No, He is a J-E-S-Ter, through and through.
Otherwise he would have punished the Jets for "Blockingate" with the forfeit of a draft pick. It was an organized attempt to alter the game by patently illegal ways on the coaching staff, just like and worse than Spygate.
Wrecks will be fined 2/5ths the fine that Bud Adams was fined for doing the same thing. Plus Wrecks effort was the Second not the First Offense.
That is blatant favoritism.
I applaud Goodells' attempt to address head injuries, and to remove use of the helmet as a weapon, but it is obvious that the correct solution involves removing the hard plastic shell, or burying it some softer material.
In regard to the orange shoes. I would much rather he issue a a requirement that hair be not visible outside the helmet. How you wear it or comply is not the issue. The players can pin it up or cut it.
There is no need for the players to look like Gorillas. That hardly adds to the League image, and can lead to serious injury. If a horse collar tackle is illegal because it is dangerous, then potentially breaking a player's neck pulling on or tackling by his hair, is dangerous, too. Witness the TD saving tackle of a WR by his hair, just this weekend.
Any Coach would get all kinds of grief if he insisted on it, but the Commissioner could and ought to do it.
