bullshite. This fine, and it's essentially what it is, blows every other fine completely out of the water

Well did you bring your company a superbowl win or equivelent? Most business aren't going to fire someone if they are one of their best employees.

But I guess this shows how illegitimate the win over the Vikings in the playoffs was viewed by the NFL.

If anything, that is a positive to him. He won't have an issue finding another job, I might. So again, how is this different?

Oh I fully get it. A multi BILLION dollar operation and one guy gets to play how HE chooses. All he does is preach about player safety, yet he encourages an 18 game schedule. How does that make your players more safe Rog? I hope like hell Sean Payton files suit against RG and the NFL. No one recalls the Star Caps issue? RG decided he was going to play by his rules....until the courts got involved and decided to show that there are greater things working than just his agenda.

Previous performance is again irrelevant. I handle sensitive data. If I shared that data, I would be terminated regardless if I made the company all of it's money or not. There are rules. He broke them, he pays

only if you have your head in the sand

and the reason you'd be fired is that you aren't nearly as valuable as SP on the open market. It isn't hard to comprehend

SFP, can you justify SP's sentence compared to Belichek's suspension?

Hater's gonna hate. The threat of an injury didn't make Favre throw that ridiculous pick.

How can you compare intentionally trying to harm someone to cheating?

It's not like he is going to go to a Canadian football team. He will be back in the NFL.

The going rate fluctuates for high profile targets, but you can have like a generation and a half taken care of for 8 million.

You dumbasses like this seem to think cheating is ok. I will say again, you realize that viewing another team's plays...their blocking assignments, routes, drop back, etc. gives a competitive advantage wherein a defender could very easily exploit that info to get a clean shot on any player...intentionally harming them. There is absolute no grounds for defense of the way in which Spygate was handled to this. They got nothing, we got fricked

that isn't what I'm saying.

He is too valuable in the NFL for the Saints to let him go. It would hurt the Saints franchise because it is doubtful we would find an adequate replacement

I see you have no response to the rest of my post. Perhaps because you know I am completely right about it and have proven your and the NFL's theory that recording an opponent's practice will not lead to injuries wrong. Enjoying being pretentious in the meantime while you try to come up with another flawed argument
