I pretty much agree. It's called playing the game and a lot of coaches do it. They spy on one another, read lips, and do everything they can to get an advantage.
At the time it first came out, Brian Billick of the Ravens said he wished he would have thought of it. It is nothing new only Pats were a little more sophisticated about it.
Whether its right or not, probably not.

Do I know how Belicek acts with his family? No. I can only go by what I see. The same way I can't stand Bobby Knight.

The same way I like Tony Dungee. Do you really think that Dungee is not a nice guy all the time? Or do you think that Bobby Knight is a charmer away from the court?

My guess is that how we see them, for the most part, is how they are.

At diner time I heard Bobby Knight always, but always pulls out the chair for his wife...before he hurls it across the room...

I agree...I don't think they are much different away from the field...no one is that good an actor.

Well, when Belichick was with his family during the hours we couldn't see him, he was carrying on an affair with a woman from the Giants front office, ruining his marriage.

It was most definitely wrong to try and steal plays. No question on my behalf but I will say that it is refreshing to see a post from an opposing team poster (My very best friend Bette) say what most others would not admit to, that being that in one form or another ... they all do it and probably most are jealous that the Pat's organization did it in such a sophisticated way. I'm sure that having ZERO losses for the year, so far, also adds a bit of fuel to the fire.

Watch that best friend Bette stuff. Going to ruin my reputation around here.

Well I don't think the GTG filters will allow me to put the other word in a post.
