New England Patriots admit to inappropriately filming the sideline and field at their next opponent' [View all]

Source: Cnn



The New England Patriots are once again embroiled in controversy.
This time, they've been accused of recording the Cincinnati Bengals sideline during the team's game against the Cleveland Browns Sunday. ESPN was first to report on the story. The Bengals are due to play the Patriots Sunday.

"We are aware of the incident, and we are aware it is being investigated by NFL Security," the Bengals said in a statement to CNN Sports. "We will have no further comment."
The Patriots organization released a statement saying its video team was shooting a behind-the-scenes feature on the Patriots scouting staff at FirstEnergy Stadium for a series called "Do Your Job."

The team said it acknowledges that the production crew "unknowingly violated a league policy by filming the field and sideline from the press box."
"The sole purpose of the filming was to provide an illustration of an advance scout at work on the road," the statement read. "There was no intention of using the footage for any other purpose."
The team added that the production crew was "independent of our football operation."
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was asked by a reporter about the rumors around the incident Monday. He said he was aware of the incident but didn't offer further comment.

Brady and the owner...kraft...lurve the yellow haired traitor...shoe lickers of the winger elite...both..

Pats were investigated on something like this before...A crooked organization...kraft should be made to
sell the team like the west coast billionaire racist was made to sell his nba team...

Brady ordered the pressure altered in the footballs during the playoffs one year...The old man got caught
with hookers awhile back...

Do I have to draw a picture for you here? These guys are typical of winger ethics...they have none...
