You could have 5 million but it will not outweigh the 31... it is the way the NFL world works.
That's because she would hit him with it for being such a d-bag..................I don't think Goodell would give his own mother her cane back if the entire nation petitioned him to do it
I respectfully disagree! This topic was NOT in the news when we started this campaign and in that time, we've worked hard to connectewith many high profile media types over the last few weeks, pushing the story of the complaint and reasoning the NFL needs to give back the picks. This is about strength in numbers, sending a message and it IS being heard...as evident by a call I received yesterday from Foxboro, which, shall we say, was nothing less than an rousing, appreciative endorsement for the effort. There is other 'stuff' that is going on behind the scenes that is off the record, but we are definitely being heard by at least some of the national sports media elite!
Some folks in Patriots Nation are right, legally, this may not go far, but it's definitely been instrumental in elevating the conversation the last 3 weeks and now, the returning of the picks is a national topic. (Don't underestimate the momentum we've gained and the work done behind the scenes to get in the ear of some influential sources). Jerry Thornton's article hit the nail on the head! Yes, this is a Hail Mary, but it's more about sending a message, loud and clear to the NFL that we're not rolling over that easy! The more support, the louder the message.
We'd love to have you on board, have all of Patriots Nation on board. That phone call earlier this week cemented it for me, this is a noble cause and the stamp of approval I received confirmed that the person who this impacts the most "is on board with it"...and I feel even stronger now that if he could do something about it without jeopardizing his standing, he would! That is enough for me!

I signed it for the hell of it. Although I didn't give my real address or email address. Why was that info necessary?

I signed it just so my conscience is clear. I think the petition epitomizes futility.
Petitions are pretty flimsy to begin with, but they have less value than ever because of the internet. There was a time when signing petitions required things like going door-to-door to collect signatures from people. That required concentrated time, effort, and manpower. Now, it's just about spending 30 seconds to generate one on a website. As a result, you see tons of frivolous petitions.No matter how many signatures, these petitions rarely ever accomplish anything
