A desculpa do Spygate sempre foi que o Patriots tinha interpretado mal as regras e não sabiam que era ilegal filmar. Mas como explicar essas coisas?
- Disfarce pra fazer a filmagem, desculpas prontas caso os seguranças achassem ruim:
During games, Walsh later told investigators, the Patriots’ videographers were told to look like media members, to tape over their team logos or turn their sweatshirt inside out, to wear credentials that said Patriots TV or Kraft Productions. The videographers also were provided with excuses for what to tell NFL security if asked what they were doing: Tell them you’re filming the quarterbacks. Or the kickers. Or footage for a team show.
- Invasão do vestiário pra roubar as jogadas:
Several of them acknowledge that during pregame warm-ups, a low-level Patriots employee would sneak into the visiting locker room and steal the play sheet, listing the first 20 or so scripted calls for the opposing team’s offense. (The practice became so notorious that some coaches put out fake play sheets for the Patriots to swipe.) Numerous former employees say the Patriots would have someone rummage through the visiting team hotel for playbooks or scouting reports.
- "Problemas técnicos" frequentes na comunicação do adversário:
At Gillette Stadium, the scrambling and jamming of the opponents’
coach-to-quarterback radio line — “small s—-” that many teams do, according to a former Pats assistant
coach — occurred so often that one team asked a league official to sit in the coaches’ box during the game and wait for it to happen. Sure enough, on a key third down, the headset went out.
