Not a member on any Pats boards - thats for the Cap dudes.
Back to why we are one and done and whining about why Giants suck and Pats cheat and are lucky 18-0 NFL/ESPN/MAFIA/Wall Street/Officials fixing all games bastids.
We need to do some introspection - JMO
I dont care what you sya its obvious as the sun is bright that you pander to the Pats. You live in the hub and I dont know if its listening to WEEI or what but you defend them at every turn.
Bottomline here is that the commisioner acted in a manner as if he had something to hide and because the players union is impotent and the owners capitulate there is absolutely no oversight.
Spectre is within his rights as head of the judicial committee to provide said oversight and if he has to use the exemption as the club to force the issue so be it.
Outside of the hub its pretty much a universal accepted fact that in light of Gooddell's statement upon entering office that the punishments in his regime would be more harsh across the board and that league employees would be held to a higher standard than the players. Well he sure hammered the players arbitrarily which in retrospect jives with what he was saying.
What happened with the Pats is a much lesser punishment in comparison to any other metric. Belichek who was scapegoat received a fine which is much lesser thatn the monies that any of the players he hammered lost and as an organization the first round draft pick whereas the previous regimes policy for cheating the salary cap was a loss of two first round picks and a year suspension.
With the players the suspension is more whereas with the clubs themselves the suspension is less. To top it off the evidence is destroyed and it doesnt take a rocket scientist that this reeks of collusion.
Its not as if this is a witch hunt and its not as if there is no reasonable cause for suspicion. The Pats broke the rules and obviously we cannot fault them for being given a light slap but quite frankly it stinks.
And you can keep parroting that every other team does it but at the end of the day there is no evidence of this going on with any other club other than innuendo and if anything more than innuendo should arise then that club deserves whats coming to them even if it is the Cowboys.
That is not something that is an excuse and quite frankly its the type of thing yo hear from children attempting to get out of trupbe. "Well Frankie down the street does it all the time.'
