Thanks Stridooo(Sportsline)
I'm glad I've come accross this little piece of info :), I WANT ALL OF THE HATERS TO PLEASE.... SHUT UP NOW!!! PATRIOTS FOREVER!!!!!
: How about the spying thing Jimmy. You're a coach does that bother you what Belichick did?
JJ: Oh please. I've said it on our show. Eighteen years ago a scout for the Chiefs told me what they did, and he said what you need to do is just take your camera and you go and zoom in on the signal caller and that way you can sync it up. The problem is that if they're not on the press box side you can't do it from the press box, you have to do it from the sideline. This was 18 years ago.
Q: You think the NFL came down too hard on them?
JJ: No, no, I said it on the show. He was wrong for doing it for the simple reason that the league knew this was going on not just in New England but around the league. And the league sent out the memorandum to all of the teams saying you cannot do this. And so that's when Bill Belichick was wrong. After he got the memorandum saying don't do it any more, he did it.
Q: Did you ever steal signals?
JJ: Oh in a heartbeat, yeah. Yes I did.
Q: Via video, Jimmy? Or no?
JJ: Oh yeah, I did it with video and so did a lot of other teams in the league. Just to make sure that you could study it and take your time, because you're going to play the other team the second time around. But a lot of coaches did it, this was commonplace.
Q: But did you do it by taping the signal caller?
JJ: Yeah.
Q: Oh you did.
JJ: That's what I'm saying. I was saying one of Marty Schottenheimer's scouts, Mark Hatley, who has passed away now, Mark told me that's how they did it, and Howard Mudd their offensive line coach with Kansas City, who now coaches for Tony Dungy, he was the best in the entire league at stealing signals.
Q: Where'd you put your guy who was videotaping? Where was he?
JJ: My guy was up with my camera crew in the press box. So you'd just put an extra camera up with your camera crew in the press box who zoomed in on the signal callers. That's the best way to do it, but anyway you can't always do that because the press box camera crew might be on the same side as the opposing team. If they're on the same side as the opposing team that's when you need to do it from the sideline..
So tell me why in the world would jimmy johnson say this if it wasen't true just out of nowhere? that would be kinda strange WOULDN't IT??!?!?!?
............Jimmy Johnson taped signals. Spygate should be dead, but as long as you idiots want to keep it alive by insisting that your knowledge exceeds mine or those of the people who actually did this stuff, you're gonna be wrong. ALL THE TIME.

Hahahaha. This is getting pathetic. Clinging to some old guy saying **** to try to clear your team's name. Whatever. Cheating is cheating. Until Howard Mudd or whomever gets caught filming, they will be the only one we know for sure cheats.

Report Offensive CommentAll of these holier than thou Patriot haters should be checking their own pasts and the pasts of their family members before making bold, broad statements such as the one above. 'Cheating is cheating', yes, I agree, and so is getting the test answers by copying your classmates paper or getting away with using an expired coupon at the market or accepting the incorrect change at the drive-up window or putting your own name on someone else's proposal at work.
Check your own backyard before you look in someone else's.

Report Offensive CommentIt will be pathetic if Roger Goodell investigates the entire NFL, and your favorite teams pop up as a culprit, huh? I bet we won't find you blogging on Fannation for awhile. You know for sure the Jets cheat, you know for sure the Dolphins cheated, so why no animosity toward them?... I know, because they are not in the same class as the Patriots. The Patriots are too glamorous of a team to be left alone and viewed in a positive image... right? All of the negativity thrown toward the Pats are nothing more than envious, bitter fans trying to get back at the Patriots for being successful, and for people like "Irish R" to have something to throw in the faces of Patriot fans. The Patriots organizaton manned up and paid the price for something that was widespread, and didn't go out snitching on everybody else, unlike some people.... eh em!!! MANGINI!!!!
