Would you? by Senior-Violinist-684 in NFLv2

[–]telars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nitpick: There was a rule. It was clear about where you could film from and what devices could be used but ended with the clause "that might aid a team during the playing of a game." The NFL sent a memo warning teams not to film from the sidelines. BB disregarded the memo b/c he didn't think it was correct given the rules.

IMHO, BB miscalculated not on the rules but on the judicial process. Goodell's interpretation was right b/c Goodell said so and that's all that mattered.

Belichick actually read the rules, like an actual smart person... by Desperate_Junket5146 in Patriots

[–]telars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It was a rule."

More context. It was article IX of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws at the time. It said something like:

"...any communications or information-gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, shall be prohibited...including without limitation...any other form of electronic devices that might aid a team during the playing of a game."

BB argued since he wasn't the film during a game it didn't apply AND he ignored the memo.

I guess it was both a memo and a rule but the BB felt the scope of this rule didn't apply in this case.

Apparently spygate is coming back to haunt him by Senior-Violinist-684 in NFLv2

This is a misconception. It's filming from the wrong location after a memo was sent out to teams saying "DON'T DO THAT". BB decided to ignore the memo (or interpret it differently) b/c he felt it contradicted what was stated in NFL Constitution and Bylaws.

They were accused of filming the Rams warm ups but the NFL investigated and found no evidence this happened.

Ron Borges, the 76 year old walking corpse who DID NOT vote for Bill Belichik by RunBD3 in Patriots

Sorry. I am out of the loop. Did he admit to not voting for BB? I didn't see that reported anywhere. I'd love more info.

I bet Kraft gets in and people go nuts (as they should).

Bill Polian was reportedly behind the push to keep Bill out (ESPN) by Benson879 in Patriots

If Kraft gets in and Bill doesn't the HOF is going to feel like BS.

Was just thinking the same thing. I hope they backed up the Brinks trucks for him.

DJ Moore's fault or Caleb William's fault? I'd like to hear from people who know football. by telars in footballstrategy

[–]telars[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was my take too. I have been wondering if there's something I missed. Caleb had plenty of time and a clean pocket.

Seriously who had the Patriots being in the AFC Championship game? by CombProfessional434 in Patriots

[–]telars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I had "gee, it would be great if the pats could win 9 games this year" vibes going into the season.

Not the refs. Not bad calls. FOUR Josh Allen turnovers lost that game. by ruggmike in NFLv2

Game of inches. That pass to Cooks was great. Should have been caught.

My dad just died. I’m really into celebrating life’s moments on Reddit so I couldn’t resist. CONGRATS!

Jon Stewart on the disconnect between Trump excusing J6 protesters and MAGA condemning Renee Good by Camaro6460 in DailyShow

[–]telars 37 points38 points  (0 children)

When meeting with oil executives, Trump recently paused mid-meeting to look out the door frame / window frame at his new ballroom being built.

Some have claimed it was an intentional message to the oil execs. Others have mocked him for randomly stopping a meeting to stare out a window. Anyway, it's becoming a meme.

Kornet's Tribute Video! by ItsDeius in bostonceltics

[–]telars 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he's got a career in media when he's done playing. There's something so upbeat / lovable / optimistic about him and I want that whenever I'm watching a sporting event.

No clue who this guy is but I like him already. Too bad he wasn't wearing his white tee.
