Patriots .. spygate II

[Tugg Speedman]

I think you are way overstating this.  In the end, even if Brady would have been suspended, it was largely a slap on the wrist.  If Goodell and the league were truly interested in "crushing" the Patriots, he could have used deflategate as a reason to release all of the previous evidence and suspend Belicheck indefinitely if not ban him for life.  Because if true, his actions were way worse for the integrity of the game than Sean Payton's or Gregg Williams'.

So the $1 million dollar fine, and the loss of draft picks and suspending Brady for 4 games is a "slap on the wrist?"

And no they do not want Belicheck  indefinitely banned, they want him driven out of New England and then try and higher him.


Two days ago this ESPN story laid it all out, it'sl about getting even for Spygate.

Owners and others were disappointed that the NFL did not issue stronger discipline to the Patriots in the wake of the investigation over video taping opposing teams' hand signals. The ESPN report, in talking with owners, executives and others around the league, found that many inside the NFL view Goodell's tough stance on DeflateGate as a "makeup call" for how the league handled the Spygate.

Here is what you need to understand ... their is not such thing as "the shield."  It's 32 hyper-competitive killer sharks willing to do anything to win and kill their competition.  It's every man (owner) for itself.  That is what we like about football, it's war, next man up, do what it takes and all the rest. 

The owners are exactly like the players on the field.  So while league defenses are doing whatever it takes to stop Brady, the other owners will do whatever it takes to stop Bob Kraft.
