Yep, you're missing it. Or you've missed it...
The Pats were busted early in the season for videotaping another team's signals. They were fined (heavily) and lost a draft pick next year, and that was the end of it.
Until the NFL destroyed the videotaped evidence, and some senator has gotten it into his mind that they shouldn't have done that, so he's initiating a heavy-handed "discussion" about it... his own vigilante court, IMHO.
And just three days ago, some video guy who was with the Pats five years ago claimed that he videotaped the Rams' walkthrough just prior to their SuperBowl meeting with the Pats.
So, yeah... you've missed it. I'd consider yourself lucky...
