It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It is the s3cond transgression in one season, after a written warning to cease and desist was delivered. I believe the precedent is loss of first, and one million in fines. This of course is on top of the swap of picks that has been standard operating procedure for this offense in previous years.The likely reason for waiting so long is that the issue is not very important. A minimal fine may happen or a minor affect on the 6th or 7th round of the draft (unlikely).
Given that there may be 10 or 15 teams legally tampering with Revis before his deal is effective, the issue of the owner's stupid statement is not a big deal, or at least shouldn't be.
conversely if the Jets do not sign Revis can they argue that there was no damage to the Pats & therefore no compensation due?
I think it's more complicated than that. Remember, it was Johnson who, according to all reports, told Idiotzik not to try to sign Revis because Woody's feelings were hurt over how things had gone when Revis left the Jests. This kind of statement can easily be construed as a blatant attempt to send the message that things will be different this time.Come on, Woody Johnson is just an idiot. They are not going to stop them from being able to go after Revis if he becomes a free agent because their owner has Foot-in-mouth disease. It isn't like they went behind the Pats' back and contacted Revis or his agent. Woody Johnson just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.
Deflategate was a fraud and Goodell has realized that he is stuck with the exposure of a corrupt employee who was selling game balls on the internet and an overreaction by a former Jets employee on his staff to a complaint by a sour grapes GM.
That too.Once again, not to be a picky little complainer BUT..."former Jet employee " is about as vague and vanilla in its description that I MUST INSIST that more must be added.

Correspondingly, Mike Kensil worked in the same role for the Jets for 28 years before moving to the league office. He was in New York for Bill Belichick's infamous "one day reign" over the team before departing for New England. Kensil was fired in 2006 by former Belichick assistant Eric Mangini (all of this was noted by CSNNE reporter Tom Curran in a January column). The obvious implication in noting the ties to the Jets was that Kensil hates the Patriots (or, specifically, Belichick).
"I do know that Kensil has been agitating about footballs for months with the Patriots" Curran told WEEI's Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning. "He has been asking around about possible football manipulation for months, leading into this. So, it's kind of his white whale." Curran did add context that he's always heard Kensil to be "a good man," for what it's worth."
THIS person is THE scumbag that we've all been tortured by since 2006. THIS is the poisonous fruit of the NFL Offices tree. He MUST be brought to justice outside of the NFL arena in FEDERAL COURT. I will not rest until this smug, arrogant, elitist ex-Jet executive is tried, sentenced and incarcerated in federal prison.

Sorry to reiterate a talking point of mine for the last 8 years....but....it HAS BEEN a green rat operation all along, just like I said. In game sideline tripping, gluttonous displays of piggery tied to official NFL team "Between The Lines" segments, open displays of profanity on multiple occasion, unbelievably disgusting sexual deviancy allowed to be plastered all over the mainstream media that my grand kids can see and be influenced by...no problem...25K fine(if that) and "tut tut...can we give Coach Ryan some privacy?" uttered by the damnable-dell .
A Kensil orchestrated hit job that obviously has continued the past 8 years aimed DIRECTLY at the NEP and ONLY the NEP....million dollar fine, attempted destruction of the NEP's roster by tearing away a #1 pick...all THIS is 100% justified and reasonable, right?...My azz it is. I want VENGEANCE NOW.
There is so much tampering going on behind the scenes every year. If Johnson wanted to send this message, he would have just talked to Revis' agent.
I 100% believe this is Woody Johnson showing his only qualifications for owning an NFL franchise was that his grandfather was a business genius. Johnson is just an idiot. To think he is smart enough to send a message to Revis by blatantly tampering in a press conference after he already got in trouble for doing something similar in the past is giving Johnson too much credit for being calculating.
In a sense I agree, BUT, and it's a big BUT, just because Johnson wasn't smart enough to realize the implications of what he said, doesn't make the tampering less valid. But the key factor in what kind of punishment the Jets should get, is the fact that Johnson had already gotten a written warning about this with the calendar year.There is so much tampering going on behind the scenes every year.

Here's the one thing about Mike Kensi's actions I want explained in full. I want to know, WHY he reportedly re-inflated the supposed under inflated balls at half time, thus tainting the only evidence that would have conclusively cleared the Pats from any possible wrong doing.Once again, not to be a picky little complainer BUT..."former Jet employee " is about as vague and vanilla in its description that I MUST INSIST that more must be added.
