Mangini Opens Up About Spygate

Buyers remorse sucks sometimes ... especially so if you buy a Ford F150 after your Dad, who works for GM, tells you to buy Chevy.

He regrets doing it because he's out of the NFL now.

Fvck Ratgini. He <i>chose</i> to report Bill and to previously poach his staff to go to the <i>Jets</i>, of all places! He set into motion the cheating perception and he knew the filming was inconsequential. Some other coach would have ratted Bill out eventually, but Ratgini backstabbed his old mentor and did it willingly.

When you backstab friends, guess what? They might not talk to you anymore.

IIRC it wasn't a rule yet. A memo was sent out to all 32 teams asking them to stop. BB probably felt that he didn't need to adhere to some memo (rightly so IMO) but he violated the "spirit of the memo."

Whatever. I don't think this franchise suffered too much. Just like this idiotic Deflategate mess.

I think BB elaborated on this in one of the press conferences in the initial aftermath of Deflategate.

My recollection was that he said the league sent out a letter specifying the change in the use of camera's.

BB stated that the NFL rules/by laws/etc. stated explicitly the process for implementing a rule change, and that involved the change being proposed and then voted upon by the teams/owners.

Since that didn't happen, the content of the letter wasn't "constitutional", so to speak, and so it was not a "valid" rule.

That was the "interpretation" bit he was referring to back in '07, not interpreting what the letter stated.

I'm shocked, shocked, that Goddell didn't rely on the legal nuances of the case and instead made an arbitrary decision.
