Roger, you softy. I thought you were going to put the hammer to the Patriots. Instead you fine Coach Billy $500,000 and the team $250,000. That's a night at the craps table for these guys. Oh, pardon me, you did take away the Patriots first round pick in the 2008 draft if they make the playoffs this season. If they don't, they forfeit their second and third round choices. No problem, New England still has a fisrt round pick via San Francisco that brought Randy Moss from Oakland.
"Spygate" has become a farce. All this drama, the anticipation of penalities that would have teeth. What do we get? A pint-sized slap on the wrist.
Jimminy Christmas! If we got caught cheating in the real world, it would likely be our job! I've got your M.O. now. You'll lay the wood to the players, but not the owners. My mistake, that's right, they hired you.
Memo to Billy and the Pats: For $250,000, I'll sit in the stands and fire off snap shots of the opposing signals! That would make it an even mil, and you'd still get what you wanted..another Super Bowl championship. Winning has its price!
