the Pats made it to a conference championship last year with 14 signed rookies. I'm sorry but Brady and Belichick aren't that good LOL and its their 14th year of success including the SB with the Packers before the 14 year run.

Why would they manipulate to give one team a 14 year run? What other teams would approve of that? Where is the head of the manipulation, and what is it's designed goal. Certainly it would be more entertaining to watch Belicheck fall from the heights, or Brady get stood up on the field and then by Giselle.

The NFL probably could do it if it wanted, but fans and media would root it out, and the NFL would lose it's fan base. Heck when spygate came out, there was a huge outcry, and when they put in bad refs the fans outrage at the poor officiating certainly played a role in bringing the regular officials (bad as they can be) back to the field.

The NFL has a high value product by letting the human forces of the team game play out on the field. It would be a fool's errand to increase a small percentage of entertainment value at the expense of the (pretty strong) integrity of the game.
