I doubt it was viewed as a compe ive advantage, but it was punished as a substance abuse issue.
I like how the Patriots beat a bad team and everyone is all over their jock. The Colts beat a good team and still have to prove themselves. ing awesome.
Newsflash...it's still Week 2 for everyone. Let's see how the Patriots play against a real team (such as their opponent this week) before we start booking their flights to Arizona.
If an assistant coach is getting HGH, common sense tells you that he very well could be supplying players with it.
yes. this isn't a court of law. it's just common ing sense. why would coaches cover their mouths when they talk unless they knew somebody was trying to read their lips?
That's why you investigate (as the NFL did) and when that investigation tell you that he was getting it for personal use (as the investigation did), then you give him a small fine and a 1 games suspension. Not the abberation that he got. When you use deductive reasoning and actually apply investigation techniques that have been around for thousands of years (nothing new), then you don't have to take guesses and lay down some harsh ass punishment about that you don't know. Common sense would tell that to you.
I agree with that and if there was evidence to that, then I would have no problem with the punishment. However, there has been no proof of that and its not right to impose a suspension like that on the possibility that he might have done that.If an assistant coach is getting HGH, common sense tells you that he very well could be supplying players with it.
Reading ESPN once in a while would tell you that no "investigation" like that ever happened. Wilson was the one telling the media of his diabetes and impotence. The NFL simply found out about the HGH and suspended him accordingly.
i think Wilson was immediately forthcoming with his receipts and finances in an attempt to show he was using them only for himself. he cooperated fully. now that doesn't mean a whole lot if you want to be cynical, but at least he wasn't trying to hide anything.
it's quite simple - mav fan thought they were over the hump because they finally beat the spurs. colts fan thinks they will never lose to the pats again because they finally beat them. you do the math.
If the NFL did that without investigating, that is even worse.The NFL simply found out about the HGH and suspended him accordingly.
You can't be in the NFL and take HGH. Period. End of story.
Agreed but the punishment has to fit the crime. I just don't think it did in this case.
I'm not all over the Patriots jock either. But as you said - IT'S WEEK 2. For all you know, that "good team" that the Colts beat is a 7-9 or 8-8 team (probably not because the Saints' division is pathetic).I like how the Patriots beat a bad team and everyone is all over their jock.

Well then the NFL really ed up. You have to investigate that before going off. If I was Wilson I'd think about appealing the suspension and fine on that fact.
Espn Sucks
But why was he fined 1/3 of his yearly salary for using HGH himself with no evidence of distribution and Belichick was only fined 12% of his yearly salary for actually cheating the game? That's bull .
Colts have a 3 game streak against the Pats right now, but I'll bet you didn't know that.
But only one in the playoffs when it counts.
Yeah but it's not like they've owned the Patriots. 1 win the Patriots were decimated with injuries, second one the Patriots would have taken it to overtime if Kevin Faulk can hold onto a ing pass, and the last one if Troy Brown runs the right ing route then the Patriots get the first down and can run out the clock.
No excuses, Colts won and deserved to do so, but the Colts aren't exactly owning the Patriots the way the Patriots used to absolutely own the Colts.

For Bill Belichick to escape Camera-gate without a suspension wasn't sitting well with rival organizations yesterday, particularly since Belichick's decision to use a camera on the sidelines flouted the rules and compromised the integrity of the game. "They fined him the maximum allowed, so certainly no one has a problem with that," one league insider said. "And they had to penalize the organization just to send the message that if a coach does this, everyone will be held accountable. But a suspension should have been the starting point, and right now there are some very angry people around the league."
Every losing team in every single NFL game played can always use the what if excuse. Don't spew that. Colts have beaten the Pats the last three games. Period. Owned.
i don't give a , they have beat them once in the playoffs. didn't the cavs sweep the reg season series from the spurs?
But the cavs didn't beat the spurs in the postseason, the Colts did beat the pats in the postseason. What's your point ?
it's nowhere near a given that the colts beat the patties in the postseason because they are 3-0 recently, with one postseason win. thick head fratty can't realize this.
There's a difference between dominating one of the league's most potent offenses of all time and holding them to 3 points in one playoff game & picking off the league MVP 4 times in another, and just barely squeaking by because one player ran the wrong route on a 3rd down that would have sealed the game in last years AFC le game. Do you not ing get that?
