Well, I hope NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is happy with his decision yesterday concerning the 49ers and their evil, tampering ways.
I mean that. I really do. Because now he might have to deal with Herm, and no one likes to deal with Herm.
Mike Florio's Take at ProFootballTalk.com
I hope the Commish is happy, because this could just be a hint of things to come.
On a related note, if you haven't seen this, it's pretty funny as well.
Jesse's Take
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really starting to miss Paul Tagliabue. It just seems like since Goodell took over, there's been a lot more unrest and controversy around the league. Perhaps all these problems were just looming under the surface before he got there, but there's something to be said for Tagliabue's ability to keep a unified front and uphold the league's image.
From a Niner fan's perspective, this reeks to high heaven. However, I suppose I can understand the league's desire to make an example out of someone to show they mean business. Right now, I'm sure every team's front office is discussing how they can avoid even the hint that they might have tampered with another franchise's player. However, even if I wasn't a biased party in this particular case, I'd like to see a little more concrete evidence proving that there was foul play involved before such a significant penalty was handed down. Furthermore, I have a hard time believing all the league's owners are going to take this "guilty until proven innocent" attitude sitting down once enough of them feel the pinch of this new totalitarian regime.
