Angst, not much else.
But then, do any of these threads "matter"?
I'm just awaiting the language of the NFL decree that makes it indisputeable that we lose our own pick, not the San Fran pick.
PFnV
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.
Well, the harsh punishment he gave is enough ammunition for anyone and everyone to claim that we did something quite serious to deserve such punishment and that there is more than that meets the eye.

Maybe I believe in conspiracy, but I think Goodell would want to avoid handing the Lombardi to Kraft and Belichick.
Guestionable calls in the playoffs, a few at first, and then more as the Pats proceed deeper to game 18 and 19.
Cable channels carry plenty of stuff. That isn't the problem.On top of that the FCC is doing something to make cable channels carry more stuff,
I believe Goodell addressed this specific topic, but I can't find a link.
In any case, though, taking the SF pick would be tantamount to saying, "We're out to screw the Pats."

In the pre-game before the Sunday Night game vs the Chargers, Bob Costas specifically asked the Goodell which pick the Pats would forfeit since it was likely the SF pick would be higher, and Goodell answered that it was the Pats' own pick.
Please. Posting troublesome facts just ruins inane conspiracy threads.
LOL, I hope you're right but I don't think there's a chance in hellMark my words. The Pats # 1 pick will be returned to them after the SB and before the draft.

True. But, do you remember the feeding frenzy from that week? If Goodell had only fined us a couple Gs and taken away a 5th rnd pick or something, it wouldn't have satisfied the craving the public desired. Also, Goodell had to make an example out of us. So I don't think the harshness of the penalty really tells us much about the gravity of our transgression.
