Hours after promising a "thorough investigation" into complaints from Steelers coaches that their headsets didn't work properly during the Steelers loss to the Patriots Thursday night, the NFL on Friday cleared the Patriots of any wrongdoing.


Michael Signora, the NFL vice president of football communications, said the communications equipment falls under the jurisdiction of the league, and that the headset problems were a function of a power issue at the stadium that was made worse by foul weather but was fixed during the game.


The league added Friday that "it involved no manipulation by any individual; and that the Patriots had nothing to do with it. The issue was promptly resolved and there were no further problems for the remainder of the game. We will continue to review the matter to determine if there are technical steps that can be taken to avoid similar problems from occurring in other games."..............

:rolleyes:

Here we go with the weather excuse again. And yet the Pats had no issues with theirs. And no, I don't believe Belicheat when he said they had the same problem. Funny how the issue "cleared up" when they were about to shut both teams' headsets down. :coffee:

Why don't they just go back to wired? Especially in Foxboro. It should be the visiting teams choice.

Saw on NFL network, Bill Bilick coming out and saying that head sets are a problem everywhere because of all the radio signals that are going on during the game. He said Baltimore always had issues.

Hopefully they get caught doing this shady BS in the near future. this is also one of the reasons goodell had to destroy the evidence in spygate. the FCC would have gotten involved. you cannot go jamming or tampering with radio frequencies. I remember reading where Doug Flutie who was on the pattcakes back when the spygate BS was going on. said they were talking to Brady right up to when the ball was snapped. he said he could not believe they were getting away with it.

this is what happens when you have 2 insecure jerks with inferiority complexes. bellyache gets canned from the clowns goes on a lifelong mission to prove he isn't a bad coach. then you get marcia getting her panties in a bunch from being a 6th rd draft pick. these 2 together are a bunch of clowns who will stop at nothing to make sure they go down in history as the best ever. I will never recognize them for it ever!!!! due to the bush league BS these 2 have pulled over the yrs just to try and cement their legacies. KARMA will get them in the end. because of the arrogance that they can do whatever they want and no one will be able to catch them doing it. that day cannot come soon enough!!!

I say it's time to ban Bellichick from the NFL (including the Hall of Fame) and to force Kraft to sell the team. The Patriots feel empowered to cheat more than ever now that Shady Brady got off on deflategate (though I would love a reversal on appeal to come down the day before their first playoff game, forcing Brady to miss it and the Pats to get killed).

I call bullshit on the Pats on this as well. Given today's technology, it's highly unlikely for this to happen. If so, why don't you here this crap happening to Emergency Services personel ?

Personally, I would NOT rule out a rogue Patriot fan. It is entirely possible to "jam" and "FU" other's radios and frequencies. Militarys do it all the time.

It's not out of the scope of relm for a person with advanced electronic knowledge to do the same at a mass sporting event.

It's not out of the scope of relm for a person with advanced electronic knowledge to do the same at a mass sporting event.They said they heard the Pat's radio broadcast through the headsets. It went off/on as the referee walked to the Pat's bench.

I could see a person (rogue fan) watching the Game broadcast tweaking jamming equipment power output up and down at the same time.

Sounds far fetched I know, but I know from personal experience. Not screwing with that type of equipment but with CB Linear amplifiers. Those who know this stuff will know what I'm talking about.

I had a 1400 Watt mobile linear setup in my car. I could cause electronic havoc at will. That wasn't the purpose I had it, but it sure was a side effect. It would open garage doors, set off car alarms. One day I was sitting at a red light....chatting on my CB and heard my voice OUTSIDE over some type of speaker system. I looked around and realized I was bleeding over on my town's tornado siren speaker (which sat up on a telephone pole)! Another time, I was waiting for my wife out in the car while she ran inside Kroger's. Chatting on the CB... saw my wife stomping out of the store...she's get's in the car and says.."You were coming over the WHOLE store's overhead radio system!" LMAO !!

So yea, this RF Overloading is entirely possible. Even with today's technology. So I'm sticking with this being a rogue fan f***king with the headsets.

But I don't see how rain would cause them to pick up a completely different frequency..I have yet to see a comprehensive anaylsis of the TECHNICAL details of exactly how and why these "electrical" issues enhanced by "bad weather" effected these headsets. Until I see TECHNICAL proof I'm calling bullshit on the Pats.

That said, I'm investigating Technical issues that could cause this type of problem. I have found it IS possible for electrical/electronic interference, but given today's advanced headset/electronic technologies and the vast financial wealth to correct said issues, I am not yet fully convinced. Until there is a detail forensic analysis done, I am still calling bullshit.

Here is a thread I started on one of the top Scanner websites trying to find Technical reasoning for all this.

I think the first time it happened years ago, it was a mistake. Innocent, with no human manipulation. Then, Kraft goes to Belicheat and says, "We're going to replace the headset system. Do you have any preferences?"

Belicheat answers. "Absolutely not! Keep the old system."

"But, it picks up radio signals all the time."

"Exactly."

