Tampering double standard?

He's in "bed" with the Revis camp. He has been for years. Now, because Revis is back here, Mehta's stories involving him will favor us.

Good point. Mehta has always had a Man Crush on Revis. And he's always hated Idzik right down to the bone. So it's twofold: he gets to downplay any negative pub surrounding his boy Revis, and condemn Idzik to hell for trading Revis to TB.

Revis is under contract. Kraft expressed interest. No difference

Good job Woody

This is too good. Too good!
Thats what I'm talkin' about!!

THERE YOU GO, WOODY, thats the way to deal with scum like Bob Kraft, fight fire with fire and don't be timid about it either. You called Kraft like a gentlemen and apologized for making a mistake, but that wasn't good enough, he took your apology and shoved it up your ass, now you would have been a SUCKER if you didn't do likewise.

My respect for the Wood-man has just grown exponentially.

There kinda is. I'm sure Kraft's comments will be dusted under the rug next time Goodell is at his buddy Robert's house for a party.

Woody's comments? Eh not so much

No difference.

The Jets smartly filed tampering charges of their own which will effectively negate this petty spat brought on by Kraft.

How are they different? Isn't the letter of the rule that you cannot comment about wanting a player under contract to another team?

If Kraft can argue that Woody's comments in December were meant to sway Revis when his contract was up, Woody can argue that Kraft's comments were meant to sway Revis in a few years.

I'm sure you won't see it that way. The Pats don't do wrong. Only the Jets do.

Is that Pats fan complaining? Figures. He has no case here.

lets actually look at the rule

The tampering rules prohibit “[a]ny public or private statement of interest, qualified orunqualified, in another club’s player to that player’s agent or representative, or to a member of the news media.” The rule includes this example of prohibited statements: “He’s an excellent player, and we’d very much like to have him if he were available, but another club holds his rights.”

looks to me like we have a pair of technical violations of the rule - both owners sentenced to one day of community service.

Is Kraft really that stupid? I doubt it, and it makes me wonder why he would say something like that particularly when his charge against Jets is pending.

Actually he is pretty stupid

Evidence....the obviously drunk video with the bimbo while the shiva period for Mira was barely over

And

The hideous pink tie that only he and Donald Dump seem to think is chic

I guess its just the conspiracy theorist in me who wonders about dumb $hit like this. Besides, when you are as wealthy as Trump or Kraft, you can wear any color tie you want.

Pats' fans are like the parents who attended their son's military school parade , and the mother turns to the father and says......"everybody is out of step but our son Johnny".

Sack you know well there is a difference and so do I. What you probably should be more concerned with is the fact that Woody is concerned enough with the tampering charges against the Jets that he's desperately trying to deflect attention away from it. Personally I believe he's trying to insert himself into the situation to try and manipulate the outcome as "offsetting fouls", this isn't going to work. The Jets will end up paying the Pats something, better to just do it and move on with the offseason.

Do you not see how desperate a move this is by Woody? He is clearly very concerned over the penalties the league may impose on the Jets for tampering. For the record Kraft's comments, Bob Kraft- “We thought we made a very competitive offer,” Kraft said yesterday from the league meetings at the Arizona Biltmore. “I speak as a fan of the New England Patriots — we wanted to keep him. We wanted him in our system, and we have certain disciplines. We had hoped it worked out. It didn’t."

Those comments do not fit the Leagues criteria for tampering no matter how you spin it, and in addition, they do not fit the leagues criteria for showing a potential negative impact on the relationship between the team and player.

or maybe kraft is so worried about deflate gate that he cried to his best buddy goodell about an off-hand comment woody made.
