Good day all. If you follow sports at all, you will be aware of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady, Deflategate and the Patriots intelligence gathering activities on other teams.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This has given rise to levels of paranoia where the Patriots are involved that are absolutely epic. Just how epic? Recently, the New York Jets had their locker room at Gillette Stadium swept for bugs, and I don’t mean the creepy crawly kind. Here are the details from CBS New York<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Because of past incidents like \u201cSpygate\u201d and \u201cDeflategate<\/a>,\u201d the franchise is constantly criticized for breaking the rules in an effort to gain an unfair advantage.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lies and sour grapes by second rate teams, that’s all.<\/p>\n

It seems that the Jets kept this in mind ahead of their game at Gillette Stadium last week. <\/i>On Friday morning, WFAN host Boomer Esiason said he was told on Thursday night that, prior to the game, the Jets asked the NFL to sweep the locker room in Foxborough for bugs \u2014 aka hidden listening devices.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iNkrF43SZEU’]<\/p>\n

Well, I see that Bill Belichick’s<\/a> cunning plan to utterly gaslight opposing teams is working splendidly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have conducted, for years, routine and random checks around the league,\u201d an NFL spokesman told the New York Daily News. \u201cWe do not get into details of specific games.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let me guess? Those \u201cRandom\u201d checks always seem to take place at Gillette Stadium?<\/p>\n

\u201cPeyton Manning has always thought that there were listening devices in there,\u201d Esiason said. \u201cAnd then when he would go in there and he would talk to his teammates, he\u2019d put his hand over this mouth and he\u2019d whisper into the ear of his teammates because he was afraid that there could actually be a camera in there to read his lips.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"tin_foil_hat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boomer went on to explain that paranoia comes with the territory in the National Football League. Were the Jets extra paranoid because they were playing the Patriots? Maybe, maybe not.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, \u201cNever let your bad reputation go to waste when your opponent is looking for something that is not there.\u201d<\/p>\n
