The Denver Broncos and head coach Josh McDaniels have each been slapped with $50,000 fines for spygating a San Francisco 49ers practice before Week 8, when the two teams played in London. Additionally, Denver’s video operations director and former Patriots’ video staff member, Steve Scarnecchia has been relieved of his services and could very well be taking his talents to Bang Bros Productions.

“Scarnecchia filmed the drills of his own accord, later offering to show the video to McDaniels. But the coach declined, the Broncos said. The NFL found that McDaniels, who was fined $50,000, had failed to report the incident as required by league policy. The team was held responsible for its employee and also fined $50,000.”

I’d like to take this time to applaud Josh McDaniels for his impeccable self control, as him honorably declining to view the video is completely believable. And with Scarnecchia and his knack for wrongdoing now out of the picture, McDaniels and his staff can finally move forward with some peace of mind. Hear hear!
