Re: Jets Fined 100K for tripping incident....
The rule about sideline placement is also in the rulebook/memo. Shrugs. Jets get off easy because Goodell can say, we didn't release a memo on it yet... The guy's simply a fink. It's pretty obvious he has a bias. But nobody can prove it definitively of course. But the results show that he goes a lot harder on the Pats and a lot easier on the Jets, 1st round pick plus money fine vs a money only fine.
Incorrect, Goodell specifically stated his punishment was for multiple years of violations, and the rule about camera placement is located in the operations manual. The memo that was sent out previous to the season was just a reminder about that rule, just like how Goodell has now sent out a memo about where people can stand on the sideline.
