- The New England Patriots spy-gate scandal rocked the NFL. Now, for the first time, coach Bill Belichick counters allegations made by a former videotaper in an exclusive interview with Armen Keteyian. (CBSNews.com)
"There were instances where opposing coaches waved at us on the videotape"
LOL...
Bill Cowher and several others in the league have already stated that this was common practice. Most of the people who still bring up Spygate are bitter fans of inferior teams.
Stop it, he did it AFTER being warned by the league to stop. And I want a citation for the Cowher comment. No other coach said what Bill Belichick did was common practice.
I already thoughts Spygate was overblown, after watching this interview that impression has only deepened. We basically had a first round pic and 750k stolen from us. It was armed robbery...
Overblown??! Not blown up enough when N.E. denies any involvement yet it was their guy, on own their team(coaching assistant). Recording Pre-Super Bowl Walkthru's and practices of St. Louis.. Yet that's alright? Feel sorry for kids who have parents as Cheatriots fans. No morals.
+jbrown223 Only the Cheatriots assistant got caught ...twice..
4 Asterisks count them... 0 Super Bowls.. Get over it..
Notice how Tom The Fraud Brady was The Only person to get Booed when announcing S.b. Mvps @ the Super Bowl.. The only one.... Lol Whole entire Nfl fan base knows it..
+Iconhulk the NFL fan base? wut?
+Iconhulk you mean the LA rams right? get shit on by New England more St. Louis. 2 world series a super bowl...
+jbrown223 WHAT 4 SUPER BOWLS ? YOU HAVE 4 ASTERISKS..
Belichick does make a point with the availability of the signals. The interviewer mentions that although you can see and take notes of signals in the game, you can't use a videotaped signal to analyze and go over. Sure you can. Since people do take notes of signals in the game, they can write down what the signals are and at what time the defense uses them so you can backtrack and look at exactly what situations teams have used them in. Every team watches game tape, so you can always go back and cross reference those notes with the gametape. This would yield the same results as actually taping the signals.
No. Dumbass.
Yes you can watch game tape. You can’t videotape private practices.
@@maryconn1 It was never proven they videotaped practices. Im sure you're just mad, cause we beat the steelers ass for years 😂 how they lookin btw lol
@@RR-lv3tp yes it was. They were docked draft picks and fined for it. Roger Goodell then destroyed the tapes. Why can’t you just accept the reality dawg? I know your biased but come on! Us steeler fans dislike the ravens the most out of anybody but we respect them for winning the Super Bowl in 2012-13 because they did it fair and square. My team is turning into the Dallas cowboys. Just an underachieving embarrassing organization. But that’s neither here nor there. Own the truth dawg. You saying something a million times doesn’t change reality.
@@RR-lv3tp did you even watch this video???
Bill is smart with his words: legend
like a cheating snake or like a guilty criminal.
Okay N.E. fans c/o, c/o, and complain some more !!
The whole spygate thing boils down to this:
1. The NFL rule against taping says you can't "use it during a game." Belichick's interpretation was correct.
2. The memo was absolute in banning all taping, unlike the rule.
3. Twice in 2006, the NFL said it was OK with illegal taping, onc after a Phins-Patriots game, once after a Jets-Patriots game, when both the Phins and Jets were caught doing it.
Why would the Patriots take the memo seriously when the NFL didn't take it seriously?
I love how people say they havent won anything after spy gate. Well they have been to two super bowls and countless afc championship games. They are on top of the league every year. People who say they are cheaters are just mad the Patriots beat the piss out of their team on Sundays
Lol I agree man patriot haters just use spy gate as an excuse to hate them when they don't even fully understand it
The CoDPatriot exactly people see the word cheat and success and freak the hell out. They don't bother thinking for themselves they just pick what someone else online has said and run with it.
Danny Pelton Yup and I bet the patriots themselves have to hear it from people all the time
The CoDPatriot I bet they all have a preloaded come back for morons like that haha. It's just a dumb excuse they have a better record after spygate than they did before. But because they haven't won a SB it's because they couldn't "cheat" 28 others teams haven't won either so I don't understand those people's logic.
pats suck. have not won shit in 10 years. he will never be the great Joe montana
still wining games.
But not Super Bowls so that ends THAT theory.
