Summary

1:11 - Tom Curran explains why he believes Bill Belichick when he says he had no knowledge of the videotaping of the Bengals' sideline because the head coach has made it clear in the past that the Patriots would never come close to breaking those rules after Spy Gate. 8:53 - Matt Cassel joins Tom to talk about how the Patriots handled Spygate in the locker room and on the field in 2007. 16:01 - How much did Spygate hurt the Patriots' image and how much will past events fan the flames of accusation in the current situation? 19:20 - Tom and Matt pivot to the state of the Patriots offense and discuss Josh McDaniels’ comments on how he uses ‘gadget plays’ to trick opposing teams. Matt commends McDaniels for the job he’s done this season trying to figure out how to utilize the weapons he has. 27:06 - Despite N’Keal Harry’s touchdown never being recognized on Sunday night, the play proved he could help the team on the ground. Tom and Matt discuss how the Patriots are still trying to figure out what Harry does best. 32:34 - Rich Eisen from NFL Network joins Tom to give a national perspective of the videotaping situation. Eisen can’t believe how absurd the details are, but does think the Patriots will receive some form of punishment.
