This feels like we're discussing the 2008 Presidential debates. Isn't this over and done with?

So if the Pats are given the pick back... The NFL will essentially be saying that there was no ball tampering whatsoever and that this never happened. AND that the 6 million paid to Ted Wells was just a big mistake.

What is the Vegas line on Goodell saying the NFL was "wrong".

[Mr. Pink]

The NFL won't give the picks back, that would be them admitting they made a mistake.

The NFL is infallible.

but they all bend down to kraft. what is good in developing his new fan base is good for all owner pockets. the fact peter king said that the owners kind of agree, means that we are like 4-5 weeks from it happening. king may suck with his actual x's and o's, but he has insider insight.

Isn't the NFL still in court appealing the overturning of Marsha's suspension? Why would they give the picks back while still trying to suspend her?

[trapezeus]

because they didn't win last year. they have hit a cash cow by having boston interested in their team for the last 15 years. they know if the team loses, that new fickle fanbase goes right back to baseball. it is better to have all the new patriot jerseys and hats circulating around than it is to lose a large market like pre-2000.

[Bill Cody]

The NFL is going to lose the appeal

[DraftBoy]

Really don't care either way.

Jerry Glanville was right about NFL standing for Not For Long, because that's what some fans are thinking about following the league with the same passion they have in the past.

Brady aging or Belichick walking away might eventually wear down the Pats. Not having a 1st round pick in 2016 won't be their downfall.

I know King is connected and all but this makes no sense.

Didn't we read articles on how fed up some owners are about Kraft getting the preferential treatment ??? ..... How discontent they were about the handling of Spygate ??


I just don't see the owners wanting to give the picks back to the Cheats knowing they cheated. Remember Brady's suspension was lifted on administrative or procedural if you will causes. He has NEVER been deemed innocent.

Why does that article show that the NFL sucks?

The Patriots suck. The Media sucks for wanting to forgive them. The NFL is right here.
