Relax please. I remember in high school and in college we always spied on the opposing teams to get there signs. Granted it was not taped but we all spent time watching them. It was in all sports. It is part of the game we are taught about at a young age. Why do you think Sean holds the card over his mouth? No lip readers please.
All this is going to do is allow the defense to have radios in there helmets. Which by the way Bill voted for. Here in Boston there is a some what common belief that he did on purpose to get the defense wired. The fans believe the fine was paid by the FO not Bill. As for the loss of a draft choice they think of it as no big deal. They got 2 anyways and could never sign the picks anyways. Cap will be two tight. Thats why they traded last years second #1 anyhow.
After watching the Pats FO for years this move does not sound crazy. Every team is a winner here. The defense gets wired and and everyone moves up a pick after the Pats forfeit theirs. A small price to pay in the FO and fans eyes here in Boston.
