"Everyone in our organization wanted Wes Welker back," Kraft told reporters. "Anyone who doubts that, or thinks we weren’t serious, just doesn’t get it. Like I’ve said many times, I really wanted Wes to be with us through the rest of his career, but it takes two sides to do a deal. I really believe in this case, his agents misrepresented what his market value was. When you come right down to the bottom line, he accepted a deal in Denver which is less money than what we offered him."

There you have it: Bob Kraft, serial tamperer.

Goodell will ban him from all team activities for a year.

Hopefully this just makes their punishment that more harsh.

The difference in the Pats and Jets statements along with the timing are plainly different. The Jets are dumb but I doubt they're dumb enough to honestly think they have point. They're probably trying to muddy the waters and mitigate the punishment coming their way.

IIRC there's something in the by-laws about throwing around obviously bogus accusations and filing frivolous charges. So I hope you're right.

Good Morning America, leading off in the news today......

Later in the program :Cat stuck in tree, brave idiots with nothing better to do save it......

I'm sure others have been much quicker on the uptake than me, but it's finally become clear to me: It wasn't just Rex or Tannenbaum or Mangini or whoever. All the anti-Patriots hatred, jealousy or ill feelings start with Woody Johnson.

A day after his tampering comments near the end of last year, Johnson said he called Kraft to apologize. A day or 2 ago, he said he wasn't concerned about the tampering charges. Then his team files tampering charges against the Patriots. This is a spiteful, petty person.

The question is, will Goodell see this for the desperate, mud-slinging that it is? Will he recognize it as another version of Westhoff's claim that the Patriots set up sideline tripping walls, too? A competent leader would. A competent leader might also tack on some additional punishment or, at a minimum, condemning statements about the Jets throwing around baseless accusations when they are the party in the wrong. It remains to be seen what Goodell will do.

It's funny. When I read Kraft's quote about Revis I thought, "wow, wouldn't it be funny if the Jets filed tampering charges"?

I find all this rather trivial and amusing.

Who is the bigger idiot, Woody for filing this joke of a charge of Mheta for thinking its the best thing ever?

The correct answer is.....


Yes

LOL! The coward Mehta let someone else get the byline on the article they just wrote, but it clearly came from him (he got a co writing credit at the end of the article). But it is clearly his article since it has his same stupid theory on Twitter that the League cannot punish the Jets without punishing the Pats. Here are some gems from his article (Sorry, Seth Walder's article written by Manish Mehta):

The Jets filing a charge could be a tactical move in addition to simple retribution. Should the league decide that the Jets ought to be punished for tampering with Revis, it would be harder to make that determination without also now reprimanding New England.

Some, perhaps including the Jets, have felt that New England's charge was both petty and needless, especially after Johnson quickly phoned Kraft that same day to apologize and assure the Patriots owner he did not mean to interfere. However, the league clearly is taking the matter seriously: the News previously reported the NFL sent an investigator to the Jets' facility on Sunday, March 8, to question front office members about the pursuit of Revis. That came during the league's legal three-day legal tampering period, but Revis was not a free agent yet because the Patriots had not yet declined the cornerback's 2015 option.

Seriously, who is Mehta kidding by giving someone else the byline on this article? It is clearly 100% his.

BTW, I wonder if the stupid theory that these charges make it harder to punish the Jets is Mehta's or is he parroting his Jets sources who think they outsmarted the Pats and the League.

And you're a biased, ridiculous Patriots fan asking for the league to hand the Pats the sixth pick in the draft.

I'm not the idiot here.

metha.. woody is just trolling the patriots and/or goodell, but that moron of a reporter thinks it's some type of genius move, I want to tell myself this guy cant be that stupid but it really appears that he can't figure out the difference between the tampering and the trolling. How the hell did this dumbass get a job as a reporter?

All of a sudden a swap of seconds and loss of first seems all to reasonable.

This type of silliness happens when the ship doesn't have a rudder, it'll be interesting to see how Goodell handles all the balls in the air.
