There should be some major suspensions here or possibly banishment. To me, this is along the same lines as gambling on the games.

$500,000 Fine to the Coach and $250,000 fine to the Organization plus losing draft picks is pretty hefty

WOW! just............... WOW.

I think they should have forfeited the game also, but that would upset Vegas to much. :lol:

I have to disagree with you there. Football teams are cash cows. The fines are already paid. Do you really think Bellichick (sp?) really put up his own money? No way. Bob Kraft paid the dough. And will the loss of a 1st round draft pick really hurt the Pats? Highly unlikely. They will make it deep in the playoffs for sure, and what have any of their recent first round picks really done for them?

The most disgusting thing about it was the press conference Bellichick had after the penalty was announced. He didn't admit to any wrongdoing. He stated that he "misinterpreted the rules". LOL!!! What a joke! The rules are clear.

At the least there should have been suspensions of some sort. Hell, Wade Wilson, a QB coach (not sure which team) just received a 5 game suspension for getting HGH to help with a personal health problem. And Bellichick does not even get 1 game for videotaping an opponent's signals. Come on, you can't tell me that is right.

I agree he should have been suspended for a few games

I dont like Bellicheck or Brady. Arrogant and now cheaters. They remind me of Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knauss and I dont like them either.

Chris Colloinsworth hit the nail on the head. He said if they got caught this time, its probably not the only time.

Plus you have to wonder what else they did? Bugging the other teams locker room? intercepting the helmet radio signals? Who knows? If this thing goes any deeper Belichek should be banned for life.
