Default We all Need to Email the League, Here's a letter...

Ok so i am also a member of a poker forum (well im banned right now,..but anyways...) and on this forum the members often write letters to different state officials and congress people about the legality of online poker. Basically, someone will write a nice letter that everyone can copy and paste and send to their state official. Even a few people writing letters does make a difference.

That's exactly what we should do until the Jets are punished. I'll spare you all my feeling on this since we all agree it's B.S.



Here is the email i wrote to the NFL. I was thinking someone smart on here could revise it a bit and maybe come up with an email that we can all send.



Hi i was just wonder when the Jets will be penalized their 2nd and 3rd round picks.

The patriots were penalized a 1st round pick and a significant amount of money for "illegally" videotaping the Jets.
Now the Jets come out and ADMIT to taping the pats. They should be punished the exact same way the pats were punished. And since they won't be making the playoffs, that means a 2nd and 3rd round pick instead of a 1st round pick, along with a significant amount of money.

The Jets say that they had "permission" by the Pats to videotape but this shouldn't be a reasonable excuse. They violated the same league rule the pats violated and must be punished equally.

If not, i would really appreciate an explanation as to why.

I spend countless hours watching this product and spend a lot of my money on NFL merchandise and the NFL network. If nothing is done about this, its going to start looking like there are different rules for different teams in the league.

thanks for your time,


(let the ripping begin)

Any mailing address or email address available?

I do agree that with enough fan (customer) feedback on any issue, at some point the NFL would be compelled to respond or take further action.

It's not a bad idea, but my guess ex-Jets employee Goodell does zippo about this.

It doesn't matter now. You'd need a smoking gun, which is what the Jets had when they busted NE. Now videotaping is dead as disco in the NFL.

This is a moral victory for the Pats and their fans though - basically the whole NFL did the same thing - how can it be considered "cheating" then?

The Pats broke a rule, they aren't angels, but they aren't devils either.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

The smoking gun is Mangini's statement. It's enough for the NFL to demand the tapes from the Jets.

On a poker sight?

Poker guys bare a pretty focused bunch. I can see why they wouldn't want to talk football while they're talking cards.
