If you would have been following, it was about the validity of the punishment handed out. Did Tom Brady deserve to be punished because he was found "generally aware" of balls being tampered with and was the 4 game punishment fair?
A guys first offense for an unprecedented crime? Is 4 games really necessary. No it wasn't the judge was right.
Granted this is slightly different because it involved a coach who isn't covered under the CBA but Sean Payton was suspended an entire season for bountygate when there was 0 evidence he knew about it. Not knowing something that was against the rules warrants an entire season, but having "general knowledge" of rules infractions, that you directly benefit from, doesn't warrent anything?
Using the bountygate example, I want to know why belicheat isn't being punished. If Payton loses an entire season for not knowing, why has belicheat gotten off scott free?
