NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, according to league sources.



NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.



Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents

you know its kinda funny that over the years that they have ALWAYS made good defenses look 1/2 step behind. its not a big advantage but its the kind of advantage that would let you win close games. makes you wonder if they cheated during their SuperBowl years

I wonder how big of an investigation this will actually being though. I do believe some if not all teams do something of this sort and may just not get caught but I;m sure NE will be tied to the whipping post for this one.
