What other reason is there to explain the paltry fines and one draft pick penalty they slapped (more like lightly touched) the Patriots with. No suspension for Bill Belicheat. They do know that the Pats have 2 first round picks next year, don’t they? Unreal. They lay the smackdown on all the players that commit crimes and on top of it Wade Wilson – a coach – gets suspended 5 games for taking HGH. But a coach on one of the NFL’s most visible and successful teams gets caught illegally acquiring a competitive advantage THAT HE WAS SPECIFICALLY WARNED NOT TO DO and he only gets fined a fraction of his salary? Where’s the punishment? Where’s the deterrant? This smacks of Bud Selig suddenly finding the moral high ground on steroids when Barry Bonds was about to pass his friend Hank Aaron in the record books.
Check out the bootleg footage that Jay Glazer “obtained” showing what exactly the Pats were doing.
…
Somehow Jay Glazer of FOX NFL Sunday (HT: Pro Football Talk) got his hands on the actual video footage of the Patriots recording the Jets defensive signals. The video shows the recorder panning back and forth between down and distance and the Jets defensive signals. It’s easy to see how this could benefit the Patriots down the road.
Pacman Jones must be turning over in his grave.