British Jenni_Pixie Explorer What theory? Did you read the actual rulebook? Belichick obeyed the rulebook; Roger Goodell didn't.
they just got better at hiding it
Not for long soon as brady leaves which will be in 2017 you guys will be screwed
ryan jansen
I actually do not think we will be screwed when Brady leaves. As long as Bill is still coach we will still win simple as that. I am more concerned about Bill retiring than I am Brady.
I did an essay on the morals behind belichick and spygate scandal and got an A on it, most likely due to the fact my teacher was a rams fan lol
One of two best NFL coaches in NFL history. The AFC east has the two best coaches in the NFL history. One retired and one still active.
And the pats still one of the top teams....
And still are
No more. It was all Brady. Now we know
I'm a Bears fan....who loves the Patriots. Sounds crazy but I've been a Brady fan since his Wolverine days. This team reminds me of the 90s Chicago Bulls, stud player, genius coach, and talent that no other team can touch, so the other teams' fans resort to hate. I love it.
I can't wait for the new special wonder which network will get it this time.
when it comes right down to it, its the players that make things happen
His neck and up body language show he's telling the truth........ or at least he thinks he is..... he answers quickly, doesn't get defensive, never blushes, and doesn't stutter and has no problem making eye contact. Someone, on the other hand, trained this Armen Keteyian to grill him like a lawyer would and he was such a prick about it especially in the middle of the video
"While the Patriots were taping opposing signals, they won 69.3 percent of their 127 games (including the playoffs), but since they ostensibly quit the practice, their winning percentage has been even higher - 75.6 percent - in 123 games. At a glance, it seems rule-bending didn’t add much of note to the Patriots’ chances of winning." I am a Chargers fan so this is coming from a completely unbiased angle. Although of course they're are many surrounding factors included in a teams success, I really find it funny that people discredit the Pats to such a degree. Minus all the spying, the talent and effort on those Super Bowl teams was unsurpassed. All the big plays and clutch moments they had on both sides of the ball are completely discredited now as if the spying caused them to occur lol. I understand why it could be seen as an advantage and it should be punished of course but I mean at least give them some credit. They were one hell of a football team. And yes they haven't won a super bowl since, but they're winning percentage afterwards has only risen by 6% since then. They've remained the most consistently dominant team in the NFL. What does that tell me ? The Pats game planning, preparation, and execution were the main reasons for their success. They've made it to multiple AFC champ games since, they just haven't been able to finish out. Again, im a massive Chargers fan, I just feel that the Pats deserve more credit for their successes then they are generally given and I like to give credit where it's due.
Classy and thank you. The narcissism and our society's inability to admit they're wrong and they got duped, is embarrassing.
I love how BB threw a version of "It is what it is" during the interview
"whatever it was, that's what it was"
Fucking sweet
didnt you hear what Armen said? "From september of 06 to September of 07, you recorded other teams signals".
The pats won 3 superbowls by no means what so ever easily, they worked their asses off, and its the players that play, regardless of whether you know the signals or not. The three superbowls were much before 2007.
This is why i respect Bill Belichick so much, he gets spygate slapped on his face, and how does he respond? By coaching his team to 16-0.
The whole Spygate thing is so overblown, it's absolutely ridiculous. Wow, they watched a team's practice. That's not much different than watching a team's game film. The Patriots' stats have been way better since Spygate. Goes to show how little it mattered.
Also remember the 16-0 game in New York, never happens and going into SBXLII the Giants have almost no scouting report on the Patriots. The 16-0 game forced the Patriots to reveal their hand... was said in a SBXLII recap video that the 16-0 game gave the Giants the blueprint for SBXLII
somehow i feel that armen kateyian is attacking bill belichick...
I find it funny Belichick had to cheat TO BEAT THE JETS!
lol
+killevree1 lol No one has to cheat to beat the jets.
+killevree1 spygate was them filming coaches signals from the sidline, and not from a marked location with a roof over the filmers head
+killevree1 spygate was them filming coaches signals from the sidline, and not from a marked location with a roof over the filmers head
killevree1 And of course we know goodell & the league are always 100% fair & balanced with their disciplinary actions, as the recent court ruling showed.
+killevree1 your jets were filming as well, in case you didn't know.
