Around The NFL - 2007

i love the eagles players are flabbergasted over the fact that a coach would make a halftime adjustment to throw screen passes to counteract a blitz...clearly they arent used to such strategy

yes because the eagles players are the only players to point out some weird stuff going on when they play the patriots.

the punishment is weak.

"As the Commissioner acknowledged, our use of sideline video had no impact on the outcome of last week's game. We have never used sideline video to obtain a competitive advantage while the game was in progress."

cough, cough...bullshtein

That was a weak "punishment" since, as light bulb head pointed out, the Pats usually have extra picks (extra 1st & third in 08) for the next years draft anyway so they're not losing anything. And the fine's a damn joke for a coach making millions of dollars a year. Goodell totally lobbed a softball on this one.

$500,000 is the maximum he could fine Belichick

Rotoworld:      
The Buccaneers worked out free agent PR Jeremy Bloom last week.
Tampa could be looking for a replacement if Mark Jones struggles on returns going forward. The Eagles opted to bring back Reno Mahe over Bloom.


ha. please sign him

So, here's a summation of the camera thing:

1.  Stealing the signs was no big deal.

2.  The Patriots and/or Belichick didn't get nearly enough of a punishment.

Which is it?

Neither, and both.

the punishment was appropriate

move on

[Father Demon]

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Rams cornerback Tye Hill suffered broke multiple bones in his back when colliding with a teammate on one of the last plays of practice on Thursday.

Hill is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Lenny Walls will start in Hill's absence.

It's both. Everyone does it and no one should be surprised. But if you get caught, you had better expect to be punished severely.

[Geowhizzer]

For the armchair commissioners who feel that the punishment was not severe enough, what do you think it should have been?

[phattymatty]

how does reno mahe get quoted in that article?
