Patriots Caught Using Video Camera To Steal Signals

It looks like The New England Patriots have a problem on their hands, after using technology to gain an unfair advantage last Sunday. After Sunday's 38-14 ass kicking of the New York Jets, league officials confiscated a video camera and tape from an assistant coach of the Patriots. The tape reportedly had the hand signals from the Jets coaches. This is a no no in the league, and could result in serious penalties for the Patriots.

New England has been accused of stealing signals in the past, but no proof had ever surfaced until now. According to ESPN "NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is considering whether to hit the Pats with "severe sanctions".

It is against NFL rules to tape from the sidelines or from the booth.
I guess there may be another reason why the Patriots have had such a good run the last few years.
