This will be very interesting, I mean... This is going to be really interesting. If he goes about this the wrong way, I can hear "racism" outcries all across America.

Goodell should just suspend Bill for the year to cover his own behind. LOL.

I can't wait to see how this turns out, especially with all this evidence coming out of the wood work.

Just heard on ESPN that the Patriots where given the following:

$250,000 fine
$500,000 fine to Belichic
1st round pick in 2008 if they make the playoffs taken.

I was hoping for the game to be switched or atleast that to count as a loss but I didn't think that Godell would have the gonad's to take a 1st round pick from them. I don't see them flunking the season for that pick.

Goodell is NOT messing around. He is sending a clear message and wants to protect the League's image.
No other team will think about doing this EVER again.
