  1.  

    So I took my binder of games over to GameStop.. 124 games, just a hair over $400 in store credit.. and the sad thing is I still have about 30-40 games in the binder (games they wouldn't take anymore, PS2 and Xbox games :))

     

    What can you do with PS2 and XBox games nowadays? I'm assuming just try to sell them on Ebay?

     

     

    There's apparently a store in North Attleboro that will take them (not gamestop)

  2. Again, taping coaches is not and was not illegal. What the Pats did in 2007 was to tape from an unapproved location.

     

    From the DS article that Jay Glazer mentioned he still had the tapes:

     

    Do you have any worries about the Spygate issue if it does eventually end up in front of Congress? Do you worry about being in a Judith Miller-type situation because of your involvement in it?

    JG: Well, I got a call from Sen. Specter and he asked me to meet...first off, there was some ridiculous report out there that said I had agreed to hand over the tapes to Congress. I do have the tapes, but am not doing that, nor would I, and if they want to see them, I show them at parties all the time, so they're more than welcome to come over to my house and see them. Me and my buddies will watch them all the time, because the tapes are hilarious to be honest with you....

    How's that?

    JG: Because it's not just football...it's classic. The tapes go back and forth between... Well, the first part of the tape, the guy recording it , all he's focusing in on are the butts of the Jet City Dancers. He's going from chick, to chick, to chick, and then you see, like, Tom Brady step in and then he'll [the dude taping it] hit the coaches a little bit, but when there's a break? He goes into the stands and then focuses on T and A. It is classsssic. It is like Spygate meets "Girls Gone Wild."

    And that's what's on the tapes that everyone's getting upset about? Does that damage the credibility of those tapes at all?

    JG: Oh, no, no, no,no — because the rest of it, is damaging. Because they go the coaches, to the down and distance, back up to the coaches, back to the down and distance — it couldn't be anymore clear. They focus in on three guys the entire time, it is soooo brazen it's incredible.


    (none of this is illegal, infact, the NFL requires videographers to get down and distance between plays. Again, it's only location)

    edit: From the BR story: Players and coaches can zoom out to study teams working together or zoom in on individual players. Section E of the Miscellaneous rules in the NFL’s Policy Manual for Member Clubs Volume II 2007 Edition reads that “club videographers have to shoot the scoreboard prior to each play,” just as Estrella did.

     

    The rest of it is "We're afraid they'll do something, so we (throw away all paperwork/sweep the room for bugs/etcetera). you notice no one ever FOUND anything. It's sour grapes and paranoia run wild.

  3. Wow. Amazing the lengths that the NFL and ESPN will go to protect their chummy relationship.

    No new facts, just repeating stuff already known (anyone remember that there was no rule against this until 2007?, and/or the fact it's still legal to tape opposing coach signals, just not in the location the Pats were doing so), and hoping that under this level of horseshit, there's actually a pony there.

  4. Apparently the Patriots have asked the NFL to reinstate the two locker room guys (they were suspended at the NFL's request, and cannot be reinstated until the NFL's ok)

     

    I find this trolling fun and enjoyable.

  5. There's a small part of me that kinda wishes that the Judge didn't rule and Tom Brady would be suspended for week 1. Why? Because the Patriots have said that if Tom Brady wasn't going to be there, they wouldn't be putting up their Super Bowl Banner...

     

    They were going to put up a banner for Tom Brady's superbowls and MVP's.

     

    It would have been great. I can see Goodell throwing a fit ala Vince McMahon.
