Why is it that when any thread with the word "cheat" in its title shows up, you have to show up and whine about something?

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say because he's from Massachussetts he's also a Patriots fan. That is probably your answer.

How about not starting topics that are deliberately created to cause arguments? What if I made a topic called "Goodell urges crackdown on coaches who do not support *** rights"?

Well it would probably be locked, mainly because it didn't happen, but also because I'm pretty sure that would start to violate a lot of forums rules...
whereas this memo actually did happen, is news, and people want to discuss it...

I think this guy will be fired sooner rather than later. I think the owners are getting sick of him bringing their league into disrepute.

no way. Goodell is the best thing that happened to football. he's cleaning up the mess that Tagliabue created and did nothing to solve.
Just look at the extreme drop off in player thug activities just this year alone. Goodell is doing a great job, and is very proactive in making the league better in whichever way he can.
He's a great commissioner.

How about quit being so self-important because it was your team that cheated and realize that this is something that affects all 32 teams, since it's an integrity of the game issue (all teams are going to lose fans if the integrity of the game can't be trusted), and the NFL won't only be conducting these inspections on the Patriots. That doesn't mean they'll find anything anywhere, but it's still a newsworthy item. Goodell is urging the competition committee to change the rules so that the integrity of the game isn't violated again. What's not to like about that?

I also think this is a great move by the Commish, although hopefully he doesn't hurt the integrity of the league and the league office by doing ridiculous favors for certain people when their franchise is caught, like he did with Robert Kraft in the Spygate brouhaha. (Funny how we haven't heard Matt Walsh talk yet, btw.)
And hey, if the Colts are cheating, I hope they're caught. My feelings are league-wide: don't friggin' cheat.
The big thing the league needs now is a test for HGH. I'd like to see how super those San Diego Super-Chargers are then ...

im tellin you, HGH is a league problem, not just the chargers. the day we get a test for HGH, expect to see a rather large change in the league. players will get smaller, and injuries will increase 10fold across the board.
i don't think we should ban HGH, but there should be restrictions. its actually very useful when used as a healer.

Realistically, they all cheat in one way or another and if it is brought up every day for the next 2 years and the NFL sees their TV revenue affected negatively, I'm sure the owners will love him.

So because Shawne Merriman tested positive for nandralone and Rodney Harrison said he had been doing it after he left the Chargers, the Chargers have an HGH problem? And they're the only team?

How do you know that every team cheats? Do you have any proof? If not, it's a baseless shot at 31 teams. It doesn't matter how many people say everyone cheats, until there's proof, it's only fair to assume innocence.
