The Quarterbacks c ...[text shortened]... h of the Dallas Cowboys was suspended for 5 games for receiving shipments of steroids years ago!
Buddy. Do you know what a first round draft pick is worth? 4 or 6 years of a GREAT PLAYER.
This is the BIGGEST EVAH punishment handed down.
Steroids are a major problem in sports, so that was a good decision. All teams steal signs. Just last year Bill made a Jet's camera guy move. Just made him move... nothing more.
Mangina took it to the next level and tattled on Bill. Bit the hand that fed him. Now everyone plays stupid and blames every cheat incident on Bill and NE.
Cheating happens all the time, it's part of the sport... and as long as it doesn't include drugs and early death of players from these drugs (Lial Alzado) I have no problem with people 'trying'. When they are caught, they get punished. If they get away with it, I'll shame them from my couch.
You know how to tell if someone is cheating in football? You'll see a yellow flag fly through the air.
Bill got caught, a decision was made. Some think too much, some think not enough, some think just right.
