professor Illegal videotapes aren't gamesmanship. You want to have a discussion and an explanation? And it's not a rabbit hole. That deal is dead, guilty as charged, fined, and done. But might have something to do with "the snub". Or maybe just his overall character and reputation? So Kraft called him a dumbass? LOL Yeah.
No discussion necessary. lol Just a little context. You were allowed to videotape from the side, but not from the front. As Jimmy Johnson said there wasn’t much to gain from it anyway. What was there to gain? They all use helmet communications anyway.
Notice they all hold the play sheet up over their mouths when calling a play? Unless you had a lip reader who could see thru the laminated play sheet, filming is useless like Johnson said.
Did Belichick violate the rule. Absolutely. Was it the reason they won? Fuck no. Same with Deflategate.
I’m not a Bill Belichick fan. Think he’s an asshole. If you ever watched Tom versus Time, Giselle says the quiet part out loud. Despite what Brady says, he never liked the way Belichick treated him. Never once went to dinner or played golf in ~ 20 years together.
Nothing new. Terry Bradshaw never liked Chuck Noll. Noll was an asshole to Terry.
Along with Spygate and Deflategate I’m sure the way he treated the media had an impact as well. Human nature is what it is.
The only unanimous MLB HOF vote (all 425) was for Mariano Rivera. They say he was the nicest player anyone ever met. So, congenitally matters. lol
And if you watched the Patriots Dynasty show on Apple TV you could see what Kraft thought of him as well. Here’s another conspiracy theory out there. Kraft doesn’t want to go in the HOF the same time as Bill. lol
“I did not like my head coach at all, Chuck Noll. He was not a nice person and he was mean to me. In all my 14 years of playing for him, he never shook my hand one time, 'Nice job, Terry.
“Mariano Rivera is the only player in Major League Baseball history to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame unanimously, receiving 100% of the vote in 2019. As a first-ballot inductee, he appeared on all 425 ballots cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA), cementing his legacy as the all-time saves leader and the greatest reliever in MLB history.”