Spygate was nothing. The NFL didn't even notice it when other teams did it in 2006 when they changed the rule. And that's the job of the NFL. In fact if they wanted to spy they would never have allowed him to film on the sidelines in view and be seen. And the video wasn't even used in real time. The opposing team can look at the signals being called just by looking at the coach across the field in real time. And every team changes signals in every game. Everyone knows that. Eric Mangini who told the NFL about the taping regretted it 4 years later. It thought they would just take the camera away and not have it blow up the way it did. And notice they've won a Superbowl since then . And they have in fact won more games since the taping cost. And one tape was in fact leaded to the press. It was 90 percent filming cheerleaders. No kidding.
I MISINTERPRETED THE RULES
It's not a big deal but it definitely does give you an edge and he's acting squirrelly about it
Bill knows Walsh was wearing a patriots uniform when he was taping but then Bill says he doesn't even know if he could recognize Walsh? A little inconsistent. Also, It doesn't matter if anyone can read the signals, it matters that the league clearly had a rule that prohibited the taping of the signals. As a third year law student I can tell you that Bill's answer conveniently came straight from the mouth of a lawyer.
I already know my star constellations'. Northstar and things. The most depressing of all.
The rule: Use at any time, from the start to the finish of any game in which a club is a participant, any communications or information gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, including without limitation videotape machines, telephone tapping or bugging devices, or any other form of electronic device that might aid a team during the playing of the game;
Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson said, “This is exactly how I was told to do it 18 years ago by a Kansas City Chiefs scout. I tried it, but I didn’t think it helped us.” Johnson also said, “Bill Belichick was wrong because he videotaped signals after a memo was sent out to all of the teams saying not to do it. But what irritates me is hearing some reactions from players and coaches. These players don’t know what their coaches are doing. And some of the coaches have selective amnesia because I know for a fact there were various teams doing this. That’s why the memo was sent to everybody.”
If the interviewer would just shut up and listen Bill wouldn't have to repeat himself 10 times and still be questioned about the signals.
When I think of the Patriots, I will always think of THAT record ...
18 - 1.

First of all, thanks for making this post personal. Regardless, as an attorney I am sure you understand that there are reasonable interpretations of rules and then there are the interpretations that lawyers come up with in a last ditch effort to save face for a client. In these situations attorneys sometimes rely on counterintuitive yet logical interpretations that stretch the boundaries of a rule to the point where conventional wisdom would suggest absurdity. Just my opinion. Nothing personal
That's funny, because im pretty sure the superbowls that they did win also came down to one play.. cameras don't determine whether or not a kicker makes the kick, or if somebody catches the ball.
People hate it when other people are more successful
One drink is an hour;
There has been many other teams tht used same tactics.
“We’re not talking about DNA.” 11:02 Bill’s replies are hilarious sometimes lol
Andy, that was very classy of you as a Giants fan. I think that this whole thing was also blown out of proportion, especially by ESPN. Anyone remember Tom Jackson's "they hate their coach" quote in 2003 after Lawyer Milloy was released? Belichick confronted Jackson afterwards, and the media has never liked Belichick to start with. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the haters need to think for a minute and stop acting like a bunch of idiots.
To be fair, Bill said that he could probably not point out Walsh before the press came out and it became their problem. Obviously they looked at the tapes for anything to disprove Walsh and his allegations.
The majority of this situation was a blown out of proportion "press scandal". Regardless of fault, this knowledge is readily available to everyone and there were other teams mentioned in the report for doing it.
@gfscarface13 That is a bad example. Baseball considers that "legal" as it's impossible to prevent. It's deeply looked down on, but ultimately considered "okay" since it's impossible to prevent.
It's the Super Bowl. The two best teams in the league are facing each other so for the game to come down to 1 play is not that unusual.
"It's not DNA......" That is a classic. Armen is a tool in this interview. He is a great coach.
Belichick is being sincere about one thing: in the grand scheme of compiling information for a game, thee videotapes play a very small role. i just dont see how people don't understand this.
7:26 to 8:10 is all one needs to watch.
Hows your team doing in the Super Bowl, oh wait, it wasnt
The look of guilt and story of guilt
It was cheating and he knew it
for 1 game? sure. Before 2007 it was legal
right...
To all of us criticizing BB, I'm just curious: would we take him as the head coach of your football team? I would in a heart beat and I'm a Cowboys fan. We can say whatever derogatory things we want about BB to make ourselves feel better about our own coachs' inadequacies, but at the end of it all, he's still the best. He's 52-15 since Spygate (with a better winning percentage than before Spygate) and with the way he's stockpiling draft picks, I hate to think about how much more he'll win.
