Nobody from that organization can try to act like they have more class than anyone.

McDaniels denied looking at Scar Jr's tape of the walk through, and the NFL supposedly believed him which is why the fine was so low. The Broncos and McDaniels only got a $50,000 fine. Scar Jr took the blame.
In reality, the NFL wanted to protect the brand just like after NE was caught. They weren't going to publicly admit another team used a taped walkthrough as an advantage.
The walkthrough was never mentioned when the NFL first punished the Pats, either.
It was Matt Walsh who came forward and told him he videotaped the Super Bowl practice walk though of the Rams. That tape never surfaced.
I personally wasn't sure if Walsh was telling the truth, but after McDaniels along with the Pats famed offensive line coach's son, Scar Jr, the writing was on the wall that the Pats did tape those practices.
Scar Jr also ran the Pats video department from 2001-2004, the same span that all 3 of their Super Bowls were won.
