DOLPHINS
The Palm Beach Post reported that prior to the 21-0 victory of the Dolphins over the Patriots on December 13 2006, the Dolphins staff purchased tape with audio (the League supplies game tapes to teams upon request, but these tapes have no audio). Dolphins players said these tapes were critical in preparing to identify quarterback audibles and line-blocking calls, and they considered this inside information on the Patriots audible system. "I've never seen Brady so flustered," said Dolphins middle linebacker Zach Thomas. And what did the commissioner do? "Reaction around the league office was, 'That's football,' " said AFC spokesman Steve Alic.
