It was not proved to be true is the correct statement. The problem is that many players believe something happened, and the Pats were proven to film other teams. Those tapes existed and were destroyed by Goodell before anyone else could see them. Still, it’s all water under the bridge for me. I really don’t care anymore. And it’s the Pats who have to hear all the cheat labels now. Those will never go away, but at least they have all those SBs to soften the taunts. ~ max ~“The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity.” - Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers 1 by R4L 5 years 5 months ago Total posts: 1301 Joined: May 08 2017 Dayton, Ohio Pro Bowl Cheating POST #12 Ramsdude liked this post Brady wrote:Ya.

Patriots staffers were allegedly instructed to disguise themselves as members of the media and to lie about their purpose if questioned by security.The Patriots were busted following the 2007 season opener against the New York Jets. The ensuing scandal came to be known as ‘Spygate.’ESPN reports Commissioner Goodell, eager to avoid league embarrassment, ordered NFL officials to destroy the tapes and notes, stomped and shredded inside an office at Gillette Stadium. Goodell fined the Patriots organization and Belichick, and took away the team’s first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.Some of New England’s opponents seethed, according to the report, believing the Patriots had cheated their way to victories and–ultimately–Super Bowl titles. In the wake of ‘Spygate,’ teams publicly said the results of games were legitimate and the Patriots did not have an unfair advantage.In 2008, Goodell contacted Martz, who was working as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers at the time. Martz tells Outside the Lines Goodell was worried about calls for a U.S. Senate investigation and the commissioner wanted him to write a brief statement supporting the league’s investigation and findings regarding Spygate, and that he did not believe the Patriots’ videotaping had any effect on the outcome of the Super Bowl.From the ESPN report:A congressional inquiry that would put league officials under oath had to be avoided, Martz recalls Goodell telling him. “If it ever got to an investigation, it would be terrible for the league,” Goodell said.However, when shown a copy of his statement during the investigation for the ESPN story, Martz believed additional words were added.“It appears embellished quite a bit — some lines I know I didn’t write. Who changed it? I don’t know,” Martz told ESPN.The former Rams head coach, now retired, confessed to Outside the Lines he still suspects the Patriots did something.“It was hard to swallow because I always felt something happened but I didn’t know what it was and I couldn’t prove it anyway. Even to this day, I think something happened,” Martz said. 1 Reply 2 / 16 1 2 16 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 151 posts Jul 03 2024 FOLLOW US @RAMSFANSUNITED Who liked this post

Patriots staffers were allegedly instructed to disguise themselves as members of the media and to lie about their purpose if questioned by security.The Patriots were busted following the 2007 season opener against the New York Jets. The ensuing scandal came to be known as ‘Spygate.’ESPN reports Commissioner Goodell, eager to avoid league embarrassment, ordered NFL officials to destroy the tapes and notes, stomped and shredded inside an office at Gillette Stadium. Goodell fined the Patriots organization and Belichick, and took away the team’s first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.Some of New England’s opponents seethed, according to the report, believing the Patriots had cheated their way to victories and–ultimately–Super Bowl titles. In the wake of ‘Spygate,’ teams publicly said the results of games were legitimate and the Patriots did not have an unfair advantage.In 2008, Goodell contacted Martz, who was working as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers at the time. Martz tells Outside the Lines Goodell was worried about calls for a U.S. Senate investigation and the commissioner wanted him to write a brief statement supporting the league’s investigation and findings regarding Spygate, and that he did not believe the Patriots’ videotaping had any effect on the outcome of the Super Bowl.From the ESPN report:A congressional inquiry that would put league officials under oath had to be avoided, Martz recalls Goodell telling him. “If it ever got to an investigation, it would be terrible for the league,” Goodell said.However, when shown a copy of his statement during the investigation for the ESPN story, Martz believed additional words were added.“It appears embellished quite a bit — some lines I know I didn’t write. Who changed it? I don’t know,” Martz told ESPN.The former Rams head coach, now retired, confessed to Outside the Lines he still suspects the Patriots did something.“It was hard to swallow because I always felt something happened but I didn’t know what it was and I couldn’t prove it anyway. Even to this day, I think something happened,” Martz said. 1 Reply 2 / 16 1 2 16 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 151 posts Jul 03 2024
