Still the “bounty-gate” charges (whatever the truth) are exponentially more serious in my opinion.
ironically..the evidence was lacking in the bountygate scandal and the players penalties were rescinded..coaches, having no unions, have to suck it up and accept what penalties are handed down..Belichick shouldn’t be banned for a year, actually you will probably never see that again since goodell so screwed up with the Saints, but at least be consistent with the ignorance is no excuse line that he created. Also, like I said, Belichick team is a two-time offender..
Charges were more serious. All of them were dropped against the players once the arbitrator ruled. It will be the same in New England. There is simply not evidence linking Brady to this, as there was not with the players in New Orleans.
