ESPN: NFL investigating camera spying case

Cory Bergman September 10th, 2007

ESPN is reporting that the NFL confiscated a camera from a Patriots employee during the Jets game this last weekend. From ESPN: “The Patriots’ cameraman was suspected of aiming his camera at the Jets’ defensive coaches who were sending signals to their unit on the field, the sources said. The league also is investigating some radio frequency issues that occurred during the game.” Scandal! (Sorry Safran, but I felt compelled.)

Meanwhile, did anyone catch the yawn last night on Monday Night Football? With 6 minutes or so left in the fourth quarter — and a tight game that happened to have a dramatic ending — one of the announcers yawned over the microphone just before the show dipped to black in a commercial break. (I’m bettin’ it’s Ditka.) My sentiments exactly. It’s amazing how MNF has become a boring production compared to the Sunday Night Football folks over on NBC. (Full disclosure: I work for an NBC station, but really.)
