The tapes were shown on a video loop that played during Goodell's press conference when the story initially broke. Stop parroting that bullshyt myth.

link to said story? i don't believe it.

"
Those investigators hadn’t come up empty: Inside a room accessible only to Belichick and a few others, they found a library of scouting material containing videotapes of opponents’ signals, with detailed notes matching signals to plays for many teams going back seven seasons. Among them were handwritten diagrams of the defensive signals of the Pittsburgh Steelers, including the notes used in the January 2002 AFC Championship Game won by the Patriots 24-17. Yet almost as quickly as the tapes and notes were found, they were destroyed, on Goodell’s orders: League executives stomped the tapes into pieces and shredded the papers inside a Gillette Stadium conference room…

Just before he finished speaking, Goodell looked his bosses in the eye and, with dead certainty, said that from then on, cheaters would be dealt with forcefully."-http://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/09/08/nfl-destroyed-pats-spygate-tapes-deflategate-seen-as-makeup-call/

- The practice story was written by a Boston reporter who immediately retracted it and the NFL said that a practice tape did not exist. Anyone who says otherwise believes in conspiracy theories.

- Every team is allowed to record the opposite sidelines. To this day that is still legal. But it has to be done from the coaches booth.

- Every team used to not follow the rule and record from the sideline. It was common. But after some complaints the NFL sent out a letter further enforcing that rule and issuing one final warning.

- The Patriots didn't listen. Belichick didn't follow the rules. Mangini noticed we were still doing it. That's 2 division games a year. So he snitched.

- We were punished.

- Goodell destroyed the tapes because he was embarrassed. Not because there was too much incriminating evidence. This is real life. Not 'The DaVinci Code.' or a Grisham novel.

- Goodell didn't regret the decision until other NFL owners gave him shyt. Getting that draft pick even though they took one away didn't help the matter.

Get your facts straight.


proof?

You in the A?
What's the vibe of the city?
City is buzzing. Pretty much most black folks I run into make small talk about the Falcons. Saw a old dude last night at the gas station. He walked up to me and said "them birds gonna do it for the city mayne. for the city" I was like we'll see brother.

But yeah its buzzing.

I'm not denying there are racist people in Boston. There are parts of South Boston and Charlestown and other areas that I would probably never step in. That's like every other city/state in the country though.

there are large swaths of Georgia that I would never want ot drive through. There are parts of OC california where I live now that I would never want to go to. shyt is common for every state. PERIOD.

For someone so upset about racism you seem to be cool with Georgia lol
Brah, why you comparing a state to a city?
