general.

And we still disagree strongly on how serious this crime is. The NFL warned multiple teams not to fuck with the footballs last season. No one was suspended even though it was already clearly against the rules.

See, your IM only sets up them bringing the hammer down when it continued. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:51 10
- No, my IM tells me that the NFL had very little reason to care about this crime and the punishment isn't consistent for all. - Will Hunting May 13, 12:53 8
  - Then they would not have sent a warning message out. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:58 5
    - It's been known for years you can't manipulate the balls; these teams did anyhow. No punishment. - Will Hunting May 13, 13:02 4
      - You can't go from a memo to an historic punishment and call it reasonable. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:03 3
        
        ... I call that perfectly reasonable. Now, if there had been no warning and then they did, I would agree. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:04 2
        
        There was warning...the first 2 teams got nothing....the next team got hammered with a monster penalty. - Will Hunting May 13, 13:05 1
        
        No, first guy gets a warning and that news is spread. Next violation gets the hammer. That is how it works. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:10
  - this is a professional sports league, that is run like a kids T-Ball league. - groiny May 13, 12:56 1
    - And it'll all be excused by saying they made billions. So does Apple under Tim Cook; it doesn't make him a better CEO than Steve Jobs was. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 12:57
- it was such a monumental cheat, that when they noticed at halftime, they let him finish out the game. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 12:52
