1. No gun residue test was done. there goes the shooting.
2. defending his sister from douchebag. Child molester.
3. Talib will buy best team of lawyers money can buy.

4. No witnesses that saw Talib shoot a gun
5. No witnesses that even saw Talib handle a gun
6. Claims against Talib are solely being made by the woman abusing and child molesting “victim”

They should not cut him, they should reward him in my book

I don’t know why we are making him guilty, please review the following.
1. No gun residue test was done. there goes the shooting.
2. defending his sister from douchebag. Child molester.
3. Talib will buy best team of lawyers money can buy.
The guy walks, it’s up to Roger now.

I think the issue is Goodell. His high and mighty attitude is wearing thin. I don’t care what Talibs done in the past . If the dude is not convicted then nothing should happen. So we cut him he cleans up his act and another team gets him for nothing. IMO the guy is not raising my kids. As long as he can play the Bucs should keep him.

No problem! Sometimes, I do scratch my head and want to slap Goodell in the back of the head!

OAR,

Ooops!! I came off hotter than I meant to. Seems we are much closer than I initially inferred.

Yes, you are correct, he was punished. And, it sounds like you agree it was an insufficient punishment. I, it seems, am just more easily provoked over the degree.

Again, sorry for firing off both barrels when one would have been too much.

See my post to IMHO. Just stating he did, when you posted he did not. But, go ahead and give it to me anyways?????
BTW I could really care less about the Patriots and Bilicheat!

I didn’t say if it was THE RIGHT punishment! I just stated the fact that he did get punished, to which Ish said he did not get punished. Part of MY MIXED feelings towards Goodell, includes such uneven/unfair punishments.
BTW I didn’t know there was your definiton of “punishment” and the rest of the world’s? It is, what it is, PUNISHMENT! Right or not. Also, that fine is the largest ever imposed on a head coach, whatever their salary was.

Belicheat was fined, and the Patriots received a fine and lost the 31st pick of the draft. True.

Is that a fit punishment? He showed no remorse. He admitted it was a long standing practice of his. He hinted that he’d go back to it when people stopped looking.

Name another sport where a team is caught cheating and is not forced to forfeit that game? Pete Rose was banned from baseball for LIFE for betting on other baseball teams (not even his own games!), and this guy influences game outcomes and is fined a about 15% of his salary and forgiven. This right after Goodell came down hard on several players because they brought shame to football.

Goodell should have kicked the cheater out. Anything less was unfair to the players he was merciless with and to the fans.

16-0, my @$$! 15-1 and a black mark on the NFL.

Aqib Talib did not brandish a weapon, the gun that was found belonged to Billings. An ex cop that is stepping forward as a witness said Talib NEVER had a gun. Talib’s sister tried to call 911, but Billings took the phone from her and broke it. The police never showed up, so eventually Talib had to do something. I will not renew season tickets if the Bucs just release their best player. Watching Drew Stanton destroy the secondary was pretty miserable, we win that game easy if Aqib plays. If we win that game, we are the wildcard spot that the Packers used to win the Superbowl

Do we really need an article about news? Of course JBF does. I mean the recipe of JBFs success is that they release 5 to 8 articles a day. EVERY DAY. Rather than surf around and see the ESPN stale Bucs page or TBOs whack Bucs page, JBF comes with activity everyday. It keeps everyone coming back. I don’t always agree with Joe, but who cares? That’s life, people don’t always agree. But the one thing JBF is, is its consistent with fresh and updated articles. And that is why JBF is winning over everyone else.

Sorry to give your secret recipe Joe. of course, for anyone to compete they would need to have your drive day in and day out which can’t be easy. I rarely see websites this active with articles. That and you have some good contacts to boot. So taking you down Joe will take some effort.

I am surprised the bosses at Trib and the Times don’t force their sportswriters to compete with you. And having a twitter account doesn’t count.

@ OAR

U call that punishment? 500k is chump change compared 2 his 4.2 million salary at tha time. $250k compared 2 a team worth a billion plus is laughable. Forfieting tha #31 pick after coming off a 16-0 season is a joke. Belichick is one of Goodell’s best buddies.
