Wade Wilson Upset With Bill Belichick's Punishment Compared to His Own
9/14/07

Wade Wilson is upset and he should be. Roger Goodell failed in his first two attempts to punish members of the coaching ranks.

All Wade Wilson wanted to do was throw a football through a big hanging tire and sit in bath tubs with his wife out in the middle of nowhere and stare at the sunset.

All Bill Belichick was spy on opposing teams and effect the outcome of real, actual NFL games.

Wilson was suspended 5 games and fined one-third of his salary. Belichick avoided any suspension and was fined less than one-fifth his salary. I'd be seeking an explanation, too.

"I would say there is definitely a double standard being applied here," Wilson said Friday when reached at his home near the team's practice facility. "I don't want to be seen as a crybaby or as someone questioning the commissioner's decision, but I see some major inconsistencies here.


"To me, they're holding the organization accountable instead of the person."

"They were concerned about distributing, and I was cleared of that or I was told I would have been banned from the NFL for life," Wilson said. "I don't' want to bash the commissioner, but I definitely think there are some inconsistencies here. Intent was a big issue in my defense. What their [Patriots] intent was, I don't know. But I was just taking my punishment, and I guess what the commissioner does with Belichick is his business, but I think there are some inconsistencies here."
The fact that Belichick wasn't suspended is very disappointing. Do you agree Wade Wilson was treated very unfairly now that we've learned Bill Belichick's punishment?

I agree with Wilson 100%. In my opinion, Wilson's actions weren't even in the same ballpark as Belichick's. I realize that Goodell has to punish Wilson somehow for taking a banned substance, but for god's sake...he's a COACH, not a player. In the grand scheme of things, him taking HGH does NOTHING to the game of football. Belichick should have gotten something far worse than Wilson, no doubt about it.

Goodell's "punishment" was a joke.  If I were Wade Wilson or the Cowboys I'd be furious.
