This is a rumor taken from Finheaven from a dude that is allegedly somewhat in the know and has a few contacts as he is an actual journalist.. :
"OK, little birdie told me that Goodell isn't happy with Belichick still going around saying he "didn't understand the rule" when it comes to the spy-gate incident.Which is a LIE and he is making the league office and commish look bad by continuing to lie about it. And Goodell told the Pats and Belichick last week, if you have anything else to confess do it now, don't let me find out anymore stuff on my own. Well, more stuff is coming out, and its bad.....VERY BAD and a suspension of Bill Belichick FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR might be on the way down within the next 2 weeks. Or If Goodell goes easy on him again, at the very least a 1 game regular season game suspension vs the NY Jets and a 1 game playoff suspension. All of this according to my source, take it for what its worth, but I trust this guy!
Here is how this story is growing........
1) The Jets are now claiming they have evidence of the Pats stealing AUDIO. And the evidence is rock solid no mistake about it, according to the Jets. Pretty daming stuff
2) Also, word is the Lions thing last year is picking up legs. I guess Martz and the Lions had a bunch of new wrinkles planned for the Pats on Dec 3rd last year. The Lions opened the game on fire moving the ball all over the Pats defense. Kitna ended the day throwing for 314. The Lions middle of the game get the ball near the goaline and on a 1st and goal..........WHACK, the Lions headsets magically go out. I guess Martz went nuts and totally lost it.
New England scores 15 in the 4th quarter to win 28-21
3) The NFL has learned that in a game last year when the Pats were playing a "no huddle team" (team name not disclosed but one would assume the Colts as they run a lot of no huddle) that Pats d-linemen were wearing mics/wires on their chest pads. When NFL REFS asked them about it in the middle of the game, the Pats players said it was for a TV show. The refs thought nothing of it. Well, no TV show put on those mics and the Pats can't produce any evidence of a TV show putting on mics for that game. And this isn't a case of a disgruntled team coming out against the Pats. It's NFL REFS who felt they were lied too and have no rooting interest in this any which way.
This story isn't over by any means..........this will be the biggest story of this NFL season when all is said and done. It has only just begun."
Like I said this is a rumor so take it for whats its worth but wouldn't that be just the most awesomeist if beli-cheat was suspended. The alleged dynasty ruined, the whole thing a complete joke. Then again this might not be a good thing for the NFL.
One more thing Gregg Easterbrook in his TMQ column on ESPN's page 2 wrote a very similar story today hmm.
The pats were apparently using many many more radio frequencies than they were allowed at home. That could cause a few problems. First, anytime a visiting team came in there was a chance that the Pats would have their audio frequency already tapped and would be able to listen in to their headsets. Second, using more frequencies could make it so the visiting team's headset might not work or malfunction. If its true, its serious like you said
