| 15th December, 2007 - 11:10 am |  New York Daily News - Patriots' Coach Bill Belichick said Friday the Jets never requested permission to use an extra video camera in last season's playoff game in Foxborough, directly contradicting Eric Mangini's explanation of the events.
"I was never asked for permission nor was anyone in our video department asked for permission for a second end-zone camera," Belichick told NBCSports.com.
Evidently, someone isn't telling the truth.
Mangini, responding to published reports Wednesday that said a Jets' cameraman was stopped from taping, said the team received approval from the Patriots to shoot from both end zones.
The Patriots never filed a complaint with the NFL about last January's incident, and the league isn't investigating the matter. Spokesman Greg Aiello said this week there are "no restrictions on shooting from both end-zone positions as long as the opportunity is provided to both teams."
Mangini said the Jets haven't requested a second end-zone camera for tomorrow's game in New England because he "didn't think it would be granted." [READ] |
