Marshall Faulk Maintains The Patriots Filmed The Rams' Practice

[RealGM Wiretap]

Marshall Faulk still believes that the New England Patriots filmed the St. Louis Rams' final practice before the Super Bowl in 2002 despite no evidence that anything illegal ever took place.

The rumor emerged around the time the Spygate story broke in 2007.

"[The practice] before the Super Bowl," Faulk said. "The guy who worked for the Patriots. If you remember, that was someone mysteriously living in Hawaii, who made his way back to the states and delivered the tapes. [Roger] Goodell then watched those tapes and said there wasn't enough there to deem anything being done. Now, I didn't see what was on the tapes, because we didn't get to see that. The only thing I could say is that they taped our practice. That was wrong."

Faulk was asked if he "believed" the Rams' practice was taped.

"I don't believe anything. I'm just telling you the facts," Faulk said.

Faulk still just can't get over the fact that they were simply beaten by a good team. Dude is the biggest Patriots hater out there, every week on NFL Network he says something completely ridiculous about the Pats and picks them to lose about 75% of the time. Get over it man, stuff is ancient history now, you're the only one on TV still bringing it up

Everyone but Patriots fans know the Pats cheated up until their lone legit SB win versus SEA. That's why all their records should have an asterisk. Bill and Brady are still the best at what they do but in order to win SB with crap rosters they've had they needed an edge and got one illegally.

Hey, jrob, let's see what yourteamcheats.com has to say about the Steelers.

With 6:26 left in the third quarter of their 2013 Thanksgiving night game in Pittsburgh, Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones took a kickoff back and had to alter his path because Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had stepped onto the field. Jones returned the kick 73 yards, but was tackled by defensive back Cortez Allen on the play, and Baltimore had to settle for a field goal on the drive.
...
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was fined $100,000 by NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson for stepping onto the field during his team's 22-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers could have lost 2014 draft picks if the play had impacted the Ravens 2013 playoff standing.
...
After reading about Tomlin's bold cheat, one curious Twitter user proposed the following thought experiment: "can you imagine if Belichick tripped a player running to the endzone? Seal team 6 would be on its way to foxborough".

Richard Rydze, a Pittsburgh Steelers team doctor from 1985 to 2007, was indicted in 2012 for his long history of purchasing and illegally prescribing anabolic steroids, human growth hormones and painkillers. The physician was also charged with health care fraud for falsely diagnosing more than 90 patients with pituitary dwarfism so they could receive human growth hormones and drugs meant to counteract the side-effects of steroid use.

The Steelers dropped Rydze from their roster of doctors in June 2007.

Former Saints coach Jim Haslett accused the '70s Steelers of being "the ones who kind of started" steroid use in the NFL.

Said Haslett: "It started, really, in Pittsburgh. They got an advantage on a lot of football teams. They were so much stronger (in the) '70s, late '70s, early '80s.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their third-round pick in the 2001 draft and were fined $150,000 by the National Football League yesterday for violating salary cap rules with the retired offensive tackle Will Wolford.

The league determined that the Steelers made an undisclosed commitment to pay Wolford $400,000 that violated the league's rules governing the size of team payrolls.

In May of 1978, the Pittsburgh Steelers were caught running an illegal off-season practice and stripped of their third-round pick in the 1979 draft by commissioner Pete Rozelle.

Rather than acknowledge that he broke the rules and apologize for the infraction, Steelers head coach Chuck Noll instead lashed out at Clayton calling his report "espionage."

In November of 2012 the NFL fined Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders $15,000 and the Steelers organization another $35,000 for Sanders' faking of an injury against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 21, 2012.

Its comically how envious and sour some people can be. Crap rosters? I'm not going to list how many all pro players have gone through their system, you need to do a little more homework.

Well, according to your team cheats they aren't even in the top half of teams that have been caught. The win so much however that the haters seem to mentally block out when every other team gets in trouble. It's okay though, the more hate a team gets the better they are. There will be a lot of sour teams after this Sunday.

