This is ridiculous.

#1 - it wasn't against the rules then.
#2 - THIS VERY INCIDENT was already investigated by the league to see if any rules were broken. None were, so the case was closed. It is being re-brought up now since they couldn't find anything else to bring up just before the game to throw the Patriots off.
#3 - Videotaping other coaches making signals is *STILL* legal - just videotaping them from the sidelines is NOT. Stealing signals is still part of the game, just like in baseball.
#4 - The Patriots not being respected by a Dolphins fan. Oh dear. I don't think anyone is shedding a tear.
