Spygate: There’s Something Fishy Going On

This piece began as an innocuous update on what was known as “Videogate” and has now, by ESPN, been turned into “Spygate.” As the update was being written, new news broke and with it came a revelation, of sorts.

First, I want to ask people to use the original name, “Videogate” instead of “Spygate” which is way too obvious and far too sensationalistic. That subtle and unnoticed name change has subtly acted to alter the way the incident is being viewed. It is now more nefarious, more sinister. It implies that we need to dig deep into the rabbit hole that is Bill Belichick’s NFL and find him to be the holder of secrets on the order of ———– the CIA.

Believe that only if you need to….
