If ML was Belichick.....

Do you think that if it was Marvin that was in Bill's shoes with the Spy-gate situation, do you think the punnishment would have been more????

Cause I think that Roger Goodell is a gutless Commisioner with no back bone. The Bengals organization has had quite a few incidents within the Past couple seasons, I thing Roger would have put the wood to us, and not only would Marvin have been fined , but he would have been suspended as well.

Reasons:

1. The Patriots are one of the Richer franchises, and I think that he tends to favor them. They are the current dynasty in the NFL.

2 He would have loved to stick it to us. Personally I think that he doesnt like us, b/c of the proir incidents

3. If Cowboys Assistant Coach Wade Wilson can get suspended for 4 or 5 games for taking HGH for Erectile Disfunction, then why cant Belichick for cheating? Its not like Wilson was looking for an advantage (.... uh...well at least on the field).

I think that Roger was just afraid to suspend a Marquee Coach in the NFL and I just think that he flat out does not want to put any more negative media on the leagues top franchise. Cause this punishment seemed more like getting tickled with a feather than getting cracked with a leather belt.

any thoughts????

this is a non issue,you think mikey would ever shell out the extra bucks to do this?

NYB, if that had been Lewis, no question the hammer would have been swift and FAR more severe.

Well I really don't think this is going to stop Belichick from cheating again, so, he'll probably get caught again, and then Goodell REALLY has to throw the book at him.

I think that the lack of severity of the penalty should inspire, rather than deter other coaches from rule-breaking of this type.

OTOH, assistant coaches won't be injecting themselves with HGH, so Goodell has saved the world from that
