As I recall, he put some Pats assistant in an arm bar when the Bills were warming up before the New England home game. It was reported that the little weasel was watching our warm ups and McDermott went ape chit. He knows. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/sean-mcdermott-escorts-bill-belichicks-son-off-the-field-during-pregame-warmups-for-patriots-bills-game/amp/ The weasel was Hoody’s little bundle of joy.

mannc Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Perhaps someone could send a bat signal to the commish. TSW would like to hear from him directly on this important issue.
Dan Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Why don't we start ..openly.. recording them in every game they play. Have some knock on the locker room door and ask if they can come in. Have a guy juar roam their side line during games. Every day in practice fly a helicopter over the field. Stupid *****.. But just ***** with them.
ToGoGo Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 It's all been said in this thread so far. But I will add this. There are a lot of dejected fans here talking about "well, it doesn't matter, the NFL will just sweep it under the rug". Remember that the power is in the fan's hands. There are millions of us, and only a few dozen decision-makers, if even. If we rise up, Goodell is gone. Kraft is gone, Etc. When will we stop being doormats? Make your voice heard. Demand action! What is this self-defeatist crap? 2

Every major organization monitors social media. It has more influence than you can possibly imagine. Speaking from experience. Even if only a couple people like it, a well placed post or tweet can reach the highest executives. On 12/11/2019 at 5:11 AM, BringBackFlutie said: I'm ready! Who do I talk to? Expand These tweets from Rappaport and the like talking about weak punishments are a test. They want to see the social media response. If it's weak they will go ahead with it. If there is heavy backlash, they will reconvene. They are doing everything in their power right now trying to sweep this under the rug. They are having midnight meetings as I type this trying to figure out how to make this blow over. The more outraged the NFL fans are, the more their hand will be forced. The more dejected we are, the more likely they will move ahead with no punishments.

BillsFanInCt74 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 They are an embarrassment to the league. If we could start thousands of people saying they were gonna boycott watching nfl if they dont punish the pats severely maybe they will. Kind of like the storm area 51 thing. How do we get that started . Maybe we should ask that kid who started that how. 1

Cheaters prosper under Goodell. Expand They forced them to give up a 1st round pick for spygate. They took a 1st and a 4th away from them for Deflategate along with suspending Brady four games. Plus, fined them a lot of dough in both instances. That's pretty severe punishment. There has to be credible evidence for them to throw the book at them (no matter how much we hate them) but I don't think the NFL will sweep it under the rug. 1
BillsFanInCt74 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 How many owners and coaches would happily trade 2 1st's a 4th and some cash for 6 superbowl victories. Sounds like a good deal to me Not to mention 9 afc championships 1

Expand 4, I'm up to 6 LOL Report: Severe sanctions unlikely in SpyGate 2 In Spygate, which happened during the 2007 season, the NFL fined Bill Belichick $500,000, fined the team $250,000 and docked the Patriots their first-round draft pick in 2008. The Patriots again are under investigation for an incident that involved a videographer. Severe sanctions are not expected this

Expand This is America dude, citizens here barely take part in democracy by voting, and you think they will get off their combined azsez and protest how football is run? Not in your lifetime, not ever, hate to say it but Americans are far to lazy to even give it a passing thought, it would take a minor effort and a tiny bit of sacrifice, and that ain’t gonna happen, you must be stoned... What needs to happen is having the NFLs monopoly taken away, but that ain’t gonna happen either, our elected officials are to big of a bunch of pansies to dare to confront 32 billionaires.
