[pbmax]

Just a misunderstanding!

@RapSheet says they were filming a documentary for the "Just Do Your Job" series.

Hoodie genius! The curtain has been pulled back on his "genius" like 4 times now.

[MadScientist]

Suspend Belicheat for 2 seasons and take away the Pats 5 highest draft picks for the next draft.

Can't believe any NFL team would be stupid enough to credential a Pat's film crew, but Bengals be Bengals.

[pbmax]

You get the guys together from The Great Escape and get a new system of signaling, put the dirt in your extended trouser pockets and Bob's you uncle. Patriots defeated.

And the Packers were one of the first team's to find the videographer on the field. You'd think Dorsey would be forewarned. Maybe the staff did not tell him?

Dianna @diannaESPN
The NFL league office has a copy of the video tape and the Bengals organization has the original. What’s on the tape tells the truth.

This is a reveal I would watch. Just put on the tape and let it roll Live on ESPN.

Michael Giardi @MikeGiardi
Belichick "we 100% have zero involvement in this" when asked by @OMFonWEEI about report of videotaping the Bengals. Says they have nothing to do with the production crew does. They don't work for him/football ops.

I've never met the guy! I don't know anyone named Kim Philby!

That was my thought. Spying on the Chiefs would be one thing. But the Bengals?

Brian Burke @bburkeESPN
Where did I just see a feature about how Belichick tracks the opposing HC on the sideline? He was mic'ed up at the SB vs LAR saying "where's McVay?" because he somehow knew McVay didn't pay attention to special teams unless it was a fake (or something similar.)


Sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini that a Bengals employee was watching a videographer, who identified himself as a Robert Kraft employee. The Bengals employee alleges that the shot on the videographer's monitor was of the Bengals' coaches and staff on the sideline for the entire first quarter.

Doesn't matter who the opponent is. It's reflexive and part of the culture.

Point well made.

Torn between hoping this takes as long as deflate gate and wishing to send Bill into the sun maybe Saturday.

Zak Keefer @zkeefer
Reporting from @pauldehnerjr
: "According to sources who have viewed the tape, it shows about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals’ sideline. It’s a direct view of the sideline as coaches make signals for plays."

[pbmax]

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/12/10/report-patriots-video-focuses-on-bengals-sideline-for-eight-minutes/

I might have to subscribe to the Athletic after this.


Paul Dehner Jr. of TheAthletic.com reports, citing unnamed sources who have seen the video, that “it shows about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals’ sideline,” and that it includes “a direct view of the sideline as players run on and off the field and coaches make signals for plays.”

Dehner also reports that the Patriots representative who had the camera captured the images in plain sight, sitting directly in front of a Bengals representative.

The Patriots have admitted that their production crew “inappropriately filmed the field from the press box,” but the team insists that the violation was unintentional and that there was no intention to use the footage for any purpose other than the “Do Your Job” item on the duties of an advance scout.

[run pMc]

Even if it's accidental, the Patriots have been embroiled in enough scandals where they've more or less lost the benefit of the doubt. The court of public opinion (outside of Pats fans) is going to assume they're cheating.

Also -- EIGHT minutes of the sidelines? I could see 90 seconds, or maybe a few minutes filming the players on the field (or using footage from prior years), but that seems like a long time to be innocently filming something unless it's a critical piece of the documentary.
(Note: I'm not a film editor, so maybe it's not. But still...)

[George Cumby]

Sirius NFL guys pretty critical of the Pats and their antics.

[pbmax]

All is WELL! Remain calm!

@RapSheet
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the #Patriots investigation: “It’s under review. We’re going to be thorough and take our time.”


“No way we do anything until after the Super Bowl.” :D

If Robert Kraft were as careful about scouting his masseuses he woudn't have gotten busted. Maybe he needs to get Hoodie's help on that.

The one thing I hate about this site on my phone is the inability to get a good link for an image.

[sharpe1027]

The thing is, we only know of the times they were caught. There's certainly more. That's why you have to come down hard and snuff this shit out for good.

[MadtownPacker]

The one thing I hate about this site on my phone is the inability to get a good link for an image.Hey now, just cause you can’t grab the part of the URL with an image extension isn’t the site’s fault. I know what you are talking about but it’s the mobile URLs that are the issue. It isn’t always a copy/paste world Mr Read this be smarter. :lol:.

If you are on a iPhone try holding on the image and then select Copy not Save. That works in many instances.

Sometimes you have to prune some off but this one worked as is.

[pbmax]

Problem wasn't really the phone, it was the giphy site. Their mobile page just gives you a link to the main page of the GIF, not the link to the graphic alone. Their desktop browser page lets you choose a direct link.

[MadtownPacker]

I have also come across the same issue. Try what I mentioned. Like this:

https://media.giphy.com/media/l0Ex5t3sb13qPlg9a/giphy.gif

Looks like you have to click on the gif to get it to copy the image of extension on Giphy. Please test.

Update, the tap and hold works, just select Copy and paste what it grabs here.

Now say sorry to the website for hating it. :-)

OK, so how do you get the IMG tag on the paste?

Will apologize to the site if that is possible without having to go to full site.

Also mad at phone and Giphy for making Copy... a copy URL function and not a copy image function. Bad UX.

When I just copied and pasted Candy GIF, it just put it into the message as a link. Which makes some sense.

I manually edited the tag to IMG to see if the link of the image was legit. It was, kudos to you.

Just need way to get mobile site to provide [IMG] tags without having to go through 4 keyboard layouts.

[MadtownPacker]

Ok I didn’t catch that you are using mobile view. It doesn’t have the toolbar and needs the image link entered manually.

Correct that urls will always auto hyperlink.

[MadtownPacker]

I think Aynrand brought this up not long ago and when I checked there was not a toolbar for Mobile Viewe. I will check what might be available.

In the meantime, quit being so damn lazy!!!

Solving the giphy problem is the main thing. I was prepared to do the IMG tag on my own. But obviously, having it available on mobile site would be a plus.

There is nothing more exciting than listening to my office mates' phone call to IT on speaker phone.

That's what this thread has become.

Where's Radagast when you need him to chastise someone for thread drift?

Fritz has uncanny talent.

The pic of the Bengals cheerleader is of the babe a few years ago that got caught screwing one of her students.

She got out of it, just like the Patriots will get out of this deal.

Well why didn't you say so sooner? I mean, how can it possibly be messed up now that Goodell is taking it Very Seriously?

[smuggler]

Pats director sounds awfully guilty in the exchange. Gotta think this penalty will be more Pats-centric and less Belichik-centric. Perhaps no draft pick fine. Seems the NFL is tired of the embarrassment more than they're tired of the skulduggery itself.

[pbmax]

Nothing to see here, all the videos have been erased.

The NFL's investigation of the Patriots' video violation has not turned up any evidence thus far implicating Coach Bill Belichick or the team's football staff....
