Would you mind rephrasing the question, please?
Your rant was quaint, but it had nothing to do with the topic at hand. No one suggested don't punish anyone that makes the league look bad. That falls under the promoting the league part of their mandate. Nothing you said goes against them having to come down hard on cheating, lying about cheating, and/or doing things against the league rules.

Of course, the NFL was trying to remain "consistent" when it gave Rice a 2-game suspension for a DV incident and then there was an uproar. People can't have it both ways.

That's because their domestic violence policy was completely out of touch with current sentiment. Their drug and PED policies are better with predictable and progressive penalties.

On the other hand (even if I am a biased and befuddled Patriots fan) their penalties on cheating and game integrity are unpredictable, knee-jerk and inappropriate half the time.

The same goes for penalties related to serious crimes. So they might have gotten Vick right with his horrible crime but they over-react to Ben R who while stupid and somewhat predatory didn't commit a crime. I don't really know what they are thinking most of the time.

Only surprise on this poll is the bacon lobby let us down and didn't at least double up the first option. :tsk:

Disappointed. The bacon people used to have a lot more passion for their position.
