Nix and Dominik should have realized something was fishy when they discussed that he had the wrong number! Dominik proceeds to give him the correct number and they never questioned how they were magically connected.
Nix looks especially dumb, he knows he didn’t call the bucs main number. He called the wrong cell number for the 90th time. Hahaha

If Nix called them, then the would certainly be able to claim they were part of the conversation and likely able to record the conversation, even if they said nothing, as NY is a One Party Consent state. Don’t know where the pranksters are from, which could muddle that. But, if Dominick was in his offices in FL, which is an “All Party” state (spring break, woohoo !), then everyone involved in the conversation would have to specifically give consent to the recording of the conversation.

Punishments range from a fine of up to $10k or a prison sentence of no more than 5 years. Oh, and the “victims” may be able to recover any attorney fees or damages that the illegal recording may have caused.

Dominik: Hey Nix! Is your refrigerator running?
Nix: I think so
Dominik: Well you better go catch it…. hahahaha

I cannot speak for other states but in California the secret monitoring and/or recording is a felony. Cal Pen Code Sec 695, It is rarely prosecuted. There is a civil action for $5,000 per recording statutory damages.

Most other states prohibit recording unless at least 1 party to the call consents. Some states you need all parties to consent.

Mike, it depends. Some states are one party consent states for recording conversations.

“Oh please. The National Fixed League has no shame. Give the Redskins back it’s 36 million in cap now!!!”

Why on earth would the NFL make a point to lock out “America’s Team” and RGIII? The NFL is into MAKING MONEY. Who would sell more freaking jerseys after a Super Bowl win than RGIII? They’re going to showcase him like they showcased Vick in the Falcons days. It’s called marketing, get a clue buddy. Wait until the schedule comes out, Two primetame games for them at least (which proves my point). Raise your game dude, don’t be a homer

“An overly zealous prosecutor ”

Why would you use that line. These were 20 year olds, not kids. We expect more out of our 14 year olds than that.

Didn’t an entire industry in the UK just crumble due to wiretapping and snooping. Career police and reporters are going to jail for that.

Theses “kids” needs to be made an example of. This isn’t a simple prank call to a random person in a phone book. They’re messing with executives in a billion dollar industry.

Pretty shining example of why the Bills and Bucs stink.

How can the two not realize within 10 seconds that one hadn’t called the other?

These guys should lose their jobs; not because the act itself was that grievous as much as how much it showcases their stupidity.

I don’t know if the law is different in New York, but in Michigan it is not wire tapping if the recording was made by one of the parties involved in the conversation, even if the other party knew about it or not.

You’d hate to see some “kids” go to jail for something like this. But what if something like this inadvertently caused a major situation, such as the retirement of Barry Sanders? At some point a line is crossed between prank and attempt to rewrite future history books. That’s no laughing matter.

Put ‘em in prison for just one day, and record the pranks other inmates put them through.
