Peyton Feared Patriots Were Bugging Visitors Locker Room

[BloodyChamp]

People are downplaying Peyton's not only saying it but suspecting it because that's not something the great Sheriff would do. I'm personally glad he said it just like I was when Warner said what he said about Bountygate.

It does not say that. Here is what it says, verbatim:

 

as Peyton talked to guys who played for the Patriots, some of the guys who came over — whether it’s true or not he treated it as true

 

This is nothing but Peyton being paranoid. Besides, all the talking outside the locker room didn't do him much good, did it?    Plus, there is a lot of sideline adjustments that go on beyond what is discussed at half time. 

Rick Venturi, who was on BB's staff in Cleveland, said teams are justified in being paranoid about BB doing this kind of stuff. In fact, he said he would have to plead the 5th if his hand was on the bible.

This doesn't mean I care. I think it's kinda funny if he does do it.....old school.

Come on Peyton, spill the beans and tell us everything you think/know.

Manning/Warner can lead the revolution........

This is the thing though, do you tune into the NFL or any professional sport expecting that teams are all playing on the up and up and are not trying to push or skirt the rules every chance they get? I ask because I have never watched pro sports thinking everything was on the up and up. Just in my lifetime, I have lived through the MLB congressional hearings on steroids, the Olympics being an event of PED abusers, NBA refs rigging games and just this year the federal government investigation into FIFA and the FBI investigating the Cardinals for hacking into the Astros personnel computer.  And yet the national headlines are the Pats and unproven ball deflation that seems to have elicit responses like this. It is stunning to me. As I have said more than once here, I would just stop watching sports if gamesmanship and cheating bothered me that much as it would take me too long to put the mental asterix's next to every team and player that has cheated the game ...

when the super bowl camps are accused of cheating its going to make headlines.  also, when a team is accused of tanking a season to draft a potential hof QB, people make a big stink about it.

 

if a team like the falcons is found guilty of pumping in extra noise no one really cares.  the bucs tanked games blatantly this year to get the first pick, and no one cared

 

still, the colts will never hear the end of "suck for luck" even though its not uncommon at all for teams to tank

[DougDew]

Okay Pats fans and other people who defend cheaters will use the word "evidence" a lot here.  Peyton has probably heard about the bugging from other players or even coaches.  That type of talk can be viewed as well supported depending upon the circumstances it was conducted.

 

Degenerates will use the popular legalese tactic of claiming that since nobody has actually seen BB place a bug in the locker room, there is no basis for concluding the Pats did.  Nice try.

 

Its time that the NFL remove itself from the NE area and relocate the Pats to LA before that organization and its defenders singly handidly turn the NFL's reputation into the WWE's.

I bet if the Colts ever found anything they would raise a banner for it...

This again proves why you're not involved in the legal system.

BB has been a head coach for a total of what, 18 years?

And not ONE player or former coach has come forward to confirm this.

Hilarious!!!

Someone said something elsewhere that rang true.

Anyone think that the Seahawks bugged the Broncos I the SB? I've never seen a team tee off so easily on another. They seemed to know precisely what the Brincos were going to do.

And again, folks, if you think that Bill Polian wouldn't have investigated this back in the day, you do not know your former GM.

You mean a 12th man banner? Kind of like at Seattle?

For what it's worth...

If he were going to investigate such a thing after getting destroyed in the SB he would have done so after the Cowboys ran them out of those stadiums lol!

Lol WWE and evidence...you don't know it but it legitimizes your point even more (irony lol). A court ruled that WWE was innocent in the 1993 steroid trial. Fast forward to the death of Eddie Geurrero and they were unable to prove that he died of steroid abuse.
