It's no wonder that teams have phony signals and sometimes a phony signaler. Intel is part of the game. You still only have one incident and not one that disallows use of a different kind of camera.
Also, holding is cheating too. NFL=32 glass houses.

Let me ask you something.
If all they did was just bend the rules just a tad and videotape signals using an unapproved method. ..and that's ALL they did...then whats the purpose of destroying the tapes (so nobody would ever have a chance of seeing them and the content getting out) when its ok to do it anyway using a different camera?
If you patriot fans TRULY believe that, you are flat out stupid people.
People dont destroy evidence unless its soo bad it would bring a bunch of people down if the content got out.
Anyone with common sense can tell there was a lot more on those tapes that just stealing signals and that the HC knew about it.
The owner and coach were given the biggest fines in league history and the team was stripped of a first round pick.
That type of penalty is/was unprecedented for a reason.
