The NFL and MLB should work together to punish the Patriots and Red Sox.

Put BB and Cora in a room. Break a pool cue in half and tell them that we’re gonna have tryouts to see who gets to keep coaching. Full on Joker Dark Knight style.

Only one can exit the room.

Then suspend the winner for life.

Good.

They deserved it. MLB took care of business.

Unlike the NFL, who is afraid to bring down the hammer on their cheating teams.

Yet they still have a championship.

Luhnow will get hired again, his track record of finding players is very good.

Damn, Houston lost so bad yesterday that the Astros fired their GM and manager.

GoChargers 01-13-2020 02:22 PM

It's nice to know some sports leagues actually care about the integrity of the game, at least. Goodell would have given the Astros a slap on the wrist and not even bothered investigating the Red Sox.

Al Bundy 01-13-2020 02:23 PM

The Red Sox should be hammered for hiring Cora as well.

They will be. They started their investigation today

On the other hand, the Red Sox are a Boston team. They won't fire Cora, he'll get suspended, and the fans and media will spend all of next season whining that "they hate us 'cause they ain't us" and "everyone cheats."

But the draft picks is a major kick in the junk. And they deserve it no doubt. Losing 2 picks in the top 60ish in consecutive years is a pretty strong deterrent. They don't quite have the payroll of the big boys, so hitting on the draft and having a GM as smart as Lunhow has gone a long way to making them as good as they've been lately. Along with cheating, I suppose!

I saw somewhere that $5 million is the max they could fine.
