The Euro is also weakening reducing Giselle's spending power. It's time to trade up Tom.
First of all, the Pats wouldn't know what to do with a draft pick. Trade it down? Blow it on yet another DB that fails to develop? Secondly, Goodell is sleep-over buddies with Kraft. There's no way he'd punish the Pats for Deflate-Gate. Best case scenario, the Jets loan out the Flight Crew for a long weekend while Kraft and Goodell get all snuggly in their onesies.
A lot of sports radio talk about the Daily Post story possibly missing the rest of the damages laid on the J-E-T-S. Precedent would certainly call for some draft picks to be handed over.
Then there's the group that thinks Goodell now has a hard-on for the Patriots because of what Kraft said about expecting a huge "We're So Sorry!" from the league when they finally work up to the courage to admit the Patriots had nothing to do with InflateGate.
Otoh, there's a suspicion that the World Champion New England Patriots are going to come out of InflateGate squeaky clean, and coupled with the Superbowl triumph and the JETS being fined for tampering PLUS the complete dismissal of the JETS tampering counter-claim against the Patriots that Patriots Haters everywhere would suffer a collective aneurism if the Pats were awarded some picks to boot.
