NFL reprimands New England Patriots employee for incident involving NBC cameraman

"After Sunday’s Patriots-Colts game, a Patriots employee escorting coach Bill Belichick off the field appeared to knock a cameraman to the ground," Michael David Smith writes. "Now that employee has been reprimanded." Smith quotes Chris Mortensen of ESPN as reporting that NFL has reprimanded Patriots Chief Operating Officer of TeamOps Security Mark Briggs over the incident. "Mortensen said the league thought a review of the tape was inconclusive as to whether Briggs actually knocked the cameraman down, but apparently the league was concerned enough to warn Briggs to be on his best behavior going forward," Smith writes.
