Manfred could suspend Altuve etc but the players would then file a grievance, it would go to arbitration and the burden of proof then falls on Manfred who now has to litigate maybe 20-25 separate grievances plus a group grievance (Class Action) If Manfred loses the arbitrations he looks like a clown like Roger Goodell or Adam Silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "baseball" and nothing i said, said anything about "suspicion" of PED use..those were your words. Not mine. Baseball does suspend players for first time use.

You cant suspend those who cheated because they were given immunity when the investigation started. They had to give them immunity otherwise the investigation would have been useless and wouldn't have told them anything. We wouldn't have found out any details about the cheating without players being offered immunity. Boston has gone from the only team since the Black Sox to be caught cheating on an organizational level once to twice? Remember when Sox fans cried that ARod was a cheater? And that was pre PED use, LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers is going to go down in history as the guy who destroyed tapes, destroyed the credibility of the league and by rewarding cheaters for since 2006. 10 years from now Manfred will be one of the most beloved Commissioner's in history, and he'll be the standard for when it comes to integrity. Im not saying he's doing everything right, but no one will respect Goodell in terms of the integrity of the game. Has the league made billions on top of billions since he's become commish? Yes. Owners will love him for that, but the fan, the folks who spend their money and their time rooting for a team that they always felt had no chance against the Patriots and Kraft Productions will always know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pats get away with whatever they want, Tyreek Hill beats his kids nothing happens to him, Ray Rice would have had a wrist slap if that tape hadn’t gotten out and the rules favor offense, offense offense If it wasn’t for Adam Silver Roger Goodell would be the most incompetent commissioner around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had to do with his hatred of the Jets, an organization that have him a HC job when no one would, an organization that have him a million dollar bonus to stay as DC when no one was interested in him as a HC. I get that he was pissed with the Gutman thing but that came about because of the sloppy way he jilted us (which had more to do with Parcells).

SackExchangeNYJ Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 What always bothered me about the spygate punishments is that the league handed out its punishments before it visited Foxboro. Then it went up there, conducted an investigation, found a library of videos so bad they had to be destroyed, yet did not increase the penalties? That made no sense to me. Why were they not punished for what was uncovered and destroyed at Foxboro? If the tapes weren't incriminating, they wouldn't have been destroyed. If they were incriminating, there should have been an increase in penalties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the league determined that the Patriots cheated, how come Brady wasn't suspended for the Super Bowl against the Seahawks?
