Hey all --

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio -- who openly said his players should have speared Tom Brady after the Jags' game with New England last season -- was in front of a microphone again today and implied that that Patriots messed with his team's radio system during the 2005 playoffs.

"Our coach-to-quarterback system mysteriously malfunctioned the entire first half," Del Rio said today.

Jacksonville was flagged for two delay-of-game penalties in the first 20 minutes of that game.

Jags defensive end Paul Spicer said yesterday that the Patriots should lose a second- and third-round draft pick, be fined $2 million, and that the NFL should "do like the NCAA and kick them out of the playoffs or something. Put them on probation; they can't go to no playoff games. Roger Goodell has definitely enforced some new rules. He's been hard on players. Now let's see how hard he's going to be with a team."

Spicer acknowledged that players and teams have been trying to gain advantage for years, but that the Pats' alleged videotaping is over the line.

The NFL is reportedly investigating the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game with the Jets.
