The NFL owners are happy with how the league handled it. Sphincter is pimping for Comcast on this instead of dealing with the more pressing matters facing this country.

The Pats are really going to miss that 1st round pick that could have gone into a LB that they so badly needed. The taping infraction is going to hurt their ability to compete for the top spot over the next few years.

The NFL is using their anti-trust exemption to leverage power against the cable companies. The original reasoning for the anti-trust exemption was to allow the NFL to equalize revenues and keep small market teams competitive.

The Pats are really going to miss that 1st round pick that could have gone into a LB that they so badly needed. The taping infraction is going to hurt their ability to compete for the top spot over the next few years.

Losing one draft pick, particularly since they already had the 49ers 1st round pick won't hurt them that badly. The Giants lost several key players to knee injuries during their title run. Teams lose players. It happens all the time.
