If I were Ross id set up train horns all over the godamn stadium and pump them right into Brady's ear twice a year . What the hell is going on with this league ????
 
if you do it to the Patriots it will be a first round pick and that pick will go to NE.
 
They could hand them out to the crowd for the Pats home game.
 
If a team who made the playoffs did this they would have been punished severely . I think that's dumb , they should have came down with a severe penalty. It was cheating and should have been treated as such .

Guys ****ing cheat and it's a joke , we have one loser who says he's getting " bullied " and I have to put up with it all over the godamn news and radio for 4 months . Fcking assholes

For some reason the thought of Brady having his ears blown off by train horns makes me lol

And no draft picks lost (not that it would have made a difference with Ireland). Not sure what that has to do with anything. Probably time to get over it. It's not like that incident cost us a shot at the playoffs :lol:

I'm not going to get overly worked up about the Falcons thing. On the scale of cheating techniques, it's quite a bit lower than manipulating game balls and videotaping opponent signals, IMO.
 
If the underlying rationale was that it didn't help them win, then that's just wrong. It's the intent, not the execution that counts. It would be like doling out a lesser penalty to an armed bank robber who was apprehended before he can make off with the loot than to one who gets caught weeks later. Ridiculous.

I don't know man, from what I've been reading on here, those mid-to-late round picks are gold. :lol:
 
This light punishment for the falcons is just Goodell setting up the patriots for a light punishment for deflategate.
 
Though the league deserves some credit for following through on these matters, the punishments given to the Falcons and Browns—for playing artificial crowd noise during a game and for impermissible texting from the owner’s box to the sideline—are clearly timed to the teams’ benefit, beginning with the announcements. Revealing the penalties during last week’s owners meetings would have caused some degree of embarrassment to the club executives in front of their peers; the league spared them by waiting until this week.

Regarding the Falcons’ discipline, the NFL took the rare step of calling out the club employee directly responsible for the piped-in noise, the now-fired marketing director Roddy White (I know, what are the chances?), who faces suspension should he return to the league. Team president Rich McKay, who is ultimately responsible for the team’s adherence to league rules, was also found culpable even though he was unaware of White’s actions. However, the politically connected McKay is able to operate without interruption for the Falcons, facing only a suspension from the league’s competition committee. And that suspension commences now, after the committee’s busiest month and McKay’s presentation at the meetings. The committee’s only key date during McKay’s suspension, which lasts through June, is the owners’ meeting in May. Thus, in practical terms, McKay has a one-day suspension.

Similarly, the four-game suspension given to Browns GM Ray Farmer commences at the start of the season—right after the team roster is set—and not when he is in the most pivotal part of his calendar. Further, the NFL imposed no penalties on those above Farmer in the Browns organization who are ultimately responsible for adherence to league rules. Farmer, of course, was improperly texting from the owners’ suite.

The timing of these suspensions should warrant the attention of the NFL players’ association. While player suspensions affect the labor force during the most crucial time of year, these management suspensions appear calculated to mitigate disruption and appease team owners. If this logic were to hold up, shouldn’t players serve suspensions during the offseason?

The NFL's blatant admission that the corrupt govern the guilty is starting to become amusing.
