They had someone videotape the Jets defensive coaches as they gave signals to their players during the game in week 1...But, as it turns out just a week or two ago, the Jets were guilty of it too...The Pats lose a first round pick in the next draft, and the team was fined $250,000...and Belichick himself was fined $500,000

All of what redsoxfan561 is true save for the Goodel comment. He NEVER once said the word cheat. a rule violation is different from cheating and since the Pats coaches and players never saw the tape contents they just got caught breaking a newly placed rule. Cheating is defined is sports as using the info on the tape or bribing officials or even having and using un-authorized materials which I highly doubt happened since Goodel destroyed all Pats tapes and papers they had and are under watchful eyes. Hell Goodel is a good commissioner he said a few weeks ago in a radio statement any coach or player taking injuries into their own hands toward another team could face suspension of multiple games.

Basically, one person was taping Eric Mangini and the defensive coordinator's signals. The tapes were confiscated in the first quarter of the game and were reviewed. The Patriots went on to win the game 38-7. Then Roger Goodell told them they had "cheated," and the tapes were destroyed. The Patriots lost their first round pick and Bill Belicheck was fined $500,000.

They were using some type of video equipment, but I didn't catch how they were using it.
