This sort of violation is unprecedented as far as I know. But Goodell has laid the hammer down so many times already. I don't see why he would deviate from that approach in this case, unless of course he is also in bed with Bob Kraft and Bill Beliscumbag.
Pacman Jones suspended a year for conduct detrimental to the league for OFF the field incidents. Micheal Vick suspended indefinitaly for conduct detrimental to the league for OFF the field incidents. Bill Bellichick should at least be suspended for a year for conduct detrimental to the league for his ON the field conduct. His conduct has far greater impact to the game than either of the above. His actions takes away the intergrity of the game. Time to talk to my son about the New England Asterisks.
BB should get a life time ban from the NFL. This is simply a complete rip off of every one in the stands on Sunday, any one who paid extra for NFL ticket and all the sponsors of the games. BB should be done today.
I agree a one game suspension of even a 4 game suspension is not enough. He should be suspended for the rest of the year at the very least. Plus a 1st round pick next year.
BB will deny knowledge of everything. Unfortunately I dont see him getting suspended unless they can prove that he handled any video (fingerprints?). I say forfeit, draft picks, and fine the hell out of cheap ass Kraft.
bellishithead should be suspended for 4 games just like the people who cheat and do roids. they should also geta huge fine and lose all the draft picks for enxt year id love to see a forefit but ti wont happen you really need to anil these guys. i havent seen alot about them stealing our radio signals yet. but if thats true how can you not take the win form then knowing what we are going to do offensively and defensively how can you say that game wouldnt of been different???/
i also didnt think about all these guys suspeneded for off the field activites. its truly a disgrace. i paid 1200 for 4 tickets to watch some guy cheat its bull shit hit him hard
It'll be really interesting to see how Goodell handles this...I love how he has handled actions towards players... Now it's time to target an organization who hurt the integrity of the game. A 3rd and 5th is nothing, that's a slap on the wrist...Belichick suspended at least 1 game and a 2008 1st rounder would be a nice start.
...and if Chad broke his ankle in a game where the Pats were CAUGHT cheating in TWO different ways you're OK with it? No biggie, right?
Really, this guy wants to fine a billionaire 50 grand. All the teams are owned by billionaires, so where exactly is the incentive NOT to do this if the punishment is a few bucks. 28Martin is the one living in fantasyland if he thinks that is all that is gonna happen after we've seen the iron hand of Goodell in action already.
Force BB to adopt the Mike Nolan dress code for an entire season. I'd give it 3 games before he was fined for trying to wear a cut-off sportcoat. 6 weeks before his head explodes.
