5 reasons why the NFL got Deflategate punshiment wrong

[eaglesnut]

So everyone thinks this Commissioner is an idiot, but the guys employing him won't fire him

Why is that?

Wait, why'd you change the discussion?

In conclusion: The teams earned the money.

Ray Rice punches his GF in the face ON CAMERA and gets 2 games. Nah, that doesn't shed any negative light on the NFL, either.

That obviously blew up in their face and got rectified. Maybe you forgot about the new harsher penalties for DV in the NFL. Rice served a year suspension and still hasn't been able to sign with a team.

You expect the NFL to make the same mistakes over and over and never learn from them? They should have not punished Brady just because they made a mistake on Rice?

 

[BoBlake]

If the league earned it, they'd have profits. The teams earned all of that. The teams are the product. The teams are what consumers spend for.

Well, they're paying taxes next year, so they're earning something.

And nobody WILL sign Rice, either. He's not worth the headache(and he didn't have anything left anyway). I'm just using the examples of Irsay and Rice to establish precedent with Goodell's recent punishments. PED cheats only get 2-4 games. In my opinion, Brady failing a drug test would have been much worse than this shit.

would you like some deer antler spray?

As bad as it sounds that your butt hurts, I think you may need some.

No, you are 100% mis-informed

I figured I'd hold your hand and walk you through it

Has nothing to do with integrity of the game

Pete Rose is banned for life

True...an owner should be held to a higher moral standard than a player.

Rose...Giamatti had a vendetta out on Rose after he didn't crawl on his knees for forgiveness and it got personal...Vincent was not going to be the one to touch it and Selig was never a real commish...just keeping the seat warm.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

No, Ray Rice now sucks at football

That's why he not worth the headache

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

So basically every penalty moving forward should be based off te huge Ray Rice mistake?

Makes sense

I don't disagree necessarily but no 10 year olds are wearing Irsay jerseys around Lucas Oil Stadium.

this is dirt.

FYI...he hates anything new england except for our city of boston and the women who move from here, to NYC.

 

[tnerb57]

Well, at least we're no longer debating how the weather could have lowered the pressure in these balls.

Or, is that still a valid argument?

I've always used weather as an excuse for the low pressure of my balls. And stuff.

Pats fans actually donating money to Tom Brady

Unreal

Absolutely unreal

Agreed...just falls along the line of YOU sir should know better...owners go thru a lot of checks, financial and to some degree character is a factor...can't let them run renegade once they get a team.

Of course not, but don't lose sight of the real issue: Irsay gets busted with a car full of drugs and admits a drug problem. He is fined $500K. Kraft is cleared of any wrongdoing by the report commissioned by the NFL and he he is fined $1M. Makes sense.

I'm just trying to figure out why Goodell is still commish if he sucks at it and apparently makes no money for his employers

our CEO sucks and he still has a job.

LOL...the New England Patriots were fined 1MM.

Kraft was not personally fined at all.

Don't let facts get in the way of your rage-gasm.

Your CEO is doing something right that you're missing
