Beli-cheat

September
12

So I’m trying to figure out what sherriff Goodell is going to do to the I-Spy coach of the Patriots.

I’ve been reading in other places that the NFL commish should make the Jets and Patriots play over again. And I’m wondering if that’s punishing the Patriots or the Jets.
Granted, without cheating, perhaps the Jets might have gotten to Tom Brady once, and perhaps Thomas Jones might have broken off one run (incidentally, he pretty much embarrassed himself when he finally had that 12-yarder and he celebrated as if he just tied the all-time rushing record). But cheating didn’t have much to do with the linemen of the Pats manhandling their Jets counterparts.

Still, Roger Goodell is punishing wrong-doers, so he has to come down hard on Bill Belichick.

Here are a couple of suggestions for the punishment, in addition to a fine, a suspension and a few forfeited draft picks:

Make him wear a suit and tie during games.

Make him hug Eric Mangini after every Jets-Pats game, with both arms.

Make him spend his non-football hours at home, with his wife.

Make him use the Detroit Lions’ playbook.

Make him hold long press conferences where he actually has to answer the questions honestly.

Anybody got any others?
