It's easy, and only takes a few moments.On Sports Tonight, that clown Hardy blamed it all on the Pats and said the Jets never tampered in the first place.As pointed out by Adam Jones, this could back fire in the Jets' face. If the league doesn't agree with them that the Pats' tampered because Kraft was talking about past when he was part of the team and when they were trying to get him to stay or when he was a free agent, they weaken their defense if they claim what Woody did wasn't tampering by filing this claim. Now they have to admit Woody tampered and hope the punishment isn't severe.
More like a two year old stamping his feet and screaming in a store cause he didn't get the toy he wanted.Yup, it's the NFL equivalent of making a crank call to 911.
The irony in all of this is that Tampering rules are put in place to protect the interest of the Teams and Team Owners. Players and agents, all things considered, love Tampering because it increases their earning potential and negotiating leverage. It's now to the point where the Owners themselves are the poor saps busy demonstrating to the world how ridiculous and unenforcible their own rules are. The NFLPA must be laughing their asses off at all of this.
I've always felt that the Jets were somehow going to get off with nothing more than a scolding, and this latest just makes it more clear how that will finally come about. If the league had intended to punish Woody for his comments in December, he would have been punished in December... not in March or April. As any good parent will tell you, you have to reprimand the naughty child immediately, not weeks later, or they will not learn any kind of lesson at all; and all the other kids watching from the sidelines will miss the point too.
With all the hemming and hawing, Goddell has put his office in a situation where there can be no productive outcome, other than escalating resentment. The only thing that's certain is that he has lost all control of his owners. The pigs have gotten into the corn, rats are chewing on the electric wiring and the monkey are throwing turds at each other.
