The Jets' OC Says the Headsets Keep Going Out, 'Especially in New England'

Dammit. God dammit all. The Jets are onto us! The Patriots thought they were being so clever, secretly jamming the Jets headsets in Detroit, in East Rutherford and in Cleveland from afar, just to make it look like this is a league wide problem. That way it won’t be so obvious when they do it in Foxboro. In fact, they’ve been plotting to do it at every Jets game right up until they come to Foxboro. In Week 17.

But Jeremy Bates figured it out. Way to crack the case on this mystery, Velma. The lighthouse in Gillette is a really just a hidden Wardenclyffe Tower:

That much is obvious. It sure as hell isn’t a lighthouse. And here’s the Nikola Tesla who designed, built and operates it:

But now he’s been exposed, thanks to the Jets OC.

Of course, it was Mike Tomlin who first caught onto this devious plot, back in that Week 1 game in 2015, when Ben Roethlisberger’s helmet started picking up the Pats radio play-by-play. Sure, the NFL claimed the Patriots couldn’t be involved because the league handles all communication systems. And that apparently they are a multi-billion dollar operation that gets their electronic equipment at Radio Shack. But the Jets know better.

The league said the same thing in the 2011 AFC championship game when John Harbaugh didn’t have his kicker ready on 4th down of a 23-20 game, claiming the scoreboard said it was 3rd down. Sure, he had a timeout. And the situation required him to be able to count to four. And the guy standing in front of him was holding a big stick with a giant, bright orange “4” on the top.  But it wasn’t his fault, it was the Patriots. That time, the NFL also said they and they alone control the scoreboard. But they can’t deny there’s a … wait for it … pattern here.

And it’s not like you’d ever catch the Jets doing anything as scheming and underhanded as cheating to gain a competitive advantage.

Or tamper with a division rival’s key defensive player while he’s still under contract.

Well Jeremy Bates has cracked the code. And, presumably, the Patriots’ cheating days are over. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
