And Don't Do It AGAIN!

Roger Goodell, you’re a hypocrite!

A FINE for Belichick?
CONDITIONAL draft picks lost?
What a farce.

Wade Wilson tries to alleviate a diagnosed medical condition and he’s suspended for a quarter of the season.
Last time I checked, a QB coaches’ diet has no influence on the outcome of a game.

Belichik videotapes his opponents’ signals (which DIRECTLY influences the current game on the field AND future contests within his division), he pays a fine, and is allowed to continue to coach?

No way, Goodell.
For all your good intentions your reign as Commissioner is officially a travesty.

Belichick’s deeds have soiled the face of your league MUCH worse than Michael Vick’s criminal abuse or Adam Jones’ profound stupidity. I submit, Commissioner, that Belichick’s actions directly equate with those of Pete Rose, Paul Hornung or former NBA referee Tim Donaghy.

The very least Belichik deserves is a suspension from all NFL interaction for NO LESS than Wilson’s suspension,
preferably no less than Hornung’s,
and ideally identical to Rose’s.

I agree with the sanctions you’ve levied on the Patriot’s organization, as management’s complicity seems to still be of a debatable nature.
However, you’ve let the true criminal in this felony walk the streets and return to work with a slap on the wrist, and in so doing you’ve done NOTHING in the eyes of NFL fans to clean the stain he’s left in his wake.

Commissioner, you stated:
"This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid
longstanding rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest
competition on the playing field”
... but sign the check and be at work tomorrow morning anyway.

Mr. Goodell, your inaction represents a similar calculated and deliberate attempt: to side-step longstanding precedent, (including your own precedent), and to promote lip-service over true discipline.

Up to this point you’ve been a “hangin’ judge”, unafraid to sandblast the dirty toilets you’ve encountered.
With this disgrace, you’ve merely spritzed a little air freshener into a criminally foul and overflowing latrine.
