ESPNews: Goodell issues statement: "Pats violated league policy"

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

This is beyond stupid for the Pats to cheat like this.

You could of still kicked our ass with out having to cheat. Or maybe not, now we will never know who should of won on Sunday becuase the Parts cheated.

Not one score, not one play, of last Sunday game can count towards anything now because the Pats cheated.

You guys will be forever living this down, tainted the whole "Dynasty". Morons!

LOL..I guess the truth hurts eh guys?

The league will not tolerate an organization that cheats, especially when Belichek has used these methods before.

Kind of sad for the game really. This great championship team, but this takes winning at all costs a little far.

Shame.

Is it as sad as handing us a playoff game victory then whining about it for over 6 months, eh? You hoser

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

WOW, I am very dissapointed in the New England Patriots coaching staff right now. Will be right there rooting them on on sunday no matter what.

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

as per john clayton on espnnews it could possibly be a 2nd round pick but its his speculation

Nope, everything will still count. Seriously, check the stats tomorrow, or Thursday, they'll still be the same. Losing teams' fans always have a reason why their loss didn't count, the records know better.

Give them a 2nd and let's move on

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

I think this whole thing will motivate BB and co to prove that this wasn't the reason for the thorough beating the Jesters took on Sunday. I expect them to come out motivated the rest of the season. I wonder what the Jets excuse will be when we beat them by 40 next time we get together? Should be interesting.

In terms of what they did, I don't care. The fact that they'd been warned and kept doing it, I can't understand that.

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

Clayton is always wrong i don't think a second BB will smooth this over speaking with Goody boy and at the worst will lose a 3rd or 4th which I can deal with a Second or first suspension or forfeit will make me pissed.
The funny thing hear is living in Eagle country I will hear about this all the time and you know what I like adversity so I will proudly rock my Patriots jerseys no matter what is said by people.

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

There is no possibility of a forefeit

The NFL has no provisions for after-the-fact forfeits, it's never happened in the history of the league. That one's a non-starter.

A suspension is also a non-starter.

The only possibilities on the table are fines and a loss of draft picks.

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

Well, if the team needed a way to use the "us against the world" thing this year.....

Your just a classless Jets fan. Who cares what your opinion is.
Have a nice day

Re: ESPN NEWS just said Goodell...

Draft picks or and/or a fine doesn't seem like a just punishment. Forfeting the win over the Jets and/or suspending the head coach is more just.

I think you would all feel that way if a team was caught red-handed in your stadium on your sidelines cheating.

said in a statement that he believes the Patriots did violate league policy in videotaping the Jets defensive signals.

We did the same thing against the Packers last fall and we were warned and probably have done it other times, too. Whoever is responsible should be fined or fired, even if it's Belichick. This is pretty ridiculous. Is John Dean a team advisor?

Re: ESPNews: Goodell issues statement: "Pats broke rules"

The wait is over Joisy boy!!

Patriot fans seem to think that LT joking with reporters about Patriots cheating is going to be some big bad bulletin material.

The Chargers have been looking forward to this game for 6 months.

I guess LT was right though wasnt he? Keep whining about how the NFL Man of the Year Award winner isnt classy because he ackowledged the Patriots cheat.

This isnt the first time teams have called out the Patriots. it is just the first time a Commish with some backbone is going to do something about it.

Bad weather, rough field, time of day..I'll think of somemore.

Seriously, some of my fellow Jets fans are jumping on my case because I am of the opinion that this tape business is really not a factor...it cannot explain the terrible offense and lack of coverage on special teams.
