Hey Arlen, How about you do your job?

kidxxa,

So you don't care about what happened in football. That is your perrogative. I however do. I concur with a decision to have futhur review. Yes, it will cost money. Yet, it also will provide income to whomever is working on the case; members of the US workforce. So it isn't as wasted as you would presume. Also, just cause he looks at this incident doesn't mean he puts more value on it than others issues in the world. They are dealt with as well and certainly we spend far more money on those issues; as we should; and I'm sure if researched lots is wasted.  So let's stop pretending that spending money on NFL procedures is somehow preventing handling other issues or is somehow regarded as more important.

In the beginning, I felt these meetings with Walsh would be nothing more than what Bill Belicheat admitted to already.  Why was I so foolish?  BB said that all the tapes were not reviewed during the current game.  According to Walsh; the offensive player on the sidelines would get signals as to what is being called and that would be transmitted to the QB, during the same game.  So the idea of changing signals from game to game; isn't a solution to this problem.  It also proves the players were involved in the cheating.  At least some of them including golden boy, Tom Brady.  I guess now we knew how he knew the play before it happened.  It also means that BB lied; yet again.  Also, he apparently observed the taping of the Rams walkthrough.  Another BB lie.  The tapes may not show anything more than what was admitted to; but apparently Walsh's knowledge of the situation makes things more clear.  Who do you want to believe?  BB; the guy that has everything to lose.  Or Walsh, a guy that has nothing to lose and little to nothing to gain cept satisfaction from a former employer.  I think I'd go with the latter.

The Patriots should forfeit any SB won via cheating.  Meaning, if they cheating to get position, taped walkthroughs, etc....  They should in fact be penalized; as any team would for cheating to win.

Want to know who I feel the worst for.  The players that didn't know and the fans of the Patriots.  Not all the fans, just the ones that truly care about the integrity of the game and are now fully ashamed of their team and their mgmt.  I feel bad for football fans in general that care about the game and now see the Patriots as cheaters instead of a good group of hardworking teammates that defied odds. I feel bad for those folks who purchased Patriot gear and are now too ashamed to wear any of it.

There will always be fans like yourself who do not care about the integrity of the game.  That prefers closure and money saving tactics over truth.  That feels cause other issues are more important; any other less important issue shouldn't be addressed.  I just hope you are not in the majority.  Cause in this world, majority rules and truth should always be obtained.

For me, I blame BB for making a mockery out of the situation and forcing an investigation and waste of money and time that could be better spent cause he isn't man enough to take responsibility and tell the truth.  This is the type of person you are supporting if you fail to find the truth.  Blame Goodell for sweeping everything under the carpet to prevent embarrassment to the league.  Guess what Goodell.  It ain't getting better my friend.  Maybe, just maybe, you don't have the guts required to do your job.

Here is a fact for all you football fans, if there is an investigation into this, every team will be under investigation, not only the Patriots, and there will be many more teams that will have some black marks on their faces when this is all said and done. I just laugh because no one ever brings up the fact that the Broncos were deferring money in order to keep Elway and the 97-98 Broncos together, In my opinion, that is worse because if they didnt cheat the cap system, some of those guys would have had to be released, talk about cheating

Now for the really fun thoughts... Football is a game... the NFL supplies us with entertanment to watch this game. This game of football has rules. Rules were broken, punishment given. Remember, they are just rules... not laws that govern the state or society. There were no LAWS broken. Arlen is failing to understand this base principal. NFL has its governening people that review and apply punishments, its is not a body that is controlled by the government.  Let the commisioner do his job, he reviewed the tapes, we got caught, we got punished, and if anything new evidence comes up , we will be punished further. The national problems do not include the NFL.  Next thing you know they will start a judical commitee to see if instant reply violates the patriot act.

Its a game. Let it play.
