This was the part that pissed me off the most. He could conceivably get popped for a 3rd year in a row and only get 4 games. Ridiculous. Heck, maybe they'd reduce it again. The Steelers and Goodell are getting ripped to shreds in the PFT comment sections on these stories.
Probably Pats and other AFCN fans who feel the same way we do.