Your team intentionally losing games in '11 remains one of the most shameful displays I have ever seen in pro sports.

Fortunately, it looks like it won't pay off for you any time soon.

Why'd the NFL decide to burn the Spygate tapes? The NFL planned to burn the Ray Rice tapes and look how bad that turned out to be when it came out.

Why'd the NFL decide to burn the Spygate tapes? The NFL planned to burn the Ray Rice tapes and look how bad that turned out to be when it came out.

You need to do more research. That the contents of the tapes never saw the light of day is myth #1 of that whole saga.

They're out there, if you want to see them. Most don't, because they don't want to risk having their opinions changed.

After footage from the actual tape was aired on Fox NFL Sunday on September 16, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson claimed, "This is exactly how I was told to do it 18 years ago by a Kansas City Chiefs scout. I tried it, but I didn't think it helped us." Johnson also said, "Bill Belichick was wrong because he videotaped signals after a memo was sent out to all of the teams saying not to do it. But what irritates me is hearing some reactions from players and coaches. These players don't know what their coaches are doing. And some of the coaches have selective amnesia because I know for a fact there were various teams doing this. That's why the memo was sent to everybody. That doesn't make [Belichick] right, but a lot of teams are doing this."[1]

Marshall Faulk is more than likely correct. Thank goodness the brady/belicheck era is almost over. Hell even robert kraft is pushing 80.

An illegal practice in the offseason? Unheard of and unforgivable! The edge that pad less scrimmage must have given them was insane!
A player faking an injury? That sure hasnt happened 17 times a game since the 80's. And no patriot has ever even considering doing anything of that nature.
Giving some decrepit, drooling retiree some pocket money on the low? How dare those filthy steelers.
And oh, the best one, where they're responsible for steroids pervading American sports because some **** guy said so. Congrats. Let's just ignore how your source is a circle-jerk of ass-munching patriots fan trying to make themselves feel better about their shady ass team's shady ass actions.
All the real dirt from spygate was burned on-site at foxboro by goodell's goons. The pats were doing far more than cataloguing a library full of stolen plays and signals(which in and of itself is bad enough) and stealing play books from the road teams locker room. Just be happy that goodell didn't want an "mlb steroids" type of pr nightmare, otherwise your team wouldn't have had a first round pick for a **** decade.
Anti-pats people are annoying as ****. I don't even hate the pats for mastering their art, but when delusional people say delusional **** it's impossible not to notice. And when they begin to scale "cheating" to suit their **** agendas it just becomes sad.

I can appreciate that this must be a very difficult time for a lot of football fans. Having to watch our guys established as the greatest QB of all time, the greatest HC of all time, and the greatest football dynasty of all time. And, not just in the eyes of Patriots fans, but in the national media as well.

So, I'll let you have this one. It's the least I could do. After Sunday night, I realized, it's just not a battle we need to fight anymore. It's over. The bad guys won.

Seriously. The hypocrisy in that post was impressive. First the "scaling cheating" bit, then later how he calls me out for the quality of my source, then proceeds to give no source at all for his claims about what the Pats were doing. Just embarrassing stuff.

Also notice how, when countering the Steelers stuff, he touches the easier points, but strategically avoids the one about Tomlin stepping on the field to affect a play in progress.

And of course, as always, the convenient framing to minimize the severity of anything not involving the Patriots, and maximize anything involving them.

A player faking an injury? That sure hasnt happened 17 times a game since the 80's. And no patriot has ever even considering doing anything of that nature.

A team trying to steal signs? That sure hasnt happened continuously since the dawn of sports. And no team other than the Patriots has ever even considering doing anything of that nature.

Which is why it's such a head-shaker to see him acting like he's taking the high-ground and merely calling us out on "delusional ****" and "agendas". Can't even see his own agenda and biases, apparently.
