While the NFL ponders what punishment to doll out to the New England Patriots for their videotaping of the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline during their loss to the Cleveland Browns, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer released a bombshell: the video of the Patriots' video team recording the Bengals' sideline.
Watch below.

Glazer obtained a video of the conversation between Bengals security and the Patriots' videography crew. In the video, New England's video staff claims that they can delete the video, saying, “once it's gone, it's gone.” The Bengals security responded with a chuckle, saying “the damage is already done.”
The New England staff said they were filming an advanced scout. The Bengals rep said, “I don't see the advance scout in this footage,” to which he warranted a response of: “I can delete this right here for you.”
The issue has turned into SpyGate 2.0. It's worth noting that the man to release the video of the first SpyGate, in 2007, happened to be Glazer.
The Bengals pushed the league office about the issue when it came to light after Sunday's loss to the Browns. One would be willing to bet that they sent in the video — containing eight minutes of practice footage — to Glazer and Co.
The Patriots and Bengals will play on Sunday, in turn making for some interesting drama.
The NFL is currently investigating the matter. With the video released to the public, expect their decision-making to expedite, as the world now knows what's going in New England. Expect the NFL to hand the Patriots some fine at minimum.
