Just read through the first ~15 - 20% of this. This is grade A, tin-foil hat conspiracy fiction. It reads like a National Treasure: Book of Secrets script, or a 9/11 conspiracy. The greatest portions are those about Ernie Adams, a man who the article goes onto suggest is a mob-inspired mystery man who does mob kingpin Bill Belichik's bidding and nobody understands:

Adams, a mysterious Vietnam historian, has untold wizard-like knowledge of football according to disgraced quarterback Tom Brady:
Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and a professorial, quirky man named Ernie Adams were present. Adams was -- and still is -- a mystery in the Patriots building, a socially awkward amateur historian of pro football and the Vietnam War who often wore the same red, hole-ridden Patriots sweater from the 1970s. He had a photographic memory, and Brady once said that Adams "knows more about professional football than anyone I ever met."
Adams -- rumored to be a billionaire -- is hired for a mysterious role, of which nobody understands, but it is said he made his fortunes playing the stock market in the 80s.
Adams' title was football research director, the only known person with that title in the NFL. He had made a fortune in the stock market in the 1980s, and the joke was that the only person in the building richer than Adams was Kraft.
Adams is apparently the 2nd in command in La Cosa Nostra:
When Bill Belichick became coach of the Browns in 1991, he hired Adams to be a consigliere of sorts.
Adams would do all of Bill's dirty bidding
Adams did whatever he [Adams] wanted -- and whatever Belichick wanted
Mysterious anonymous source suggests Adams and Belichick are tax fraudsters:
"You'd want Bill and Ernie doing your taxes," says a former Patriots assistant coach. "They would find all the loopholes, and then when the IRS would close them, they'd find more."
Adams is secretly brought into the inner circle of NFL secrecy:
The only people involved were a few coaches, the video staff and, of course, Adams.
Adams, Belichicks most trusted friend who would do
whatever Bill wanted was placed in the central role of Bill's nefarious plans:
Belichick, almost five years after being fired by the Browns and fully aware that this was his last best shot as a head coach, placed an innovative system of cheating in the hands of his most trusted friend.
