It shouldn't matter if if was unintentional. I mean at some point you just look like Charlie Brown trusting Lucy not to pull the football away, but even if by some miracle they are telling the truth here, they are repeat offenders. And unintentional or not, you gotta put the hammer down. [Reply]
From NFL Now: The league feels inclined to believe the #Patriots' intentions on videotaping the #Bengals, but that doesn't necessarily mean there won't be a penalty. pic.twitter.com/vmhWCRjbSx
The NFL will sweep it under the rug as always. Wouldn't want the fans to think a good chunk of the last 20 years of the NFL was tainted by serious cheating. [Reply]

The NFL already employs the most biased, crooked refs in any sport -all while letting the Pats build a dynasty by cheating. They are the worst run sport ever. [Reply]

I'm hoping there's reasons for optimism. Beyond what I've said before... Patriots slipping, kraft scandal, cheating, super bowl ratings bust...
Andys tree is fed up with it. And it's growing. Spags and McDermott vocal about it. You can hear in stoic Reid's voice a hint that luggage gate didn't feel accidental.
New wrinkle... McVays tree may be fed up too. Mcvay probably thinks the Pats cheated in the super bowl. And now zac taylors the one to turn the Pats in? Hmmm..... Better yet, whereas mangini had a lot to lose, the Bengals strike me as an org that doesn't give a shit if the Pats don't like what's going on. [Reply]

He says most teams are not sending signals in for plays nowadays...mkay, he's the only one who's said that. Is Rappaport a Patriot ball washer? He's trying to make out like this is a simple mistake, but not really that bad.
Meanwhile, the Pats admit it and say it's innocent, just a mistake. The other reports are saying that when the dude got caught, he asked if he could just delete it and pretend it didn't happen...

The Bengals need to step up and give them an ass beating this weekend. If this latest cheating scandal does not fire them up, nothing will. [Reply]
It's too bad there wasn't some kind of sting done, where they allow the Pats to video, make fake signals and then when the Patriots react accordingly, bust their asses. [Reply]
