5. NFL reprimands Belichek goon

The NFL has reprimanded the Patriots' chief of security, Mark Briggs, for his role that led to an NBC cameraman losing his feet in the postgame aftermath of last Sunday night's game in Indianapolis, according to a league source.

NBC cameraman Peter Stendel had moved in for a close-up shot of Patriots coach Bill Belichick as he made his exit from the field when Stendel was encountered by Briggs, who pushed Stendel's hands in a downward motion. Stendel fell to the ground.

Stendel complained that he was pushed down by Briggs, but after reviewing videotape, the NFL determined the cause of his fall was inconclusive because it appeared Stendel was running out of cable to his camera.

Nevertheless, Briggs received a letter of reprimand to show more restraint, and TV networks were sent a memo asking that camera employees proceed with restraint, as well.

7. This is the key part

Stendel complained that he was pushed down by Briggs, but after reviewing videotape, the NFL determined the cause of his fall was inconclusive because it appeared Stendel was running out of cable to his camera.

In the video it does look like he ran out of cable. However the camera crew was also reprimanded so really who knows what really happened?
