In addition to allowing NBC to violate his "no taping rule" and beam Brady's audibles to every D-Coordinator's Tivo, I find it interesting that Goodell's decide that there's to be no punishment in the Packers "bounty" case.
After yesterday's performance I think Brady should offer a cool $10k to each lineman for each game they keep his jersey clean.
Although that’s breaking a rule in principle, seeing as Goodell didn’t see fit to impose a fine against the Packers, that pretty clearly means its open season for everyone else.
In Brady’s case he’s got the disposable income to boost his lineman’s salaries to keep him clean – whether its $500 or $500,000 the principle is the same.
Richard Seymour just signed a new contract too – maybe he can kick in a few hundred thousand as an incentive to his lesser paid teammates for a perfect season?
Is that circumventing the salary cap? Sure – but Goodell doesn’t seem to mind or he’d have sent a message in the Packers case.
But why do I get a feeling if the Patriots tried this we’d lose another draft pick?
