you may question why I'm on here if I realize there are more important things, well I'm more than willing to let this go, however, I feel obligated to defend a team that my friend loved just as much as I did and I know this is what he would want.
