Default New York Times writer calls for Belichick 1 year suspension

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/09/sp...0f&ei=5087%0A\

I find it interesting that Araton wants to punish Belichick for conduct that took place before 2006 - even though in his own article he makes clear that the NFL revised its policy that year - inferring that Belichick was not breaking any rules before then.

Araton (who kindly provides his email hjaraton@nytimes.com) wants Goodell to send a message.

A message of what? Suspending coaches for rules that didn't exist at the time?

I wish someone could send a message to the media that they should be consistent over these things. Jimmy Johnson admitted to the same thing as Belichick did - under the same pre-2006 rules.

I don't think I've heard one member of the media call for taking away the Cowboys Super Bowl Rings or putting an asterisk next to their season marks. And since they were all gung ho about finding teams that DID spy on practices and engage in filming, how come no outrage on their about how long this has been going on?

How is the Fans for truth campaign here coming along. We really need a generic email to send out to these morons.

What a low-life scum piece of sh1t!!

He is making it obious for everyone to see that he was HOPING Walsh had a tape. I guess people don't realize that doing that is un-American. In this country, we don't hope for the evidence to fit our wishes or the crime, we wait for the evidence and make up our minds.

Are people that effing stupid that when the evidence does not support an allegation, we then ask for MORE punishment on the original transgression?

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

I love Harvey's thought process. Since he was ignorant of what Belichick had been penalized for back in September, any new information discovered by him should result in new penalties to Belichick. It doesn't matter if Goodell already knew about it. It only matters what Harvey knew. How egocentric of him.

Really, it just shows that it doesn't matter what Walsh said or had for evidence. The Mediots just wanted another opportunity to hem, haw and spout their drivel no matter how little sense it makes.

I love all these articles.

Each one proves that this is really all about jealousy, hatred, revenge, and has nothing to do with logic and reason.

I sent him an e-mail ripping him for his total lack of a coherent thought process.

Media outlets like the NYT and ESPN have really made a cottage industry out of Spygate haven't they? Even PFT gets more message board responses for Spygate stuff than any other story. All these media outlets seem to be desperate to keep the Spygate controversy alive because it is good for business.
