I still believe Pete Rose when he says he only bet on the Reds to win, but he’s still banned for a reason.

Because the MLB commissioner had the courage to protect the integrity of the game. Can't say the same about Goodell since Brady and Belicheat aren't lifetime banned like Rose is. And since the NFL has already proven they don't give a shit about the integrity of the game, why bother doing gambling suspensions? It's the height of hypocrisy to say that Isaiah Rodgers may have changed how he played the game because he bet on it while not saying that Tom Brady may have changed how he played the game because Bill Belicheat told him exactly what the defense was running based on getting data back from Ernie Adams who was analyzing film of opponents' signal and relaying that data illegally. So remove Brady and Belicheat from the record books and ban them for life, proving you actually care about the integrity of the game, or stop pretending you care about the integrity of the game with these gambling suspensions. Of course, spineless coward Goodell will do neither, because this is more about PR and image than it is about protecting the integrity of the game.
