seeing the mighty Patriots being brought to earth.

A good article in SI.com about New England's video taping incident.

Here are parts of the article
........
Last year the Lions played the Patriots in Foxboro. At one point their coach, Rod
Marinelli, phoned up to the press box, "There's a camera pointed right at our
defensive coach making his calls. Is that allowed?" A Lions' employee called the
NFL booth. No, it certainly was not. So the videotaper was stopped. Then after a
while he began again. The same process was repeated and he was asked to
stop again. Now that's dedication.

"You don't really know for sure," Marinelli said. "I mean you don't know whether
he might be doing something for NFL Films or a coaches' show or whatever."

"At one point we had a good drive going against the Patriots," said one Lion who
doesn't want his name involved in this mess, but was willing to talk about
it. "Mike Martz really had 'em going. They were getting fouled up, lining up
wrong, we were moving the ball. Then boom, the headset from the sidelines to
the coaches' booth goes out.

"Next possession we were moving the ball again and the same thing happened.
You know it only takes two or three plays to mess up a drive."

......

Marinelli was the defensive line coach in Tampa Bay when the Bucs beat the
Patriots in the 2000 regular season opener and did a good job controlling New
England's offense. After the game the Patriots' offensive coach, Charlie Weis,
was overheard congratulating the Bucs' defensive coordinator, Monte Kiffin.

"We knew all your calls, and you still stopped us," Weis said. "I can't believe it."

Everyone is secretly enjoying seeing the mighty Patriots being brought to earth.

"Irony, that's what my father loved best," said Art Rooney Jr., the Steelers'
former player personnel director. "This would have been perfect for him."