Tom couglin knows Belichick like brothers do. They both use to coach with Bill Parcell with the Giants back in the days.
They were filming something that's out in the wide open for anyone to see. Jeez, it's not like they were filming something really all that secretive. All 60,000 fans in the stadium could look at the defensive coach's signals. Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher admitted to doing the same thing. Plus, coaches switch the signals from game to game. It comes down to execution on the field. Spygate was way overblown, and pathetic fans just want to use that excuse when their team loses to the Patriots.
2:07 hahahah
"we're not talking about DNA" Savage
Well said. You can tell he's being honest.
I think this really was an honest mistake on their part. It'd be a lie to say that most of the teams in the NFL don't try to figure out what the signals are, either on the sideline or on the field, especially in the case of Peyton Manning. With that being said, I think with the way how this scandal is hanging over the Patriots heads, it's created more pressure for them to perform in the playoffs. That stigma, may even help explain why they've uncharacteristically lost games they should have won.
3:39 well.... at least we know they can still go undefeated
If Spygate never was violated by Patriots... they probably never go... 16-0, 18-0 and then 18-1... they really went crazy trying to brutalize teams that season following Spygate. Had Spygate not gone down... they probably would've had a 14-2 season with 20% less scoring and won the Super Bowl over the Giants... again not having to deal with SpyGate and the pressures of 19-0.
@gfscarface13 We have the best overall record league since the spygate. Losing in the playoffs is a different story, but we have the best win percentage out of any team since then.
heavy penalty and a couple fines to 3 superbowls? nuff said
Haters need excuses to justify their jealousy and envy in their pathetic hateful lives. It is very sad but as a Champion you don't concern yourself with hateful losers, it is their job to hate so let them do their job. Go Pats!!!
Interpretations belong to wisdom. Religion; policy in the classroom.
So other coaches have done this?
Have other coaches video taped signals? We're not sure. They may have prior to the 2006 memo, but unless they come out and admit it now then we won't know for sure. What we DO know for sure is that other coaches and teams have stolen signals via binoculars, notepads, audio recording devices, lipreaders, etc, and they still continue to do that to this day. Stealing signals is not against the rules, VIDEO TAPING the opponents signals is against the rules.
Fishing for him a+
Debt cards are not
Filming signals doesn't do much good.
Ever notice how there are two or three coaches flashing signals from the sideline?
Only one coach is the "hot read". The other two are fakes. Trying to figure out which coach is "hot" is more trouble than it's worth because the hot coach alternates from play to play.
It's much easier to guess the play from the body language of individual players.
If it's a pass play a guard might rock back on his heels but shift his weight slightly forward if it's a run. Brady is a wizard on reading the body language of linebackers and cornerbacks.
I agree with Bill. They were filming something that's out in the wide open for anyone to see. Whoopty f'n doo. Spygate is one of the most overblown stories ever.
I think he was scapegoated for something that probably more than a few teams do. In any case, he was caught, punished, and still went to the Super Bowl twice. True he didn't win either but he came darn close, and the Patriots are still very much a force to be reckoned with during the regular season.
agreeed!
im not a colts fan but even if peyton wasnt pulled out of the jets game they wouldve lost in the next week against the bills since that was snowing HARD
Armen Keteyain is hard to trust, just go look at the interview he did with Roddy Piper when Armen edited the interview to make it seem that Roddy was taking shots at WWE when he wasn't. I became A Patriots fan in November 2001 when my dad took me to a game vs Buffalo. I then saw the Pats win 3 out of 4 Super Bowls and now lose the 2 Super Bowls in Heartbreaking fashion. To say the Reason for those 2 losses is Spygate is BS! I am a Pats fan but not your average fan
6 people are Jets fans...
patriots = ZERO SUPER BOWLS WITHOUT VIDEO TAPE lol
The Cowboys haven't been doing so well since spygate either. How many times have they been in the playoffs '08 - '12? Quite fishy
hi ryan
He is much better than all of those coaches. He is the most influential coach in the league, the smartest, best talent evaluator and so on... 3 super bowl wins in a decade, with free agency and the salary cap makes him among the best if not the best. People hate him cause he wins and they look for anything, most insignificant things, to make him look bad. You dislike him cause he is the best and he is better than whoever coaches your team. No question.
its funny how people only bash the patriots, when others have done it.
only made illegal in the 2007 season
Belichick obviously was trying to distance himself from Matt Walsh by saying that he had very little contact with him. Belichick is meticulous with detail and that involves cheating and interacting with his coaches. Anyone who thinks Belichick had nothing to do with that taping has their head up their rear end.
