Interpol alert: Broncos cheated?

So, let me get this straight:

According to the Denver Post today, the Broncos are being investigated by the NFL in an international spy case where they "allegedly" videotaped the 49ers' Saturday walk-through at Wembley Stadium before their Oct. 31 game in London ... using a video man who came with Broncos coach Josh McDaniels to Denver from New England ... where both were employed during Spygate ...

And still lost the game ...

Despite "allegedly" getting a sneak peek of the 49ers walking through key elements of their game plan ... which consisted of running Frank Gore inside a whopping 29 times ... and not letting third-string quarterback Troy Smith, you know, throw the ball until late in the third quarter.

In other words, the 49ers put together the most predictable game plan in all of Europe, intended to play it safe with a new starting quarterback, and the Broncos "allegedly" felt the need to cheat to figure that out?

Frank Gore up the middle. Who knew? And was Interpol "asleep at the wheel" on all this? (That last one was a joke. We'll be here all week).

(UPDATE: McDaniels has been fined $50,000 by the league office, per ESPN. Given the weak state of the dollar, I'd have been more impressed if he was fined 50,000 pounds, given the location of the crime).
