Halo

Euphoria,

I disagree to a point but on a separate issue. I personally feel a scheme was in place and I'm ready for this punishment to come and pass and for the organzation to move on.

Was there a bounty scheme? Yes I think they're was.

Did the punishment fit this crime? No, I can only go by what is "precident" for this commisioner and that's "Spygate" to the best of my knowledge.

Is ordering your players to do harm on others on the field, a matter arguably normal practice in the sport, as severe as CHEATING by puting a video camera on opposing teams leading to a game?

That's the question I ponder.

The message sent was this: if you're found guilty in the NFL, NEVER admit to the accusation because you'll get off with a slap on the wrist (a la Bilichick)

If you stand up and admit the wrong you will be punished to the n'th degree, up to losing your job and jeopardising your season.

If you don't think there will be reprocussions because of this foolishness you're out of your mind.

NEVER will a player or Coach stand up (man up) to a wrong committed ever again... why admit to it when you can deny it and get away with practically MURDER.
