My biggest issue with this is with the Arbitrary Punishments that Goodell throws around....absolutely no consistency.
In 2006 the Jets get caught taping the Pats from a non-approved location and get fined.....Nothing
In 2007 the Patriots get caught taping the Jets from a non-approved location and get fined...$500,000 for the Team, $250,000 for the Coach, and the loss of First Round Pick
In 2014 the Carolina panthers got caught, on film, heating footballs during the game and got fined.....Nothing
In 2012 the San Diego chargers got caught hiding stickum in towels, and refused to give the towels to the refs, and they were fined.......$20,000
In 2015 the Patriots get accused of deflating footballs, a $10,000,000 investigation ensues, which determines that something might have happened and the Patriots get fined......$1,000,000 to the Team, loss of 2 draft picks, and a 4 game suspension for their Quarter Back
and for those saying that Brady is getting fined for not giving up his personal phone....
In 2010 Brett Favre is accused of Sexually Harassing another Jets employee by Sending pictures of his #^^^^& to her, he refuses to give up his phone and he is fined......$50,000
In 2015 Tom Brady is accused of having the footballs deflated a friggin pound, he refuses to Give up his phone and he is fined.....a 4 game suspension which amounts to $1,750,000
Goodell's Integrity is a friggin joke
