Yup, now you're seeing why I was skeptical about this whole thing, lol...They were all like 'They're cheating' but when you put things into perspective..? Its hard to think they weren't just misunderstanding the rules...They blew out one of the best teams in the league today, and I don't think they're going to stop there...Undefeated..? Not as big a stretch as one may think...

Belichick To Turn Materials Over to NFL

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday he would comply with the NFL's latest request in its spying investigation to provide any notes or tapes made from video recordings similar to those that drew a serious penalty against him and the team.

"Of course," he said firmly when asked about the request for materials.

Last Thursday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell fined Belichick $500,000 and the team $250,000 for violating a league rule that prohibits clubs from using a sideline camera to videotape the opponent's sideline. New England also would forfeit a first-round draft pick next year if it makes the playoffs or a second- and third-rounder if it doesn't.

A videocamera was confiscated from a Patriots employee during the first quarter of their 38-14 win over the New York Jets on Sept. 9.

Goodell said Sunday he trusted that the club would give the league the information it asked for.

"I'm very confident the Patriots are going to abide by the rules," he said. "They understand that the consequences could increase."

The Patriots beat the San Diego Chargers 38-14 on Sunday night without the videocamera, but many questions at Belichick's regular Monday news conference dealt with the investigation. He tried to shift the focus to the latest win and next Sunday's home game against Buffalo.

Team owner Robert Kraft gave Belichick the game ball Sunday night.

"I appreciated it. It's a nice gesture. The most important thing is to put that (game) behind us," Belichick said. "It's time to move on."
