I tried to tell ya'll this commissioner was a *******....but did you want to listen? Nooooooo...
That's three fines for personal fouls. We're handing out suspensions for that now. Wait, we're not? What? Wilfork's case is different why? He's been fined twice for plays that could be construed as intent to injure, and now he sticks his finger right in Jacobs eye and is simply fined? It's not like Wilfork hasn't gotten away with plenty of knee -dives that he had the good-fortune of not injuring the opposing QB, and thus avoiding the fine.
Here's the
play that knocked Losman out for a few weeks. There are plenty more of those plays in a Wilfork highlight reel - he makes a habit of launching himself at the knees of opposing QBs. But no injury=no fine.
So please - "Goodell lovers" - defend your boy. This is exactly the sort of crap I warned you about when he was on his power trip in the offseason, when you couldn't see past the glory of him "cleaning up the league". Wilfork's fines have escalated just as Roy's have. These are all personal fouls. So how can Goodell justify suspending one player and not the other? Because one plays for New England? Is this the freaking NBA we're talking about here, where superstar players and teams are afforded luxuries that the other squads couldn't hope for? Heck, if that was the case at least we as fans of an illustrious franchise could look forward to some breaks, but that clearly isn't the case.
Basically, this post is a big GD "I told you so." Quite a few of us took an enormous amount of ****, and were labeled as (to paraphrase) thug-lovers, Pac-Man's defense team, and any other amount of garbage simply because we warned that Goodell's inconsistency in doling out punishment could extend itself farther - and this is clearly another case of that happening. So where's your defense for Messiah Goodell? By all means, I'd love to hear it.
