What I meant was that Mangini should have waited until he was in a game that mattered, or at least a game that was close before he took the opposing team to task for videotaping.

If Bonds wasn't all roided out, I don't think anyone would have a problem with his record.

And I really don't think you know what arrogance is. You know what was the absolute PEAK of arrogance? The Super Bowl Shuffle. It was also awful.

If Mangini didn't bring it up immediately after the game, he would have been criticized for sitting on evidence. That was the only time in which he could bring it up.

Bullshit. He didn't "just" realize the Pats were taping people during the game this season; he knew it from when he was working for the Pats for years. He sat on evidence the entire time he was the caoch of the Jets, and then his new team got creamed by his old team and he ratted on Belichick.

Listen, it's disgusting that the Pats taped their opponents; I understand that. But let's not pretend that Mangini felt overcome by sportsmanship and just had to tell the NFL about the taping. That's naive.

First off I'm a Lions Fan, so I have no biases, however, I do hate the Patriots solely because I didn't draft Tom Brady or Randy Moss on my Fantasy Football team, I could've snagged both with the 8th & 9th pick. *Shakes Fist*

However, the real problem with the Spy Gate thing is not the taping in general but the fact that they were on the opponents side line, within audible range. It's one thing taping from your sideline and trying to decipher the signals. It's completely different when you don't have to do any investigating whatsoever.

They made it apparent that you can tape another team, just listen to the "new" scandel surronding the Patriots and Rams. They were allowed to tape the pratice but not the walkthrough before the Superbowl. It's more or less the same thing. Practice you have to try to figure out the play, the walkthrough you get a step by step of whats going on.

I couldn't of cared less who won the Superbowl since Detroit was no where to be seen. Congrats Giants, better let next year Patriots. It's not like your not going to make the playoffs. Very Happy

On the bright side Donkeylips is back!

p.s. How's everyone doing?
