<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <p id="story-body">Sunday isn't only Jets vs. .Patriots. It could be Spy vs. Spy. According to league sources familiar with the situation, the Jets were caught using a videotaping device during a game in Foxborough last season that resulted in the removal of a Jets employee. After Gillette Stadium officials saw him using the recorder early in the game, he was told to stop and leave the area. He had been filming from the mezzanine level between the scoreboard and a decorative lighthouse in an end zone. The camera was not confiscated by the Patriots or stadium security. Tuesday night the Jets admitted that they did videotape the game and their employee was confronted, but said they had permission from the Patriots to film from that location.</p> <div class="rail"> <div id="module-related-links"></div> <div class="clearfix"></div> <div><iframe marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="/common/includes/topix.html?pcode=6006&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsday.com%2Fsports%2Ffootball%2Fjets%2Fny-spjets1212%2C0%2C411997%2Cprint.story%3Flast_modified%3D12%2F12%2F07%201%3A55%3A49" frameborder="0" width="280" scrolling="no" height="0" allowtransparency="allowtransparency"></iframe></div> </div> <p id="story-body2">"All filming at last year's Patriots game was done with pre-approval from the Patriots and in accordance with NFL rules," said Bruce Speight, the Jets' senior director of media relations. The Jets played there twice, on Nov. 12 and again in a playoff game in January. There is disagreement over which of those games the Jets employee was told to stop filming. One source familiar with the Patriots' situation contended the filming occurred in the regular-season game; a source close to the Jets' situation contended it was the playoff game. An NFL source told Newsday the league office is unaware of the incident, and that the Patriots did not bring it up during the investigation into the Jets' charges of illegal videotaping by the Patriots in September.</p> </div> http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jet...0,3978329.story</p> </p>
Every team has tried and did cheat and will cheat in the future.</p> Been trying to tell DolfanDale but he just hates the Patriots too much to doesn't want to believe it.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Here are some of the league's rules regarding videotaping procedures:</p> </p> [*]In the NFL's operations manual, it states that "no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game." Furthermore, all video shooting locations for coaching purposes "must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead." </p> </p> [*]In a memo to NFL head coaches and general managers on Sept. 6, 2006, NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson wrote: "Videotaping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent's offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches' booth, in the locker room, or at any other locations accessible to club staff members during the game." </p> </p> [*]In the league's Constitution & Bylaws, it reads: "Any use by any club at any time, from the start to the finish of any game in which such club is a participant, of any communications or information-gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, shall be prohibited, including without limitation videotape machines, telephone tapping, or bugging devices, or any other form of electronic devices that might aid a team during the playing of a game."</div> [*]http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/ [*]Looks like they were breaking the rules, regardless of what exactly they were videotaping. </p>
But I don't understand</p> Patriots cheat = Tom Brady Public Enemy # 1</p> Jets cheat = Just looks pathetic</p> I wonder how they are going to turn this onto the Pats now?</p>
The NFL has come out and said that the Jets video taping was "legal", which is quite the contradiction to what they said here: "Videotaping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent's offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches' booth, in the locker room, or at any other locations accessible to club staff members during the game."</p> Apparently they aren't even going to review the tapes, which is very interesting. Something tells me all the Patriots haters (like DolfanDale)aren't going to care about this even though they weren't investigated at all or penalized in any way for breaking the rules.</p>
Jets freely admit... to videotaping Paging Carlos Mencia...</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CelticKing)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Every team has tried and did cheat and will cheat in the future.</p> </div></p> I'm not going to argue semantics, but, every team pushes the envelope in trying to gain a "competitive advantage"or cheating as some believe (probably because its easier to say & spell?).</p> If the Patriots & Jets wanna drag each other down in some hypothetical moral cesspool then I say fine.Take the Billsw/ ya while you are it... it won't bother me @ all. Hell; I might even sell tickets & lifejackets.... well tickets anyway.</p>

#1, they weren't taping signals, they were taping the game as it was being played from different angles....theCheatriots were taping the signals coming from coaches....one is illigal and only one team did it(the Cheatriots) and one is not illegal and every team does it....I have no reason to defend the Jets other than the fact that they did not cheat in the manner the Cheatriots did....</p>

No one ever pre approved taping in the manner in which the Patriots were doing it earlier this year. Not the Jet's, not the league, no one. The Pats crossed that fine line and that cheating is now forever recorded in NFL history.</p> </p> </p> </p>
