SPORTSbyBROOKS (via YAHOO!) has this tasty treat about the Broncos possibly videotaping Chargers’ practices in the past.

The Yahoo article stated that the Chargers “increased their security ’several years ago’ during weeks in which they played the Broncos because Denver spies were videotaping Chargers practices.”

But in a response that’s become commonplace in the NFL, neither the Chargers nor Broncos would comment on the allegations.

San Diego GM A.J. Smith admitted that security had been beefed up at the team’s facilities since 2003, but wouldn’t further elaborate: “Why’d I go into those procedures? I won’t go down those roads.”

The Chargers’ & Broncos’ reluctance to discuss the matter seems similar to the Steelers brushing off charges of the Patriots spying on Pittsburgh, with Steelers chairman Dan Rooney calling the videotaping a “non-issue”.

Bill Belichick just got a gift.

Seriously, give us back our sports. I’d like to wake up one day without seeing another freaking sports scandal. Steroids, illegal videotaping, refs gambling – where does it end? I need to go watch high school games more often.
