    The Patriots went 16-0 the same season as Spygate. In fact, this story broke after the week one game against the NY Jets. Eric Mangini became the Jets HC prior to the '07 season. Mangini was Belichicks protege and closest confidant on the Patriots staff. The Jets were Bills nemesis. So when Mangini left against Bill's advice and left for the Jets it set the stage for the week 1 game and in Randy Moss' first game as a Patriot, the '07 Pats blew their doors off in the Meadowlands. Mangini, knowing that Bill taped the sidelines clandestinely with the spies wearing "NFL" vests, Jets security apprehended the spies and confiscated the tapes and cameras. "Spygate" began to break Sunday night week 1 of 2007. By Monday morning the story was beginning to catch fire. By week 2 it was a full blown scandal. I was at the home opener vs the Norv Turner, Philip Rivers, LaDanian Tomlinson San Diego Chargers. The Patriots are their lunch. That '07 team was a WAGON. Despite losing to the Giants in 42, I believe they're still the best team of all time. They ran the table up until that Tyree fluke catch and the subsequent Eli to Burress TD. That team won all the games up until the Super Bowl under the shadow of a major scandal. It's hard to even fathom how that distraction didn't upend them completely. They just played and blew out nearly everyone. So much so that "running up the score" became scandalous to a lesser degree. Anyways... it's off topic from Roger the clown but, I just wanted to correct the record on when "Spygate" occurred, what led up to it, how it was "discovered", the Bill Belichick feud with the NY Jets stemming back to his 2000 Napkin resignation days prior to signing on as HC of the Patriots, a story going back to 1997 when the Jets nabbed Bill Parcels from the Patriots after tensions with owner Robert Kraft. Bill B was assistant HC of that AFC Champions team led by Parcels. Kraft got revenge on the Jets for swiping his HC Parcels. The coach wars between the Patriots and Jets next chapter was their stealing of Bill's DC Mangini, who was DC of a team the year prior that was up 21-0 at the half of the AFC Championship game at the RCA Dome in Indy vs Peyton and the Colts. Peyton came back and got his first win in the Brady Manning rivalry in 06 which led the Patriots to go get WR talent as they lacked majorly in 06. Bill Belichick was ready to destroy his protege, destroy the Jets, and he had all the talent to do exactly that. Brady connected to Moss on a bomb where Moss trucked by the dbs like nothing ever seen before and we all knew at that moment, the Patriots were a potential 19-0 team. Bill was arrogant to keep up the practice of spying clandestinely when the guy he mentored was his opponent and knew that there would be spies out there in "NFL" vests. He did it anyways. Shows the balls the guy had. Mangini, I think likely just wanted it stopped but, the bad blood going back to 1997 between Kraft, the Jets, Bill and the Jets and now Bill and Mangini, meant that the story was going to get out. It's New York after all and the media had a major story with the best team in the league in the last 6 years and the team that looked like it could be the best team in league history. It was one of the biggest stories in NFL history running alongside the greatest team, the greatest season of the greatest QB, the greatest season of a WR, under the greatest head coach in league history.
