    Was Dallas stripped of it's draft picks when one it's re-instated players killed a man in a DUI?

    Was Baltimore stripped of picks for tampering with Ray Rice evidence?

    Was Pittsburgh stripped of picks when Mike Tomlin placed his foot on the field at Jacoby Jones?

    Show some consistently with your argument you fruit.

    Again, SpyGate is the closest example. I'm pretty sure in 2007 your Middle School had the internet.

    SpyGate has NOTHING to do with texting on the sideline.

    Everyone in this thread disagrees with you, you're being an idiot.

    How is spyGate even closely related to textgate? In my opinion, the Patriots should have received a much stiffer penalty than they did, and the texting should be a fine and suspension for the GM at the very most. No way a first round draft pick can be taken away for that.

    It has everything to do with this. The NFL has rules concerning using electronic devices during games and where they can be used. I'm not sure if Browns fans actually watch football.

    SpyGate was about improperly placed video cameras. The NFL allows videotaping opposing coaches during the game just not from the vantage point the Patriots used.

    Good argument boys.

    You've convinced me, the NFL has an agenda to keep the Browns down!

  • @walterwhite said:

    Zombo makes a great point.

    There is no comparison to domestic violence and texting, NONE

    Zombo said:

    If Farmer beat the fuck out of his wife I would be outraged.

    If the Panthers GM texted a coach during a game i wouldnt care.

    You can flip that around any way you want.

    The NFL is gay if they make an examples out of team X for texting coaches.

    Z

    It's not about example. If you get caught breaking the rules you get punished. That's the similarity between SpyGate, Peterson, Hardy, Vick, Brent, etc. If they take away 12 instead of 19 we can argue that the penalty may be too harsh but let's not be the fans who endorse breaking the rules

    I don't care if it is the Browns, Falcons, Panthers etc.

    GM texting the coach is minor. And who knows who else did it?

    Spying on the other team's practice? Major.

    Your star player beating the fuck out of females? Major.

    GM texting coaches from box? Wrist slap.

    Yours is too severe.....that's all. We don't know the punishment yet, so no one is saying the NFL has an agenda............at least not yet

  • If the GM texts the OC in the middle of the game and says "wtf are you doing?" Why is this a scandal?

    We are going to lose a draft pick because that twat Shanahan cried on Mary Kay's shoulder over a mocha latte about mean texts?

    Can a coach text GMs while he is doing his job?

    Who cares either way?

    Shannahan is a vagina. Turn your phone off during the game. I dont check mine during a Browns game, what is he doing checking his?

    No he isn't. I like vagina"s For a long time now.

    I'd say the guy is more like a dick. Can't say I have ever liked but one of those.......mine.

    I don't see it being a first rounder.

    In fact I'll be surprised if it's a draft pick at all. Heavy monetary fine maybe but I'll be surprised if it's a draft pick

    They didn't tape practice, the Patriots taped the game which you are allowed to do. Where the violation occurred is they taped the Jets from the Jets sideline which you can't do. You have to tape them from your sideline.

    I think Goddell's point, which the OPs tweet quote gets at, is that the violation of any rule is a major issue to the NFL. So the calling him names for taking that position is Browns fans feeling that what Farmer did is really no big thing.

    While I agree competitively speaking I think it probably didn't give the Browns any advantage. I also agree with Goddell that this is a rule that every GM knows, and if they don't they shouldn't be a GM, and that's the problem. One of the main players in deciding the course of the Browns knowingly broke an NFL "just cause he was frustrated". If the penalty is cash and a first rounder I would hope as fans we would be more angry at the guy angrily breaking a known rule than feeling persecuted by the Commissioner.

    You would hope we as fans shouldn't be angry if Goodell takes away one of our first round picks over a text message when The Ravens, Steelers, Patriots, etc have done far worse?

    GOOD GOD YOU'RE AN ASS

    Again I know this reply isn't sinking in but the NFL, like many, workplaces has ruled governing on players, coaches and management actions both on and off the field. Conspiracy theories aside, the NFL punishes crimes consistently admittedly with the glaring exception of domestic violence which they have appeared to rewrite as they went.

    You are completely incorrect on your facts re spygate, had nothing to do with Jets, Pats were taping Rams practice before Super Bowl.

    I'm betting it will be one of their 4ths, and a substantial fine, as the NFL will send a message to the other 31 teams.

    If the league cared about the FANS, then they'd hit Haslem in the pocket book....(cause we dont care about his $).....then HE can feel the sting and deal with Farmer how he see's fit....

    But by taking a draft pick, they are really hurting US the fans, because it damages the team we love.....

    so.....Roger......who ya gonna punish?
