5 reasons why the NFL got Deflategate punshiment wrong

[BoBlake]

The guys that actually did it should be suspended, too.

They were/are, indefinitely.

They were. Open ended, too.

 

[Dude]

I'll keep it simple for you.

The Owners have teams that make money. The league doesn't have profits.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Kraft get's fined 1MM and would have to pay it after taxes, and it would end up being close to 1.5MM in earned money to pay that 1MM fine.

Rich people don't pay taxes. Rock told me.

They were/are, indefinitely.

They were. Open ended, too.

I was fuckin' ninja'd!

 

[Rock Strongo]

Rock, you're really reaching here aren't you.

The team gets fined 1MM and is able to write it off as a business expense. There are probably 3 dozen tax loopholes that they can benefit from.

Kraft get's fined 1MM and would have to pay it after taxes, and it would end up being close to 1.4MM in earned money to pay that 1MM fine.


Kraft LOVES that the TEAM is fined and not him personally.

ok, but its krafts money.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Rich people don't pay taxes. Rock told me.

just not enough.

 

[BHF]

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'll let you hunt out the operative word in the first sentence, and then ask you if Kraft is going to pay the fine out of his own account, or the Patriot's operating account.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Drugged out owners don't impact the game. Bounties, roiding, and modifying equipment after it's been checked do. 4 games is right, same as a positive PED test.

what about adderall?

what about adderall?

Brandon Browner was clean (probably?) when he helped you win the SB. You don't need to apologize for his mistakes anymore.

what about adderall?

How you holding up, Rock? Don't take nay crap off these guys. You are a CBS-trained troll. Show em your skills. This place is lik romper room compared to CBS.

 

[SilverFalco8]

What I don't understand is why isn't Belicheck getting suspended?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Actually the Pats specifically mentioned that yesterday:

We recognize our fans’ concerns regarding the NFL’s penalties and share in their disappointment in how this one-sided investigation was handled, as well as the dismissal of the scientific evidence supported by the Ideal Gas Law in the final report.

You would need Ice Bowl conditions?

what about adderall?

True True if the refs took adderall they would have noticed the illegal balls : rant:

The price of his 3 Games to Glory IV DVD just went up. I'm sure of it.

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.

I don't know you, so I can't tell if you are joking. But I am going to HOPE you are.

 

[chappee11]

Could his agenda be that he (or perhaps more likely, his boss) knows that if you write a pro-Brady/pro-Patriots article right now, that every Patriots fan online will be copying and pasting the link as you've done above?

Everyone's got an agenda, son.

The Patriots have a lot more haters than they do fans. It's pretty easy math.

 

[PolarVortex]

What I don't understand is why isn't Belicheck getting suspended?

For what?
