Happy NFL day

[Zac]

Winds whisper of high hopes
Victory is in the skies
A season awaits with glory in her eyes

The long awaited 2007 season opener is tonight in Indy. I like the Colts in that one, but for the rest of the year..

LET'S GO SEAHAWKS

Bucs vs. Seahawks on Sunday.

IT'S SO ON.

[LadNagy]

Saints knocking off the Colts would be the perfect start to the season.

[ocarinamask]

I'm hoping for a close game that keeps me watching until the end. But when I think realistically, I know the Colts are going to blow them out. Being a Jags fan, it pains me to say the Colts will win, but I can not deny the ability of the team.

[Zac]

Colts get the easy win 41-10. The season really starts Sunday.

[BigfootGus]

i caught some of the game

[the poe collector]

Well, it was close at first. The same CB for the Saints got scored on 3 times.

[Tightline11]

49ers all the way baby, the NFC West is ours this year.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Ahhhh football. Welcome back old friend

[Cream Filling]

[Zac]

Seahawks win, Rams lose. Good day for me.

The Patriots are a bunch of tricksters.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, according to league sources.

NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.

Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.

The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that no official decision has been made and that the club has not been notified.

The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.

Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday, but that date is not set in stone.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft was asked Tuesday when he expected a verdict, but said those questions had to be directed toward Goodell.

"There is an investigation going on now, and perhaps an adjudication of it, and I think it would be inappropriate at this time to make any comment," Kraft told reporters at a charity appearance Tuesday. "When you're successful in anything, a lot of people like to try to take you down and do different things. We understand that.

"We worked very hard to try to put an organization together that we all could be proud of in New England, and we're very proud of the New England Patriots organization and the record that they've established over the last 13 seasons and one game."

The Seahawks won, thats all that matters :) I wasn't able to watch the Seachicken game as they showed a Raiders game in the time slot instead :(

I loved the tail end of the Niners game, it was a horrible game play wise but the last 2 min kept me glued to the TV.

Go Seachickens!

If the NFL wants that type of cheating to never happen again, they should declare the Jets the winner of that game. Nobody would ever tape the other coaches again.

[the poe collector]

Has anything like that ever happened before, where the other team gets awarded the victory?

I wonder how long they've been doing this. There was a sidenote thing in the link I posted that said Mangini knew about them doing this when he was working for the Patriots. If that's true then I can't believe he would just ignore them cheating during the games between the two teams last season.

[Zac]

Belichick fined 500k, Pats lose their 1st rounder next year if they make the playoffs, 2nd and 3rd rounders if not.

[Cream Filling]

I think the organization was fined 250k also
they should cut that shit out unless they want a harsher penalty.
