Wasn't there also some controversy last year about the patriots using the on-field headsets to communicate to Tom Brady just before the snap? The headsets are supposed to be turned off something like 20 seconds before the play clock ends, but there was some suspicion they were still using it, but on another secret channel. If THIS is true, this is by far the most egregious offense.
No matter what, I don't believe a word out of Tom's or Bill's mouths anymore. There should be BOOS raining on the field in AZ next Sunday when the Pats take the field.
This was a much bigger scam than the NFL ever wanted anyone to know about. This is akin to the RainMan counting cards. The name to know in the cheating is Ernie Adams. The Patriots employ him with a BS title. He is a long time Belicheck friend. He has a real Photographic memory. He study's the defenses and the calls and he was able to tell exactly what the opponents defense was setting up for down to the last 5 seconds of play clock. That is when Brady would receive final instruction as to what to do.
Ernie Adams is the reason for Spygate. Belicheck wanted to have an easier at to make use of his friends unique tools. So they pfilmed signals so Ernie could memorize them. Then when Spygate was busted they had to do it the hard way, only it was less effective. So they came up with the radio wavelength scam.
1. This is why I will never give Tom Brady credit for being the greatest QB of all time, or even one of the greats.
2. Everyone in football knows who Ernie Adams is, even Goodell and he knows how they use his skillset to cheat. But the radiogate was downplayed along with Spygate. We never heard about the Adams part of it.
3. Belicheck doesn't care if he gets caught because he knows the NFL wont expose him. kraft and Brady don't care either because they are all getting richer because of it. They are fleecing NFL fans.