They are completely different frequencies. FM radio is 88-107 MHz (the Patriots Radio Network is 98.5, right smack in the middle). Below it is TV broadcasting and above it is aeronautical navigation.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/United_States_Frequency_Allocations_Chart_2003_-_The_Radio_Spectrum.jpg

Non-broadcast wireless devices - e.g., anything wireless that does not require a license from the FCC including wifi, garage door openers, cordless phones, etc. - are all jammed into narrow bands around 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I believe NFL headsets formerly used 5 GHz, but they probably don't anymore because a ton of other things also use it now. There's also a band at 1.9 GHz for wireless voice communications that some professional headsets use. Then there are are some wireless microphones that operate in the band between TV channels 4 and 5, or above aeronautics:
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Cordless_Microphones

But the bottom line is that whatever frequency the headsets are using, it's not even close to FM radio, and you should not be able to "accidentally" pick up that signal, any more than you can listen to FM radio on your TV or your wireless router. Someone would have to deliberately rebroadcast the radio program at the frequency used by the headsets. Since practically everything in the world uses 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, I doubt the NFL would want to cram into those bands and suffer crippling interference from civilian equipment at every turn. They probably use something that is not common in order to avoid that - which would narrow down the list of people capable of rebroadcasting it by, like, a LOT.

One other thing I do know is that the sideline communication systems in the NFL use a separate repeater for each team, and the coach-to-QB communication at least is not a direct link - it goes up to a repeater elsewhere in the stadium and then beamed back down to the field. That way when it gets down to the window at the end of the play clock when QB helmet radios aren't allowed, the league operator simply hits the kill switch. So it is definitely possible to have directed interference that affects one team's communications but not another.

The idea of it being an "electrical problem" seems pretty fishy. What electrical problem it could be, I can't imagine.

http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/rf-technology-design/receiver-overload/basics-tutorial.phpWhen I had my 1400 WATT CB Linear, I used RF overload to knock obnoxious/abuse truckers Off-Line. How you may ask ? Well, I would pull up right along side them....aligning my rooftop mounted antenna directly across from their mirror mounted antennas on their trucks. Antenna to antenna gap <10 feet. I would then whistle loudly into my microphone therefore maximizing full military power out of my linear directly into the receiving end of the trucker's CB blowing out the electronic circuitry inside his radio. Totally knocking him off the air.

Back to the headset issue, powerful RF signals from radios often override the electronic circuitry in speaker systems. This is one way that could have led to the Patriot radio broadcast being overheard in the headsets.

Yeah, but it's not as if the broadcast tower is at the stadium. Someone would have to be transmitting it locally for that.

I guess there are ways you could have the radio broadcast polluting the other channel by "getting your wires crossed" so to speak on the equipment end - but really, those are separate systems on separate equipment, or if not, they ought to be.

In any case, the further we get into either scenario, the harder it is to imagine happening completely by accident.

I laugh when Pats fans post those links and information about other teams cheating...when other teams are salary cap issues, illegal practices, recruiting, player PEDs...all very, very, very minor compared to spygate, compared to deflategate, compared to things that actually the team did that tarnishes the game muc. much. much more than the others mentioned.

WTC 7 had no plane crash into it, yet it fell at freefall speeds. Never happened before or since, where small office fires cause a steel-framed building to completely collapse. That explanation is a huge pile of bull shit.

Yes, here on Earth, that happens. Last I'm going to say about 9/11 - it's not difficult to believe a building collapsed after millions of tons of crap fell on it and then it was on fire literally ALL DAY. It's well-established fires are hotter than the melting point of steel. In any case, none of this bullshit is going to make the buildings come back, or bring anyone back from the dead, or stick it to Bush and his oil buddies or whatever you're trying to do. People have moved on.

The reason why you cannot have big conspiracies is because someone, somewhere, will fuck up or not be able to keep their mouth shut and then the whole thing is exposed. The bigger the conspiracy, the closer the probability of that approaches to 1.

Look at the Patriots, for example. Their conspiracy consisted of three guys in a locker room letting the air out of footballs, and they couldn't even get that right. It's common knowledge around the league that they pull shit like that on a regular basis. This is why conspiracies don't work.

Last I'm going to say about 9/11 - it's not difficult to believe a building collapsed after millions of tons of crap fell on it and then it was on fire literally ALL DAY. It's well-established fires are hotter than the melting point of steel. In any case, none of this bullshit is going to make the buildings come back, or bring anyone back from the dead, or stick it to Bush and his oil buddies or whatever you're trying to do. People have moved on.

The reason why you cannot have big conspiracies is because someone, somewhere, will fuck up or not be able to keep their mouth shut and then the whole thing is exposed. The bigger the conspiracy, the closer the probability of that approaches to 1.

Look at the Patriots, for example. Their conspiracy consisted of three guys in a locker room letting the air out of footballs, and they couldn't even get that right. It's common knowledge around the league that they pull shit like that on a regular basis. This is why conspiracies don't work.

And BAM! - just like that, back on topic.

With respect to mod's request, let's just say your response is funny. You watch 7 go down and conclude that debri a football field away made it completely collapse at free fall speed? You a funny guy.

I am going to just leave this year. Planned or not, it was intentionally brought down that day and did not just happen to collapse.

Let's be realistic here for a minute...ESPN uses Madden as a simulation throughout the season and for the Super Bowl. There's no reason @steelreserve using it here is out of the norm or strange in anyway. It holds water...

Discussion like this in intellectually dishonest. Using straw man arguments is dealing in low IQ technique.

Afraid so, strawman. You're probably a big racist full of logical fallacies too.
