the cheating thing.
I hate to wade into this, but if you really think you're being intellectually honest by equating videotaping signals with taking steroids then you got some serious issues with reality.
What's the actual problem here? The use of videotape? I tend to agree with the earlier poster who said it probably has more to do with the NFL wanted to keep the rights to all video footage of their product.
I mean, it just seems so obvious to me that teams try to pick up on other's signals. Why else do coaches hide their mouths behind clipboards? Besides, what is stopping a team from putting a person with binoculars in one of those media booths directly behind the opposing teams bench and give him a walkie talkie? I seem to remember hearing a few years back about lip-reading...should this be illegal too?
tempest, meet teapot.
