New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis had the ability to eavesdrop on opposing coaching staffs, according to a report on Monday.
The ESPN program “Outside the Lines” was told that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Louisiana was informed on Friday that Loomis had an electronic device in his Superdome suite that had been re-wired to give him the capability to eavesdrop on visiting coaching staffs for three seasons.
Loomis responded by email to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, which Glazer posted on his Twitter account:
“This report on ESPN is absolutely false. I have a monitor in front of me in my booth that provides the league issued stats for the game. I have a small tv [sic] with the network broadcast and I have an earpiece to listen to the WWL- AM radio (flagship broadcaster) game broadcast.
