Report BB was taping Cincinnati Bengals play calls.

And it keeps getting more interesting at least via unnamed sources.

Quote:Paul Dehner Jr. of TheAthletic.com reports, citing unnamed sources who have seen the video, that “it shows about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals’ sideline,” and that it includes “a direct view of the sideline as players run on and off the field and coaches make signals for plays.”

The whole thing is bizarre given the Patriots history with Spygate. Either they were actually doing something benign by filming some documentary on their scouts or they thought they were being sneaky "filming a documentary about scouts" and using it as an excuse to cheat. I do have a hard time thinking they were trying to cheat against the 1-12 Bengals though. But why take that risk at all filming a documentary like that given their history? Why risk putting the team in a questionable position again for some "Do Your Job" web series/documentary or what ever you want to call it? Innocent or not it seems like a kind of reckless idea given their past.

Anyway at least the Bengals have time to change their signals before the Patriots game. Not that I think it will matter.
