I feel the NFL is operating under its own variation of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy these days... As in, don't ask us to do anything, and we won't tell anyone anything, ever.Good question. A full day and a 1/2 has gone by.
I think with the league itself taking hits with the Rice, McDonald and Peterson situations, Goodell under fire the Suh situation and the NFL Playoffs kicking up, I suspect the league will do everything in its power to move the story to the offseason and eventually to the back page of the Boston Phoenix.
I'm getting a chuckle from reading the morons in the PFT comments who think this wasn't tampering at all and outraged that the Pats are pursuing this because spygate.

I'm positive they don't really care to do anything about it and unless someone raises a stink over it, Like the Patriots, (cause the really dont give a damn what the fans think as has been shown time and time again) they won't do anything.
I really don't see how Goodell can ignore this, even though I think the tampering rule is silly.
For Goodell it's all about perception and when an owner openly tampers so blatantly Goodell has no choice but to have some sort of a fine/compensation (the reason why the Spygate response was so harsh was public perception - which Goodell himself sadly exacerbated)
Woody just openly drove up Revis' asking price and Goodell needs to acknowledge that - or just say its open season for open tampering (the truth is we know that agents and GMs will of course discuss whatever they want in private, and every agent has a good idea of the market for every player)
Actually, the Jets had a cameraman on the sidelines during their game with the Pats and people questioned the validity of that cameraman. The league swept that under the rug despite even Reiss running with it and pointing out the fact that it was a cameraman and in full Jet's attire. Not in league attire.That was the previous season. Mangini turned in the Pats cameraman in the first meeting of the following season for revenge.
Absolutely correct, if nothing is done despite the multitude of precedents and the previous warning to Johnson, then it promotes public tampering which I don't think the owners want since it drives up salaries.I really don't see how Goodell can ignore this, even though I think the tampering rule is silly.

They were sent a memo in late August right before the season started reminding teams they could no longer put their cameras in certain areas of stadiums. Belichick blew off the memo and Mangini let the jets know the Patriots were not following the new protocol.
That actually sounds reasonable. Revis is worth a top 5 pick and we'll settle for #6.

I didn't like your post either, but not enough to hit the dislike. Here it is;
Your "reasoning" is pathetic.
Just because they aren't good at what they do does not mean they are allowed to break the rules.
Most competent human beings learn that basic lesson before 4th grade.
I never like seeing anyone being insulted here.
"NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Feb. 18 stripped the Lions of their 2011 seventh-round pick (205th overall), acquired in a trade with the Denver Broncos, for publicly commenting on their desire to acquire players then under contract to the Kansas City Chiefs
Goodell's order that the Lions and Chiefs exchange fifth-round picks in the April 28-30 draft -- Kansas City receiving the round's ninth selection (140th overall) and Detroit the 23rd (154th overall) -- remains intact."

So if this gets swept under the rug by Goodell, his theory would mean it's not alright for a coordinator to do this. A person not even in a position to make a real offer. Now we have a case of an owner doing the exact same thing, which actually is worse because he named a specific player.
If it ends up being a slap on the wrist warning it only lends credence to his ineptitude to lead the largest sports industry in the country. If Woody and his Jets are not sanctioned at least as harshly as the Lions were I would be pissed if I was the Ford family or a Lions fan. If this is gets swept under the rug, Goodell should be fired. Of course he won't be, but it's another stain on his already severely tarnished track record.
It will be yet again another shining example of the lack of integrity from the leagues highest ranking employee.
