Now have i committed a crime, yes . . . breaking & entering, and trespass.
But really have i committed a crime? Well not really. Not in this particular action.
This is my point.
Again, we are all interested in the facts, and we can have a nice discussion if we get all of the facts.
Great analogy, except replace ESPN with videos of your opponent’s signals and leaving with getting your dumb ass arrested and sentenced to pound me in the ass prison. [Reply]

LOL no kidding. Also add on that you've been convicted of breaking into houses & stealing things in the past. When the cops see you jimmying open the door (whether you damage it or not) and you try to tell them "this time I really just wanted to test drive this guys TV before I bought it" I'm sure they'll just believe that & let you go.
This is in essence the Patriots defense. They admitted it happened, they admitted they failed to get proper permission from both teams. At the very best they were severely negligent in not informing the camera crew what they couldn't shoot. Their only real defense is ignorance, but ignorance of the law is no excuse. [Reply]

I enjoy PatsFans as my home and this place as a place where I can talk with people with opposing ideas about NFL teams. I think I would much rather be here than a Steelers/Jets forum.

They'll get off with a slap on the wrist at best, and the show goes on.
I say fuck it, it's time to start cheating our asses off. Bugs in the opponents locker room, listen to their actual playcalls, whatever. It's obviously the wild wild west, so lets get some guns and fuck shit up. [Reply]

What is on the tape is irrelevant- the point is they WERE filming the sideline to steal signals and wanted to delete the film because they knew they were busted.
"Oh the footage is not very good" - so we are innocent now!! :-) [Reply]
Wow are these people dense. They're basically saying it would be worthless to tape only the sideline because you wouldn't know what play it related to in the game. As if they couldn't piece together a frame of reference from one of the many replays available to them & then just follow play by play. The willful ignorance is amazing. [Reply]

The Kareem Hunt video was released without permission. The Ray Rice video was released without permission. What is the big deal here? Why not let the people, the fans who buy tickets, merchandise and the products they advertise, decide if this is just an innocent mistake? [Reply]

So Sunday Night Football accidentally showed a close up of McVay's play sheet the other night....I guess teams should just be able to film that and zoom in now right? [Reply]
