Tampering accusation worse than Spygate if true

There are no hidden cameras to be seized, no long-established feelings of hatred. The key figures involved have yet to carve out rock-star status in the NFL, and unless something unexpected comes to light, the NFL won’t be destroying any evidence.

So, no, this isn’t Spygate. However, it might actually be worse.

That’s what some league executives and at least one owner had to say this week, after the San Francisco 49ers, frustrated at their lack of progress in signing No. 10 NFL draft pick Michael Crabtree, filed a tampering charge against the New York Jets. In what executives are viewing as an extremely serious allegation, the 49ers are alleging, either tacitly or directly, the Jets have played a role in undercutting San Francisco’s ability to sign its first-round pick. And while the charge doesn’t have the sparks and scandal of Spygate, in which the New England Patriots were disciplined for illegally videotaping Jets’ defensive signals in 2007, it’s being viewed as no less serious in some NFL corners.

“[Spygate] was limited,” said a high-ranking NFC executive. “That’s something where – that information or competitive edge or whatever you want to call it, was limited to one team gaining an advantage over another team. But that’s just two teams. … We all have first-round picks –32 teams have first-round picks.

“It’s hard to prove if it did happen. But if it did, it’s cheating the whole draft. You shouldn’t even be thinking about someone else’s pick. When the draft is over, that’s their deal and you have your own [selections] to worry about. It’s none of your business what is happening in someone else’s [negotiations]. If that [tampering with draft picks] flies, we might as well just make all the college players free agents.”

Of all the Saints games this year, you guys where the toughest.

Your only problem is that our D coordinator showed how to beat him… From the first play of the game he went after Sanchez hard to rattle him… and it payed this time. Look for the same next week.

Yeah, I miss the 300 yards throwing with 4 touchdowns but hell it was a good game.

As for Reggie… he’s overrated.

Third night running with reload problems here…

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Apologies, again.

is this comment in the anticipated thread?

He keeps throwing things in the cart, and Mommy keeps saying “No.” to little effect.

Then Mommy sees that he has a really fragile, really expensive item aimed at the cart….

Cowboy were confused. They thought it was the playoffs.

Maybe be back next week.

Reggie Bush = Wendell Tyler =

Hold the ball like a loaf of bread. Sheesh

Every time he gets the ball, all Saints fans hold their breath.

Yeah…this one does.

And usually longer than Reggie holds the ball!

“Heath Miller for the touchdown.”

See above.

$%@$@#$@^&#!!!!!

You really don’t wanna watch this game, Jazz.

Too heartbreaking so far.

I dunno…some of us are having had fun watchin that game.;)

Your Jets lost, but the D did hold the #1 offence to
30 points off their average.

As a Saint fan, I was impressed with our D.

A question for WhoDat Nation. Could this finally be next year?

The Chargers are just toying with them right now. You’ll see. /s

But I’m a teabagger, so what do I know from tight ends?

Doesn’t that latest Eli Manning commercial make you want to send a sympathy card to Archie and the Mizzez?– he’s a talented QB and all, but that’s awful.