Even if it was deliberate, that's the NFL's problem for not writing the bylaw in a way that ties all loose ends. Court of law: Bill wins.
How about instead of Goddell having "integrity" checks on insignificant shit like this every team did, he finds out why some officiating crews have racked up discrepancies in up to 800 yards in judgement only calls over the course of a season. It's amazing how just breathing on a guy will get you a pass interference call now with some of these officials. Remember when a receiver getting laid out was cause his qb left him exposed?
The NFL needs to suspend Belichick for a year. That would be a just punishment in response to these eight new illegal videotapes going back all the way to the Patriots' 2000 season.
Of course, it's obvious that Goodell and the NFL owners want this to go away. They know that it raises questions about the legitimacy of one of their signature teams and they're insulting the intelligence of their fans - not always an easy thing to do - by being so dismissive.
But you didnt...
Ketayan did a terrible job here. He clearly wants to grill Belichick but he keeps asking fluff questions like "Is Matt Walsh out for revenge?". Who gives a fuck, the story here is not Matt Walsh, it's what the Patriots did.
Belichick must've said 10 times "the signals are there for everyone", and all Ketayan had to say was, "Then why is it against the rules to videotape them?". It was so frustrating that this question never even occurred to him.
while coach Bellichick knows the rulebook by heart Armen has to read it from his handy dandy notes paragraph something, sentence something etc
@jrock8693 wth u talking about? Manning didnt choke in the superbowl. Brees played unbelievably well. Garcon dropped a pass--changed the tempo--lost the onside kick. Yep, seems like it was all Manning.
he thought he really had some questions that would trip up old Bill..the funny thing is everyone did the same thing....anyone who thinks the pats were the only team to ever think of filming signals instead of writing them down should give their head a shake, if anything came out of this it should be that Bill is a solid dude he knew everyone else did it, he took the bullshit like a man and moved on. nobody can take away his success thats why this is forgotten.
That's why cheaters never win. They got caught and I don't think it affected the season since they caught it in the first game. But the integrity of the game was jeopardized, and that in itself was unforgivable.
i wouldnt hire a coach if he didnt do anything like belichick.. i want to win i dont care whats done just win at all costs.
He made a mistake once, ONCE. Not all the fricken games, bill is a good coach, and smart enough to think of trying to learn about there opponent, and he didn't go against the rules anymore than once anyways, he admitted it, which is good
Than losing must feel pretty good, since you already are one...
Wasn't talking to you, but yea your right
+Joseph Stalin to have nothing but asterisks.. It's called Morals lol Hating?? No being real.. I wouldn't root for my team if it happened to them.. #Dumbass
no they didn't
It's amazing Bill admitted to it and they still stick up for them. If this was any other team you pats fans would be demanding that team be stripped of their titles
you dont even understand what spygate is
Spying on practices has been going on forever, don't know why this made the news.
"We aren't talking about DNA" hahaha so true. Belichick is Boss
jeRonyMo
The patriots handed CBS a videotape in which it shows Walsh taping many games in the end zone and he's wearing full Patriots gear.
Socotty, do you know the rules? Apparently not. It says you can't use the video "during a game." Belichick is right.
As for Walsh's knowledge of football, he played golf in high school. He was a videotaper. he got fired because he was a bad videotaper. You think the interns for the Pats have football knowledge?
ITS NOT CHEATING, they broke a rule got severely punished it was over in september, it never should have been a story. If he had no intention on hiding it than why is it an issue
What the hell does Specter know about football? what right does he have to step in on this situation? It has already been handled, and everybody shuold get over it. In pro football, A team could know exactly what the opposition is going to run, and it does NOT make a lick of a difference if the players can not perform.Isn't what walsh got fired for illegal to? It is illegal to record any private conversation without the other person knowing.this guy is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.
Online shopping
i bet bill belichick dosnt shower before the games lol. thats why he just wears sweat pants and head bands to the game.
Go Pats! Haters can keep on hating as long Pats keep on winning
best coach in history of football...........
@gfscarface13 Except for the fact that it is done by every team and the league and the fact that it honestly wasn't really in the rules. EVERY team does it. EVERY team's legacy is tainted then.
Belichick isn't sorry he did it, he's sorry he got caught
