PHOENIX - One night before the Patriots [team stats] face the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, new allegations have emerged about a Patriots employee taping the Rams’ final walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI.
According to a source, a member of the team’s video department filmed the Rams’ final walkthrough before that 2002 game. The next day, the Patriots upset St. Louis, 20-17, on a last-second field goal by Adam Vinatieri for their first championship.

Bill Belicheat.
Is that against the rules? I thought they all did that.
Calls for a congressional investigation.
No surprise there.
They should get an * just like Bonds.
yes, they can blow people away, but their biggest wins have always involved them knowing exactly where to throw the ball or which offensive play to call to get past the defense.....every time....
there will an asterick next to their "records"....
Good thing the NFL Commissioner destroyed all of the evidence before anyone could see what else was on the tapes!
My guess is that the person who took pictures of the Jets, probably took some pictures of cheerleaders and female fans from, um, certain angles.
And you and I should have been able to view the evidence.
To me this is like a case of sour grapes to me.. There has to be a reason why he is a “former” Pat employee.
I had been thinking this all season since the original incident with the Jets. As a Rams fan, I have been anti-Pats for awhile.
Go Giants! Plus Brandon Jacobs is from my alma mater, Southern Illinois University.
Pattern of behavior...

Goodell’s office had a leak and that’s why they destroyed the tapes. Who knows how they might have been used otherwise?
No one will likely pull that stunt again and that was the point of the fine and loss of draft pick.
So what was on the tapes?
The WHOLE truth...
“that was the point of the fine and loss of draft pick.”
How about taking away SB victories? (and their precious rings)
BJ couldn't crack the Ronnie Brown / Carnell Williams backfield at AU so he moved on and while both went down with knees this year, Brandon is in the big one.
The biggest scandal in the history of the NFL.
