[CorkScrewHill]

Said it was really odd as they needed to have meetings in the showers because they knew the locker room was bugged. The Patriots are just the worst.

that’s awesome that he called them out on national TV

And there's another book coming out about it. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31484993/son-ghostwriter-late-senator-say-trump-intervened-stop-probe-patriots-spygate-scandal

 

Their legacy will forever be tainted.

[Don Otreply]

Yet more of Billy B and the Patriots cheating ways, such an untrustworthy and undesirable man and organization, the taint of cheating is so heavy that it will never be lifted.

So thankful that the Pegulas bought the Bills versus the alternative sleezebags.

Can you imagine the team being owned by Bon Jovi or Trump? Holy *****. It's enough to give me nightmares. 

[Rocky Landing]

Well, Handyman Kraft, and Belichick* are still there. I wonder what mitigations McD, and the current Bills practice??

Tough call if you had to pick one of the three to own the Sabres.

Oooh, Florio lays the smackdown: "After all, that’s a far better excuse for losing to the Patriots than saying, “They’re better than us and work harder than we do.”

As far as I'm concerned, he's officially a member of the Bills Mafia! His disdain for the Patriots is awesome

[machine gun kelly]

I didn’t watch it, but sounds from what I read like he was half kidding.  I wouldn’t put it past BB.  It really doesn’t matter.

I watched it. Essentially Eli asked Peyton if he was uncomfortable after the Giants and Pats played the SB in Indy and NE had the home team locker room. 

 

Peyton then jokingly was talking about cameras and recording devices near his locker so he and the other Indy WR's would huddle in the shower to talk plays lol. 

 

He was definitely joking about it but the shot at Brady and the Pats was great!

I don't think he was kidding. He is quoted saying the same thing in the Spygate book by Bryan O'Leary which was released in 2012. If you haven't read the book yet you should.  It is very fair and researched account of the Patriots and their cheating ways.

Yeah.  Joke's pry on him as they definitely had the showers bugged too.

Thats their legacy. They can keep their worthless rings.

The Dungy Colts used to shoot themselves in the foot enough times in those games.

My favorite part was when they had Gronk on. Eli and Peyton both tried to break down plays and get Gronk’s feedback and he basically said  I don’t watch film, I just run by guys and catch it.  Peyton was genuinely irritated and his inability to break down a play. 

 Gronk also said something to the effect of.... If I have any questions, I ask Tom, he watches a bunch of film, that’s why I like playing  with him.

Not watching a second of that tool.

You can’t expect him to provide evidence on such a forum. Saying what he did on live television was already doing the max. Now that the claims were made…;he will probably address in a book or some highly marketed interview.

I think he wasn't kidding in that they were seriously concerned it might be true  when hearing all the rumors, but had no definitive proof of it.  If you knew they were  there, why not rip them out.  But did lead them to a more cautious approach in what/where/when things were discussed.

 

Watching the Manning/Manning broadcast last night leaves me with a tough choice in a few weeks when the Bills are on Monday night, which broadcast do I watch; the real one on ESPN that follows the game and give a true play by play, but are terrible or the Mannings.

Like F. Murray Abraham, I always refer to him as 'F. Mike Florio'. 🤨

Assuming you can find them. Rule #1 of bugging, hide the mics.

Constant clapping throughout the meetings is the current mitigation of choice.

It was destroyed just like Brady’s phone, the Deflator’s phone, the Super Bowl walkthrough tapes, the sideline originals, Edelman’s TB12 drug test, and your guess as to what else. The integrity of the game must not be questioned!

 THANK God, at least on other person not so wild with hate to believe Peyton was telling a real story.

Ask former congressman Arlen Specter who threatened to have congress revoke the NFL's anti-trust exemption for destroying evidence. But wait a minute... Arlen Specter's dead!.... coincidence...?

Not with Krafty's connections with KGB especially if investigation would reveal some KGB devices, etc.

[frostbitmic]

No wonder why there's so much activity at the patriots stadium this morning. 🥸

 

If teams such as Manning's Colts were worried about being spied on, they would've hired someone to go in and sweep the locker room for bugs. If they found any, that would've ended the pats dynasty.

[Success]

Pats fans are extra salty about this one. They really have zero sense of humor in that fanbase.

 

But BB deserves his rep. He has always cut corners and tried to look for ways around the rules.  As most here know, he supposedly had his linemen kick the ball "accidently" at the LOS sporadically in the Bills/Giants SB, to slow down our offense.

 

Just play the game and win on the field.  BB is still the best coach ever.  He didn't have to do stuff like that.

True, but if you really felt that was true, wouldn't you hire one of these "bug finders" who come in with their tin foil hats and wild gear and find them.  I'd think you'd want to do that to expose them to the league, likely cost a very large fine and maybe even draft picks.
