IRVING – When Wade Wilson learned New England coach Bill Belichick would not miss any games for his role in "Spygate," the suspended Cowboys quarterbacks coach was puzzled.
"Being told coaches are held to higher authority, my intent was not to create an imbalance in competition," Wilson said. "Presumably, what the Patriots did was try to, so I'm wondering about the consistency." Wilson has four games left of a five-game suspension and has to pay a $100,000 fine for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Wilson, who has lived with diabetes for 24 years, told commissioner Roger Goodell he was using a banned substance to help his quality of life. Wilson said the league cleared him of distributing the substance to players. Speaking before the Cowboys' season opener against the New York Giants, Goodell said he punished Wilson because he holds coaches to a higher standard. "As a coach, you understand the policies and you're responsible for leading these young men, and we want them to lead them in the right direction," Goodell said. Wilson said he will speak with Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones before he decides whether to appeal his suspension. Wilson added that he is unsure whether it's still possible to file an appeal. When the suspension was announced, Wilson spoke with NFL Coaches Association president Larry Kennan about an appeal but opted against it. "If Jerry doesn't want me to do that, then I'll accept that because of the way he's backed me," Wilson said. Belichick was fined $500,000 by the league and the organization was docked $250,000. If the Patriots make the playoffs this year, they will forfeit their first-round pick in next year's draft. If they do not qualify for the postseason, they'll lose second- and third-round picks. Wilson said the fines seem disproportionate when comparing his salary to Belichick's. The Patriots coach is believed to make $4.2 million a year, while Wilson makes a little over $300,000. "I'm not trying to jump down the commissioner's back or bring Coach Belichick down," Wilson said. "I'd just like consistency from what I was told to what the next situation was." __________________________ Goodell is full of bs. Simple as that. Wilson has freaking diabetes, the league knows he didn't give the drugs to players.....yet they suspend him over a quarter of the season and fine him 1/3 of his salary. People are saying that what Belichick got was sufficient. It was a comparative slap on the wrist. Goodell says coaches are held to a higher standard but punishes a head coach FAR LESS for a FAR GREATER infraction of the rules than he does a position coach. Whether or not all teams do what the Pats did, which I don't think they do, the purpose for doing it is still to gain a competitive edge, to create an imbalance in competion as Wilson said. Perhaps the Pats penalty is not too severe and is justified but then if it is the right penalty, Wilson's was extremely severe and unjust.
