MarkB452 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 At the Cowboys’ behest, the NFL is investigating the Giants’ use of walkie-talkies on the sidelines, the New York Post reports. The league is investigating whether or not the Giants broke the rules when head coach Ben McAdoo used the device to call plays and communicate with quarterback Eli Manning during New York’s 10–7 win over Dallas on Sunday. Manning’s headset malfunctioned in the fourth quarter, causing the Giants to switch communication methods. Dallas filed a formal request for the NFL to investigate. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-nfl-investigating-giants’-walkie-talkie-use-at-cowboys’-request/ar-AAlCoDq?ocid=iehp I sure hope they lose a draft pick as they violated the spirit of whatever rule that is....

Mr. Sinister Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Not even getting my hopes up with this, but my God would it be awesome if they got nailed....

For a few seconds at least, before you realize that it won't come close to the great train robbery of 2012 Dungy said either before or during the game that if the Giants are only hit with a fine, then that would send a bad message. And he said he knows if he was still coaching he would be lined up outside the NFL offices, wanting to know why a stronger message wasn't sent. He said what they did was a big no no. And that teams are given a memo before the season, outlining what you can and can't do, regarding communication. And that using walkie-talkies are a clear violation.

Well I guess Tony had better head on over to the league office... http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18301290/new-york-giants-fined-walkie-talkie-use-sources-say Is anyone honestly surprised?

Roger.Staubach Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Of course they will only be fined. It's what the NFL does FOR the Giants. Cleveland lost a draft pick for a similar issue. **Edit** Removed link as Squatch66 beat me by 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 We'll be lucky if they get fined. My guess is nothing happens at all. If this were the Skins we'd be fined our 1st round pick, millions of cap space, and would have to forfeit games. I'm only half joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 No team gets the deal the Giants do. Roger seems like he's probably a pretty staunch monogamous. And we definitely know he's a bottom so I can't imagine him straying either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornaSkinsFan83 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The joke is about a romantic relationship to explain the obvious bias. A joke that's been made God knows how many times through history. That it's between two men is just a detail of the joke, not THE joke. If you took that to be the main point, and a negative point at that, you might want to worry more about your own crap and less about mine (which is telling a bad joke--nothing more, nothing less--and hardly worth highlighting and calling out). Sorry to hijack this thread but I have to defend myself against crap like that. And besides personal reasons, diluting the accusation lessens the reality. Just no **** John Mara.

Busch1724 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The lack of severe punishment will be justified by the league office by saying, "It was only for four plays." If Jack Del Rio had done this, would the punishment be the same? The reason I bring up Jack is because the tenuous relationship the Raiders have had with the league and Jack hasn't been punished before for anything.
