I don't dispute that the Pats violated a rule and should have been punished. What I will never agrre to is that the punishment was fair and unbiased either in view of prior penalties meted to the 49ers and Broncos and subsequently to the Jets for tripping. Too bad Kraft felt that he was forced to support the biased POS for the good of the League rather than stand up for his team. I am still waiting for Goodell to finish his promised investigation of how the tapes were leaked during his possession. LOL
What happened 15 years ago is irrelevant. And for that matter so are unrelated instances like the tripping (where the guy responsible lost his job) or even taping in Denver (again where the guy responsible -Scar's idiot kid acting on his own initiative - lost his). You should take a page out of Bill's book.
"There's a lot of things that have happened in the past," Belichick said. "Really, the past is in the past."
We were punished as we were in large part to set an example. Same deal in NO to further underscore that example...
And as that link Joker chose to provide later stated, the JETS were taping something different and no one complained to the league about it. That is why if there is anyone I will forever hold culpable for what transpired here it is Mangini and Tannenbaum. They engineered the whole unfortunate incident, although Bill could have certainly avoided it considering how little significance he placed in the whole taping process.
