It is against NFL bylaws for a team to appeal a penalty against them. They are supposed to just accept it and shut up. The fact that they are still out there talking shit means to me that Goodell will stand his ground. The penalties that were levied against them were not arbitrary. If you're saying that Spygate comes into play when figuring out punishment for the Patriots organization then you will understand why they got hit so hard. For Spygate they got penalized: $250,000 1st Round Pick $500,000 for BB So there is no way, if you're saying this is their 2nd infraction, that you could ever give less of a penalty to the organization. That's why for Deflategate they were penalized: $1,000,000 fine 1st and 4th round picks This penalty is not arbitrary and can be defended very well if they were taken to court since the Pats had already accepted the Spygate penalty w/o any blow back and that was an obvious starting point for the league in deciding this penalty. I notice the Pats fans aren't whining about Bellichick getting off scott-free and comparing his non-penalty to Payton's year-long suspension, which is extremely harsh for not knowing something. I don't remember any "appeals" back then for that.

Must be some kind of fetish. Watching a grown man laugh and open his mouth with half-chewed popcorn must be pretty arousing, I guess.

NFLPA is apparently planning on calling Goodell as a witness so he won't be allowed to be the arbitrator What would Goodsell be testifying to? He wasn't there when the balls were being deflated, he didn't conduct the investigation and he didn't come up with the punishment. This is just a bullshit way of getting someone else to be the arbitrator because they're not happy Goodsell picked himself. They'd like an "independent" arbitrator so they can bribe him/her and make this go way. They are still trying to float that sting operation conspiracy so Goodell might have factual knowledge of such an operation and hence would be a witness.

Goodell - "I wanted to sit in on this hearing just to see if you could say all that with a straight face"
