..and return their number 1 draft pick? That is the only way the humiliation of the NFL by the Pats is going to cease. Tomorrow the Pats will blow out their remaining "rival" and there will be nothing between them and a very embarrasing meeting with Goodell handing over the trophy to "cheater" BB at the SB except his submission. In the meantime, every score will be an embarrasment to the NFL . Isn't it better if Goodell admits his mistake now and appeases the monster for the good of the game?

No, he should not apologize. I like things just the way they are.

Brady to Brown

Belichick made a mistake. Then Goodell made a bigger mistake. I don't want him to apologize. I am enjoying this to much.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

The Pats have three more teams to really humiliate; Steelers, Eagles and Jets. I think Ben Rothlesburger said something about the Pats knowing their signals as well as McNabb and Westbrook. In fact, remember when McNabb joked about getting his ring back? As far as the Jets are concerned, that will be a fun game to watch.

To answer the question, Goddell should give back the draft pick because every team cheats one way or another. That's the way life is and Goddell should get used to it. But Goddell won't give back their draft pick because that would cause a league uproar.

I HAVE thought that that could possibly happen, particularly in light of reports I heard promoted (didn't see the actual story), that Pacman Jones was getting his suspension reduced.

I would like to think that Goodell could respond something to the effect that after further review he has come to the conclusion that the situation got whipped into a frenzy by outside parties and the Pats were punished too harshly for a simple rules violation.

Considering the precedent set by the penalty given to the Broncos over their salary cap violations which actually affected the play on the field, the Pats penalty should be reduced to a #3 pick.

THAT, would be much more reasonable.

The severity of the penalty I think led people to believe that the infraction was much more severe than it was, just as if someone is given a life sentence, then the assumption is their crime was particularly egregious.

The Pat got caught jaywalking, not driving 90 MPH through a school zone as students were walking to school.

Until the end of the first quarter. After that it'll look like Joe Pesci getting wailed on with a baseball bat in Casino then rolled into a shallow grave and buried alive.

That game will be the proverbial car accident you can't help but rubberneck at. Mangini will make a nice DQ for some CFL team.

Should he??? Yes..considering how dumb a mistake it was absolutely!! On further review....BUT the league would be in an uproar and there would be more foodder for all the talking heads. Should he apologize in private?? NO....that is not accepted at all...he embarrassed the Patriots quite in public and left them out on a limb while every Patriot hater took shots at them left and right. I think Goodell SHOULD be embarrassed totally by it all...and a public embarrassment of Goodell might be just the thing...F*** HIM!!
