Wow. vacating or saying "time served"? Guess the coaches are still banned because they are in trouble for lying?

that year in the playoffs their whole game plan was knock out the other teams QB,,,they put Warner out of the NFL and did their best to knock Farve out there were a lot of cheap shots in those 2 games

And yet, other than sitting out some games they'll have no long-standing repercussions. Had someone in the real world provided rewards for disabling or hindering the competition, they'd be sued at best and in prison at worst.

And the coaches are being punished, but the players following orders aren't. That is my take.

I can agree with that. Unless the players lied when asked, then they should be punished.

I don't know how many games any of them missed and I don't really care,what it did do was bring this type of play out into the open it's happened before it just wasn't put under the microscope until now and now maybe it won't happen at this high a scale again

Goodell will keep his job, but he shouldn't. What essentially happened was he fucked this shit up so bad his former boss had to come in and fix it. How could anyone take him seriously now? Imagine you're at your job and the guy who previously had your job came in and took care of jam you'd gotten into. Would any of your co-workers respect you? Would you even have a job? Nope.
