2. What is that thing over the Cowboy's logo?

You should know by now how clueless I am. It never prevents me from asking stupid questions, though.

3. An asterisk.

Jimmy Johnson admitted on Fox NFL Pregame and on WFAN in 2007 that when he coached he did exactly what Bill Belichick did. So I'm having some fun with them. :)

7. Pffth. Nice post, Belicheck. Belicheck was CAUGHT!

The Cowboys were not. Everything else is BS and speculation.

10. LOL...we'll let the folks decide if this conversation is just "speculation".

Jimmy Johnson thinks Spygate is overblown

We originally posted this WFAN interview as having been conducted during Super Bowl week. It actually dates back to September. Regardless, it’s still interesting to note how commonplace former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson feels the use of cameras is by NFL teams. He admits he used them to steal signs all the time.

Q: How about the spying thing Jimmy. You’re a coach does that bother you what Belichick did?

JJ: Oh please. I’ve said it on our show. Eighteen years ago a scout for the Chiefs told me what they did, and he said what you need to do is just take your camera and you go and zoom in on the signal caller and that way you can sync it up. The problem is that if they’re not on the press box side you can’t do it from the press box, you have to do it from the sideline. This was 18 years ago.

Q: You think the NFL came down too hard on them?

JJ: No, no, I said it on the show. He was wrong for doing it for the simple reason that the league knew this was going on not just in New England but around the league. And the league sent out the memorandum to all of the teams saying you cannot do this. And so that’s when Bill Belichick was wrong. After he got the memorandum saying don’t do it any more, he did it.

Q: Did you ever steal signals?

JJ: Oh in a heartbeat, yeah. Yes I did.

Q: Via video, Jimmy? Or no?

JJ: Oh yeah, I did it with video and so did a lot of other teams in the league. Just to make sure that you could study it and take your time, because you’re going to play the other team the second time around. But a lot of coaches did it, this was commonplace.

Q: But did you do it by taping the signal caller?

JJ: Yeah.

Q: Oh you did.

JJ: That’s what I’m saying. I was saying one of Marty Schottenheimer’s scouts, Mark Hatley, who has passed away now, Mark told me that’s how they did it, and Howard Mudd their offensive line coach with Kansas City, who now coaches for Tony Dungy, he was the best in the entire league at stealing signals.

Q: Where’d you put your guy who was videotaping? Where was he?

JJ: My guy was up with my camera crew in the press box. So you’d just put an extra camera up with your camera crew in the press box who zoomed in on the signal callers. That’s the best way to do it, but anyway you can’t always do that because the press box camera crew might be on the same side as the opposing team. If they’re on the same side as the opposing team that’s when you need to do it from the sideline.

15. Dude! You fall for this everytime!!

:rofl:

You're just pissed that Belicheck got CAUGHT and the others who may or may not have been doing the same thing didn't.

BTW, JJ was not coaching the Cowboys after 94 or 95. The rule enforcement declaration didn't come down for the commish until before the 07 season.

nuff said!

16. I'm glad you've moved on from arguing the veracity of the conversation at least.

I'll have you rooting for New England by Christmas.

:hide:

You're just pissed that Belicheck got CAUGHT and the others who may or may not have been doing the same thing didn't.

And if any team did this besides the Cowboys, caught or not, you'd be on it like a pitbull on a kid covered in gravy. Who are you kidding?

I don't think it's a big deal either way. Belichick was wrong to do it after the memo, no doubt. I'm not pissed that he got caught, I'm glad he got caught. My point was never that it was ok because others used the same method to steal signals. What I stated in the post that seemed to set people off was that anyone who thinks that the signal stealing is why the Patriots won is an idiot when it comes to football, a comment I stand by 100%. Trumad got it right when he said that cheating isn't why they won 18 straight after getting caught.

All this stuff is just side nonsense, but you make it fun by getting all lathered up. You're going to have to get used to seeing that pic. ;)

[madinmaryland]

18. Heh! Me? All I have to say is CHEATRIOTS and you go flying into

a raging hysteria! Almost as amusing as the "Barroid" comment! Now that you are all lathered up, maybe you should go shave!!

:D

BTW, I never said that they cheated after they were CAUGHT!
