Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

    Fine $50,000 for team
    Fine 50,000 Bellichik
    Fine $25,000 Brady

    If it happens again double fines
    And a 5th round pick

    The truth of the matter is that it had zero impact on the gayme.

    Those fines are way too light, considering that Lynch's nut-grabbing and not talking to the media get fined at a higher rate.

    "major cheating scandal"

    lololololol

    We could debate whether it's worthy of being major or not. It's all any sports media wants to talk about, as Spygate was once upon a time. I think that's basically the definition of a major scandal.
    Go ahead and accept what the media tells you is important and relevant. It's your choice, after all.
    poont taken.

    So I'll put you down as "no penalty"? Did you think losing a draft pick after spygate was too harsh?
    If it can be shown the patriots are responsible for this (duh), then yeah, some penalty is probably warranted since there was likely some degree of "unfair" competitive advantage achieved. What that penalty should be - I don't know, but not anything of great significance. It's roughly equivalent to corking a bat in my mind.

    Re: spygate. Stupid rule. They were subjected to far more of a penalty than just a draft pick, fwiw.

    This is their 3rd incident, is it not? Didn't they get popped for videotaping other teams' defensive signals during games? Or was that included in the spygate mess? Either way, I think they're going to get nailed. Sean Payton got suspended for an entire season for the bounty bullshit that was done by his DC. I don't see how Bellichick skates on this one, given his past indiscretions. That said, WGAF what the air pressure of the ball is. Didn't impact that game at all. The Colts plungered themselves.

    Fines
    Two draft picks
    Suspend Belicheat for 5-8 gaymes, probably the OC for the same (he probably knew), and pretty boy for two (he knew)

    No question about that
