Falcons fined $350,000 and lose 2016 fifth round draft pick

Not really surprising. Goodell looking out for one of his buddies, Arthur Blank.

All 32 owners pay his 40 million a year salary. They are all his buddies.

ffs that is a popcorn fart of a slap in the wrist if I've ever seen one. So they lose a meaningless 5th round pick and 350k, which is not even the equivalent of an undrafted rookie's salary if my mind serves me correctly

No wonder everybody cheats in the NFL

[stan786]

If I'm only get fine a fifth I'd pump sound into my stadium all day long.

[frash.exe]

If the NFL had any balls like the NCAA you might see some actual parity in this league

[Khaki Lackey]

Hell, we've got three fifth rounders this year. We should pump in noise. Not even simulated crowd noise, but babies crying, car horns, construction site noises, gay porn audio...

[stirs]

can we have it?

[rhyslloyd]

I read that as "Sever my nutsack" and cringed mightily

Oh dear lord.

[Cary Kollins]

I read that as "Sever my nutsack" and cringed mightily

 

 

I did too, except instead of cringing I gave him pie.

[Proudiddy]

Lol @ severe.

Gordell really showed them!

What a bitch...

[LUUUUUKE]

Man, this is some straight up BS!

We likely lost that one game because of the crowd noise in part, and missed out on the playoffs, and these busters lose a 5th?

Fug the NFL! They put players on the "Commisioner's Exempt list" and pay their asses but you have organizations and GMs getting slapped on the wrist!

I'm heated right now

I second the gay porn. Matt Ryan won't be able to focus with the sound of his people playing.

[h0llywood]

And New England will be stripped of their 3rd round pick... oh wait they got a 3rd compensatory pick.

[Semaj]

Lol at all those people who thought that they would lose this year's second. Hahaha! Goodell showing more of his ineptness.
