As part of their probe into the allegations, the NFL required the Patriots to turn over all notes and tapes relating to the taping of opponents' defensive signals; the Patriots complied with the order and the NFL reviewed and then destroyed the materials. brownies

Sack Exchange is a fun, unique look into a special time in Jets History. I become a Jets fan during the dark days of the early 1990's. I had always heard about the history of the Jets and their success in the 80's but didn't know much about it. This book really brought those times to life. The author interviews many of the key players, who are extremely candid in sharing their thoughts. A fun read.
