Are you referring to Camera-gate? I want to say that the Patriots weren't the only team recording practices...they just got caught. They also shut up and took their discipline.
Sean Payton made a press release saying he was surprised. Drew Brees was shocked. I mean really? This had to happen, and I don't think the penalties are surprising at all. Goodell has focused on player safety for a long time now. This is a "player safety" league, blah blah. The bounties completely undermine player safety, and while I'm fairly certain that there were bounties all across the NFL...it's still the type of thing that Goodell needs to come down hard on with his history of policing hard hits. This was clearly a message...and a harsh one. I can't wait for the juicy gossip when we find out how long the players are going to be suspended for.
It sucks too because I like Sean Payton. It's no fun when a coach you really like turns out to be a scumbag.

Both. You couldn't ask for a higher-drama team, I think. We are going to see a repeat of last year. Sanchez sucks, and people in New York are going to be cheering "Tebow, Tebow, Tebow!" It's going to create all sorts of hilarious drama.
I wonder how Tebow must be feeling too. John Elway was all like, "oh yeah, Tebow is our guy." Remember after the playoffs Elway basically fellated Tebow? The reality is Tebow sucks. That playoff game against New England was hilariously embarrassing. I'm pretty sure Orton and Sanchez are both better quarterbacks. But I guess we will see. I ate several shoes last year, so maybe Tebow will actually develop this year.
