NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has ordered the New England Patriots to turn over all videotape, files and notes relating to all their activity that resulted in the disciplinary action of coach Bill Belichick and the franchise, according to sources familiar with the details of Goodell's private communication with the team.
If the Patriots are not compliant, the commissioner is prepared to impose even greater sanctions, the sources said.
Goodell alluded to the league's position when he made his decision public to discipline the Patriots when he stated that the NFL would "review" and "monitor" the team's videotaping procedures, effective immediately. Privately, the commissioner was more specific in his demands and expectations with Patriots owner Robert Kraft when the two men spoke Thursday, sources said.
The action is being taken because Belichick all but conceded to the commissioner that his interpretation of the rules allowed him to use videotape of opposing team hand signals for future games but not on game day, sources said. The commissioner rejected that interpretation and was aware that there had been other incidents involving the Patriots in recent years.
If Goodell discovers that Belichick and the team has copied the files without disclosure to the NFL, the consequences will be significant, sources said.

And files I think, too.

Goodell really wants to hammer out any misdoings by the Pats.

I wouldn't be surprised to see more fines or an actual suspension come down eventually.

Come on now. You guys don't think they made extra copies of the video or wrote down any of the info or that they may have info from other games ...... do ya ???

The way CHarlie Casserly (sp?) on CBS was talking about it, IRC, it's the Commish wanting to find out if Belichick recorded stuff for use in later games.
