Someone needs to probe the NFL: NFL Probes into Suh talks but lets the Patriots off

sports gambling

The NFL allowed teams 3 days to negotiate with free agents before the official start of free-agency on March 10th at 4pm, but they were not allowed to reach an agreement or sign a contract until after 4pm. The Dolphins are presumably nervous, considering their “$114 million dollar” deal with Suh was leaked on Sunday, and smells like their was an agreement set in place. Other teams and players will also be added to the NFL’s latest probe. Whether or not the NFL deems anything wrong was done, it is a complete joke, because the Patriots got caught deflating their footballs against the Colts in the AFC Championship game, and so far the NFL has done nothing.

Regardless if the Dolphins or any other team did anything wrong in this case, which it seems they probably did, the NFL has already displayed that they do not have the “balls” to punish teams that really should be punished for breaking the rules of the game. Yes this is going to be a rant, be I am pissed, because the NFL was an absolute joke in dealing with the Patriots, where they could have really made a stand. Instead they did not want to do something drastic to the Patriots because it would hurt their precious Super Bowl, and in the process cost them money. Football is a sport that many sports gambling fans love and have loved since they were young children, however the NFL is a business. The NFL is not the sport we all love, it is Corporate business dressed up in pads and jerseys. The only thing the NFL cares about is money and that will never ever change.

They need to just admit the fact that they only care about money and stop with all these silly probes, because how many times are they going to let the Patriots embarrass their rules and let them get a way with it. Sure the NFL is still investigating the deflated football issue, and they may still punish them, but the optimal time to show their force and to show their faith in the integrity of the game has passed.

So now when they say they will be investigating whether or not teams agreed to contracts before the official opening of free-agency it becomes just down right laughable. I would also be very interested to see what type of punishment they would give to a team and or player they deemed to have broken the rules of their “legal tampering” period. The NFL can’t pick and choose when they feel like being strict, they need to be consistent, and they already lost their chance on the Patriots, so anything now is just a joke. How can anyone take the NFL’s rules seriously? I don’t blame teams for tampering with the rules. If they see other teams are going to get a way with it, then any team not breaking the rules is the one that is truly at the disadvantage.
