3. Tapes handed to Belichick's genius friend with a photographic memory, Ernie Adams, who would review the tape before the next time they play that same opponent.

4. In the next game, using the illegally obtained footage, Ernie would talk to Brady or OC Charlie Weis on the headset about what defenses were doing.

5. Patriots win game. Brady, a 6th round pick that no one cared about, looks good in front of the world.

6. Rinse/repeat for 7 years until they got caught.

7. Patriots don't win another super bowl for 7 years.

One note that was just anecdotal, but also worth including in this:

Offensive plays would be called based on stolen signals and the information relayed straight to Brady’s helmet, O’Leary theorizes.

In this scenario, the extra frequency is critical, as it allows the team to do something in real time with the stolen signals, out of earshot of the NFL monitor, and change its plays accordingly.

If there’s an open channel during the play itself, you can also alert the quarterback to open receivers he may not see.

O’Leary repeats a rumor that Pats backup quarterback Doug Flutie once said he accidentally picked up Brady’s helmet during the 2005 season.

“He was amazed that the coaches kept right on speaking to Brady past the 15-second cutoff, right up until the snap,” *according to O’Leary.

“The voice in Tom Brady’s helmet was explaining the exact defense he was about to face.”
