I was actually talking about media members. We were absolutely labeled as cheaters by the nation because of them, though I admittedly don't know how much impact they had on the actual punishment.
I never stated what "will" happen, but what could and does often happen when people lie publicly.
You think that what people say doesn't matter, and, I guess, that the laws designed to provide legal recourse against such are unnecessary. That's cool.
No, I didn't say what people say doesn't matter. I said what meatheads say doesn't matter. Big difference. These steroid popping meatheads say dumb stuff. Ty Law, Seymour, Bruschi, even Wilfork said some stuff. Tom Jackson: "They hate their coach." That comes from Tedy Bruschi popping off. It just doesn't matter.
The media prior to Goodell's punishment was universally signaling that the Patriots should have a 4th rounder taken away. Goodell was not cowed by the media at all. Had nothing to do with that.
