It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The easy answer is no.Is it possible for Goodell to say that he feels the Patriots weren't punished enough and take away our SF pick as well now that it looks so good? Or is it written in stone that he can't do such a thing? With how much of a prick he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to pull a move like this.

If I recall he said that as long as no evidence of new "wrongdoings" came forward the case was closed. I don't think he'd do anything because, IMO, he wants the whole thing to go away. It's not good for the NFL product.
I agree to bring up spygate now would be a dumb move. He said that it was over so lets move on.
Maybe he'll instruct the officiating crews to make every questionable call go against the Pats...oh wait that's already happening. Never mind.
The easy answer is no.
But if you want the answer that is indisputable, when he punished us with the #1 taken away, it was "non playoff protected". We lose our #1 if we make the playoffs; our #2 and #3 if we don't make the playoffs. So if we had collapsed and not made the playoffs we wouldn't have lost a high #1; Goodall set it up that way so it's clear that we would never have lost a top 20 pick in any circumstance.
Just my thought but I think a #1 pick was taken not because of the filming of the Jets coaches but the arrogance of being told 4 days before the season began not to do this and they went ahead and did it anyway. It was message to the rest of the league and yes they all do it or did. Not one player or coach has come out and explained how this was such a advantage not one even the ex coaches. All Goodell did was potentially condemn the rest of the league to the Pats running away with numerous Superbowls.

Why is he a prick..? Because he punished the Patriots when they were caught violating the rules...?Is it possible for Goodell to say that he feels the Patriots weren't punished enough and take away our SF pick as well now that it looks so good? Or is it written in stone that he can't do such a thing? With how much of a prick he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to pull a move like this.
Nothing is written in stone, but he'd sure start losing a lot of credibility fast if he did that.Is it possible for Goodell to say that he feels the Patriots weren't punished enough and take away our SF pick as well now that it looks so good?

Explain it once more, please. You say playoff teams DO NOT pick after non-playoff teams? How is that? Can you give an example of a playoff team whose pick was before a nonplayoff team?I think my fix is a little closer to the truth. . . .
I understand your point, but as I have stated numerous times on this board, playoff teams are not automatically "stuck" with picks in the bottom twelve.
