While Bill Belichick has already adamantly denied any involvement in the alleged illegal taping of the Bengals’ sideline during their game against the Browns, the questions about it keep coming.
And Belichick has had enough of it.

Bill Belichick adamant about videotaping situation: "The football team, the football staff, and the coaching staff had nothing to do with what happened. Nothing."
"We had no involvement in it. Zero."

There’s really nothing else that needs to be said on the matter when it comes to Belichick’s side of it all. He has repeatedly explained how the production arm of the team has nothing to do with the football operations side. He has stated that numerous times to numerous reporters but the same questions continue to get asked.
Of course, everyone wants to hear his opinion on the matter, and that makes sense, but when the coach has already answered every question the same way, there’s going to be a point where he doesn’t even respond, which is when the media is going to jump down his throat and say he is dodging the questions. It’s a tale as old as time when it comes to this team.
While it’s true that very little goes on with the New England Patriots that Belichick doesn’t know about, that ends when the matter becomes non-football related … which this entire ordeal is.
We have surely not heard the last of Belichick speaking on the subject or the last of reporters asking him and the rest of the team about it.
