So. AGAIN. They were caught violating the only relevant rule, busted for it, and punished.
That's it. The tapes can serve no other purpose. Not unless you can directly name and quote any other relevant rule they might have violated. The only thing the tapes could prove is that they violated the non-taping rule and beyond that, there's nothing.
....
How do you know what they were busted for?
Because all of this was public. You can find detailed write-ups of this online, both when it happened and when Senator Specter brought it all up again, I just posted one of the best ones ever written on this, and it is so full of detail I had to use 2 posts to post the whole thing. [

If you think another rule was violated, name it. And that's not "hearsay," it's common sense based on knowing the NFL rules on this, which are also public knowledge.
And of course it helped them with superbowls. You act like someone denied that and no one has.
BUT the problem you face is this---it;'s not illegal to steal signals, and it's not illegal to use them. That;'s because the NFL considers security around those issues to be unenforceable at the league level, so security is up to individual teams. So while yeah there;s a very good chance they used signals in their superbowls, along with other things, that in itself DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY RULE.
Again the counter argument to this would be to prove that yes, using signals violates a rule. Since it doesn't you won;'t find anything saying that.
Therefore this whole thing about "destroying evidence" is kind of moot. The tapes already proved they violated the rule against taping signals. Beyond that they couldn't be busted for anything else because there is no other relevant rule on record to enforce.
