Many of you have asked for it, so I guess I'll give it to you. Here is the 2nd installment of the spygate story. This one will be dedicated however to the recent developments from the Pats camp, mainly coach Belifag's, or as JT lovingly refers to him as, Bitch Tit Bill, and the V.P of player personnel Scott Pioli's press conference yesterday about the spygate accusations. Both Belifag and Pioli deny rumors that they taped any walk through practices throughout their careers and Belifag issues the most vague generic statement about how he has never, ever taped and watched a practice prior to a game. He said "In my entire coaching career, I've never seen another team's practice film prior to playing that team, [...] I have never authorized, or heard of, or even seen in any way, shape, or form any other team's walk through. We don't even film our own. We don't even want to see ourselves do anything, thats the pace that it's at. Regardless, I've never been a part of that" (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2008/02/18/belichick_and_piloi_speak_out/) He even went on to say that he had never even heard of any other coach doing such a thing and that he was never a part of any other coach doing anything of that nature. As profootballtalk.com mentions in their article today, this is a ridiculous thing for Belifag to say. Of course you don't film your own walk through practices. What would you gain from doing that? Walk through practices don't do anything at all except go over the GAMEPLAN for the upcoming game. Thus filming your own walk through practice is basically like filming your pre-game meetings. However, filming another team's walk through is a completely different story, and again that would give the Pats the other team's GAMEPLAN, and thus a huge advantage. It is a little bit shocking that Belifag, a man who hardly speaks to the press, would come out and say something so stupidly vague and useless. I don't really understand why he would say something like this, and for that matter what he gains by saying it. His words don't mean anything to anyone, and it is not like he has come out and said that he didn't film the walk through, just that he hasn't seen any films of walk through practices prior to playing that team. Now first off, I don't believe this at all. There is no way he has never seen another team's practice prior to playing that team. I simply don't believe that one bit. And secondly, OK, if he didn't watch the film, his coaching staff certainly has. His players certainly have. So really this little public speech did little to quell the rumors that Belifag is in fact a lying cheating prick.
However this isn't even the most ridiculous part of the press conference. Belifag says all this, but saves the best nugget for last. Instead of apologizing for spygate 1 or saying that it was a mistake or something. Belifag tries to pawn it off as a simple miscommunication between him and the league's fair play committee. Belifag felt that "The Patriot's actions were in compliance with NFL rules, saying 'My interpretation was that you can't utilize anything to assist you during that game. What our camera guys do is clearly not allowed to be used during the game and has never been used during the game that it was shot" (same link as above). He also went on to say that the team never used the film for half-time adjustments and that the films were hardly any real help to the preparation of the team, "rating it a "one" on a scale of 1 to 100." Now lets think about this. Belifag is trying to make it seem as if its alright for the Pats to do what they did because it was a miscommunication between him and the league and beacuse the pats "never, ever, ever" used the footage during a game to make in game adjustments. However he never said anything about using the films if he played the teams a 2nd time during the year, or if he played a specific defensive coach again later in his career or anything of that nature. But because he never used any of it during a game its ok. Well Bitch Tits I don't think thats how it works. I'm pretty sure the league, as outlined in the collective barganing agreement, and in the multiple memo's that Roger Goodell sent out, basically to YOU and your CHEATING ORGANIZATION, stated that stealing defensive signals in any way, shape, or form is illegal. AND that video taping them is even, well i guess, more illegal. He mentioned this last year, and again this year. AND yet you did not get the memo? It never reached your desk? Or you did you just not read it? See I'm confused here because the league stated that you cant tape signals at all of any kind no matter when you are going to use them? Also, do you really believe that the Pats NEVER, EVER, EVER took a look at the first half tape to see if they couldn't learn something? REALLY? Cause if you do, stop reading this site and kill yourself because you are a stupid fuck. PERIOD. Numerous games they were down at the half, either not being able to score on offense or having some kind of trouble in that department. Belifag knew he had the defensive signals and do you really think that not ONCE in, oh 7/8 years, not ONCE, that he went to that tape and looked at stuff and used it to his advantage. I mean i can look at multiple games where the Pats offense was struggling in the first half and then miraculously scored a few more points in the 2nd half and won the game. And even if somehow he didn't, do you really think those tapes only helped him prepare 1% of his game plan? He had the defensive signals for the other team. That has to make life so much easier for Brady. He sees the mlb audible into some defense, but its not some defense to him because he would know what that audible sign would mean, and thus know the play. Thus he would know where the dbs would and wouldn't be and thus he can call the appropriate play and make the right throw. Interesting... seems like football wouldnt be that hard for them then huh? Who knows. All i know is that this press conference was a load of crap. And both men, Pioli and Bitch Tits are beginning to get a little nervous about this Matt Walsh guy and this Arlen Specter guy. In the end I'm hoping for a forfeit of the pats other 1st round pick #7 overall and a full year suspension for Belifag. The Pats cheated, lied about cheating, and are now lying about lying about cheating. Enough is enough. Goodell its time you stop protecting your league and start protecting your teams. Punish cheaters and kick pricks out. Pacman's gone. Isn't it time for Belifag to be gone too?
