1. Wboever was official overseer of footballs post ref review...fired...or let em rat out one responsible for directed nefariousness & let that person be fired. Consequences need to be personal.
2. NFL will fine Patriots, but since nfl boss is pals to Pats boss...will be but a slap on finger
3. NFL wont go route ... but would be in order to make Pats lose home playoff advantages next 1-2 times reach playoffs. Pats cant be trusted with basic sportsmanship
4. Rewrite rules. Immediate consequences if found during game ... like in baseball, a second illegal bat can lead to a mgr tossed...
I am tiring of this line. Anyone remember the playoffs last year, a denver receiver illegally picked a patriot defender. The NFL came out with a statement saying it was a 'bang-bang' play and stood behind the officials. In slo-mo, it was obviously an illegal hit. Instead of the league saying 'it was close, but it was an illegal pick and should have been called' they stood by their men in black/white hats...
I wish this simple point would put this meme to rest, but I know it won't. And some, in spite of simple video evidence, will still argue this point. And continue to point out how the nfl favors the pats.
