Week #2 NFL Quickpicks

News and Notes from during the week:

Patriots, this isn't YouTube -
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell continues his Mongolian rule over the NFL by dealing out harsh punishment to the New England Patriots. Goodell fined the entire team the NFL maximum $500,000 and ordered them to pay $250,000 to the NY Jets for spying on their defensive play calls with a video camera. In addition to the cash, the Pats will lose their first-round draft pick (they'll still have one from Oakland) and second and third picks if they don't make the playoffs. Just on these events alone, the Patriots have now been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. And next year's, also. (NFL.com)

It's like putting a new sound system on an '88 Caprice: #1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell held out for more money and Al Davis caved in like Jenga. Russell signed with the Raiders this week while Dante Culpepper said "looks like my job here is done." (NFL.com)

What a difference a week makes!: Fresh off his disastrous performance as a Cleveland Brown, Charlie Frye was traded to Seattle for a sack of magic beans. (NFL.com partial credit)
