BelliDICK press comments

[bern_baby_bern]

I can't shake the feeling that little to nothing comes out of this.

Let's be real. The NFL is so lacking in integrity that had the Colts not physically filed a complaint, nothing would have come of this at all despite the NFL saying they were already proactively monitoring the situation.

I've said it before; it would be appropriate, especially this season, for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

I don't know I think Goodell is a goon, who' s only out to make himself look better. When Suh stepped on Rodgers, and the tapes were obvious, the fkr Suh was watching his feet on the 2nd step, and lied flat fkng lied. His feet he could not feel. My ass, he wouldn't be able to run if he couldn't fee his feet.

Just a case of another Goodell wanting to look good, yet lacking the balls to take Proper Actions.....yet, lets see the rest play out....1st...!

Claims he had no knowledge of the deflated footballs. On the questions afterwards he was extremely evasive with his repeated response of, "I told you everything I know". and "I have no idea".

He's just as innocent as mr paterno....

Honestly your honor I was cutting her hair & the scissors just slipped.

I'd prefer, Honestly I was only giving Bill a shave with the straight edge, and I swear we had an earthquake, since the razor slipped severing Belediks neck....!

...as far as I know, they can't do that...the penalties are already outlined...but it's obvious that some people might want Coach B beheaded.

Penalties in the NFL shift like public opinion...ask Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.

Good points Tom but I still think the punishment (assuming there even is one) will be very little. But with that said with there 2nd controversy The'll become the most hated team in the NFL. If they're not already.

...not saying it won't happen but unlike cheating, I don't believe there's a provision for specific penalties for knocking out your GF in an elevator or beating your child so badly it leaves welts on him.
...there's a difference in breaking the rules of football and committing an actual crime.

 

[Rick2583]

Rice & Peterson are paying for there stupidity & I'm hoping Brady & BelliDICK don't get away with this.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ I'm thinking one of two things happen;

1. The NFL decides theres not enough proof and lets them off with a hand slap.

2. The NFL decides that there is enough proof and hammers them hard.



...the question here is not whether or not the Pats needed to cheat to win, it's whether or not they cheated period.

 

[Rick2583]

Sadly I think this may go down the same way spygate did.

Isn't there specific compensation for winning these games? Altering the course of events technically is fraud.

 

[yankeesince59]

...well, it's a matter of perception, IMO...as to whether how long they may have been doing it and how much it actually benefits them...besides, I don't think the NFL wants this to drag on any longer than necessary for PR reasons...just a guess.

 

[Rick2583]

The thing though Ron is that NOBODY believes him.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^what tote and I are talking about is not whether or not they're guilty...it's about how far the penalties can go and how far Goodell is willing to go if the league decides to sanction them.

 

[totus44]

Commish does have some catchall punishments, but I agree not sure if Goddell wants to open that can of whoopass. Worst case I could see....either suspension of Brady and/or Bellicheck for the stupid bowl. They'd have to have some serious blowback to go there. More likely to see suspensions next year, fines, loss of draft picks. Similar to the Payton scandal in NO....just my guess.

Wasn't Peyton suspended for the year? And if Goodell goes that route does it fall on Brady, BelliDICK or both? The fines are a given. And perhaps draft picks.

 

[totus44]

Can't see where Payton was accountable and Bellecheck isn't....

 

[bern_baby_bern]

As far as Belichick either BSing or not really knowing, ignorance is no excuse (see Payton). Coach is accountable for it happening under his watch, and considering how detail oriented they say this guy is, I have a hard time believing he didn't know this was being done.

 

[Rick2583]

And like I said Brady handled the ball 50-60 times a game, I'm sure he noticed also.
