Belichick apologists. That Belichick has previously been fined $500,000 for videotape infractions isn’t evidence that he didn’t order the sideline taping caught by NFL security. Instead, it suggests that he would be deeply involved in what is being recorded, and that his advanced scouts wouldn’t deviate from his orders. I don’t care if they can trace it back to Belichick via emails or taped phone conversations, or any witness testimony. The tapes were made. The organization should be heavily fined, Draft picks withheld, playoff bid nullified.
