For the first tiime publicly, Bill Belichick denies taping the St. Louis Rams before the 2002 Super Bowl . Belichick and his Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli made statements denying any taping of opposing teams' practices to refute claims by former Patriots employee Matt Walsh.
In the Boston Globe Belichick says that the taping of the coaches sending in their signals was very minimal. He says on a scale of 100 that the benifit of stealing the signals was 1. This sounds like those lies Roger Clemens was telling us.
It's a total joke that Belichick is telling us that he risked his reputation and the reputation of the NFL and the New England Patriots for something that was a minimal benefit. Does this make sense from a guy who is supposed to be brilliant? You've got to be kidding.
In addition, the reasons that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gives for destroying the tapes was because he thought they would get out. You're going to tell me that the NFL office is unable to put something in a safet and keep it from getting out. That would mean that the NFL office is unable to guard any confidential information. It doesn't speak highly of the NFL.
