An item doesn't have to be under subpoena for it to be illegal to destroy it.

This goes way beyond the Patriots, and way beyond the first game of the 2007 season. As to where it goes, I think a lot of the NFL business practices will come under scrutiny, and it won't be pretty.

Ok, what is special about this situation that you think it was illegal for the NFL to destroy some of its own property?

Then you admit that it wasn't just the Patriots that were involved in improperly taping the opponent's sideline?

BTW, taping the opponent's sideline is not against the NFL rules. Only the placement of the taper determines whether or not the rule has been violated. If the guy taping the Jets' sideline was about 30' back and in the stands it would have all been ok according to the rules.
