Arthur Blank Admits Falcons In The Wrong!

The NFL is trying to determine if the Falcons pumped artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome for home games the last two years. Apparently, the answer is yes.
Blank had a quick response when asked if there was a fine line for crowd noise not allowed by the league.
"It's not really a fine line," Blank told The Associated Press. "I think what we've done in 2013 and 2014 was wrong. Anything that affects the competitive balance and fairness on the field, we're opposed to, as a league, as a club and as an owner. It's obviously embarrassing but beyond embarrassing it doesn't represent our culture and what we're about."
Blank said he expects the league to report its findings in two to three weeks.
The Falcons could be fined or penalized with the loss of a draft pick if found to have added fake crowd noise during the opposing team's huddles when they were trying to call a play.
"We've got some information internally," Blank said of the investigation. "Not all, clearly, until we see the full report. But we've dealt with it internally the best we can, which was limited because we haven't seen the report.

Honestly, I don't give a shite. Punish them or not. Even though the Saints got railroaded, IMO, in 2012. I don't give a shite about fake crown noise. Hell, fine them some money and drop it.
As for the Pats, with the deflated footballs, they have shown illegal activity before. They need more than a fine for wrongdoing, even though I don't give a shite about deflated balls either. The only reason I pay attention is because they have been caught before.

Can their punishment be that we get their 2nd round pick and they get SJB?

They should suspend Mike Smith and Tony Gonzales.

Coming clean is not really a bad thing.

Please tie back to Dimitroff, please tie back to Dimitroff.

Maybe they can take their 2nd round pick in 2015, take their 2nd round pick in 2016 but say there's the possibility that they get it back if they cooperate, and then one year later without any explanation tell them they're not getting it back.

I don't really care either... frankly the worst punishment they could receive would be for the NFL to relentlessly publicize this so NFL fans far and wide can see how lame they are.

Who cares? This is such a pussy league now. Goodell and company are like nazis.

Yep, good for Blank. I'm actually warming up to him as an owner.
Why he has not canned Dimitrov is a head scratcher though.

Because he is secretly a Saints fan.

Well let me think back to when the falcon fans reacted to the bountygate story for a moment here...
...ohhhh another Christmas present and so late too.
Thank you baby Jesus. Thank you!
