They have had repeated violations of this same thing, I think they should take a way the first four rounds, including any picks they received for trades or other deals.

Commissioner Roger Goodell also ordered the team to give up next year's first-round draft choice if it reaches the playoffs and second- and third-round picks if it doesn't.

Gosh I bet Cuban is glad that Roger Goodell isn't the commissioner of the NBA. I like this guy.

[Coach]

Cuban would hate it because... he cheats, or because he would be suspended for one of his multiple felony arrests?

It's not that Cuban cheats. I don't believe he does. He just violates long standing traditions amd makes waves. I believe he respects David Stern, but disagrees with a large amount of what he does and how he handles things.

[Coach]

I agree, I don't think he cheats either, and I think he would like a commissioner that is consistent in holding teams and individuals accountable, like Goodell does.

I'm just glad what Wade Wilson did was 5 times worse than what Bill did.

[Coach]

After I typed that, I saw an article comparing the two coaches. So much for the consistent part.

Well the Pats responded pretty well I would say, to their penalities against San Diego. I did see where the NFL is saying they still may get more.
