All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Why is Belicheck not getting fired? or sued?

02-14-2008, 08:52 AM

Goodell told Specter that Belicheck has been taping games since 2000.

How many people lost their jobs due in part to losses to the Pats? Do they have the right to sue?

Why is Bob Kraft flipping off the hard working people in and around Boston by keeping a coach who has admitted to cheating?

How much money was in gambling, tickets, etc... over FIXED games?

This is a very big deal my friends.

Belicheck said he wasn't aware it was not allowed until they got pulled up for it

Ignorance is not a defense in court

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.

Ironically, that's exactly why I think not much will come of it.. It's TOO big a deal, the possible ramifications of their actions are endless, and the NFL is going to want this out of the headlines ASAP.

I hope the bastard is banned from the league permanently, but I honestly would not be surprised if NOTHING happens at all..

The sooner they suspend him, the sooner it will go away!

I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

I think that's the best we can hope for.. IF Goodell holds to his word and suspends Belichick for one season, it may very well happen.

I don't want Bellichick to retire. I want him and Brady to stay together and suffer through years of mediocredity in New England.

That would be much much better.

Re: Why is Belicheck not getting fired? or sued?

All those years of stealing and studing signals has probably made him an expert on the subject. He probably doesn't need to steal them anymore. After all Goodell said he distroyed the tapes so others couldn't view them. So, given the Pats organization has been stealing, viewing, studing, and disecting for years, I think they are at a huge advantage even without the camcorder.

The head should be cut of this monster just to make it fair again.

He must not be a genius, but an idiot savant.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Why is Belicheck not getting fired? or sued?

a couple questions
1) Why does it take congress putting pressure on the NFL for something to get done?
2) How is spygate the government's buisness?

1) Without a Congressional investigation, the NFL would just go on being its monopolistic, lying, ass-covering self.
2) Congress wants to be sure that it hasn't granted its all important anti-trust exemption to a monopolistic, lying, ass-covering organization. But it's too late. They already have.

So we get a congressional investigation about the Patriots destroying tapes, but the CIA destorys tapes of terrorist interigations and not a peep. I just feel there are plenty of things that need a investigation this isn't one of them.

Fortunes were won and lost. There are hundreds of victimless crimes. Cheating on this scale is far from victimless.
