Goodell is ruining the NFL.
If Brady deliberately cheated then what do you think should happen to him?
Didn’t both teams play with the same ball? This is stupidity and insanity all rolled into one big pile of stink.
Goodell needs to go!
In this case, Goddell’s saving it. Cheating allowed to stand is what will ruin the NFL. I don’t think he needs a massive penalty, but definitely enough to reflect the fact that he purposely altered the ball illegally that is used throughout the game. Two games would be sufficient in my book. Maybe even one. No suspension would be favoritism of the worst kind.
The organization is what really needs severe penalties. Massive cash and draft losses. They are now repeat offenders. One could argue that Belichek deserves the same fate as Sean Payton. One year gone. Based on Goddell’s own words, ignorance is not an viable excuse. I would lean against that, but the precedent has been set.
That's like saying a judge who puts away a child rapist is destroying the public sector....Brady was involved in cheating and it was part of the biggest deal they have in the game.
How so?
Head injury driven rule changes?
Thank the old time vets who brought a class action lawsuit claiming NFL should have protected them better.
Hard discipline for off field transgressions?
The owners and TV networks want him to do that.
The fact that an integrity of the game issue now sits on his plate involving the biggest player and biggest franchise comes with the territory.
Pete Rozelle twice had to deal with big stars off field issues (Hornung/Karras suspended for a year for gambling, Namath almost so for ownership in Bachelors 3)so Goodell is going to have to suspend TB...I would guess 4 games.
Goodell isn’t the one who most likely altered game balls so don’t blame him for it, blame the Patriots.
