Yeah right,
Get caught taking steroids and play for your team in the play offs.
Chargers fans should be pleased by that justice handed out to Merriman

Since more than likely they will be playing at least one playoff game at home, take that away from them.

THis clearly illegal act was most likely inititiated by the COACH. The responsibilities are different. If during investigations they find this under Mr. B's control they should forfeit the game.

I dont care what Tom Brady did on offense or the fact that the Patriots probably did not need to do this to win. Mr. B has been warned before. A forfeit would be perfect.

Belichek, the horseracing fan, is looking for an edge.I'd say it's pretty predictable that he'd try to cheat,but surprised he got caught.

Belichick should be forced to go on ESPN and say, "I'm not a crook"...

That was the first person that came to mind.
Tricky Dick Nixon.

The Patriots dont need to tape anyone.
Stupid move by a possible paranoid type.

I have read that Mangini is the one who tipped security off that this was happening. Obviously Mangini knows Belichek's "tricks". Bizarre that he would still go ahead and do it. But Belichek has proven to be a BIZARRE guy!

dear forfeitheads:

you lost 38-14.

nice job cheering your starting qb's injury.

just when i thought i had seen the worst possible behavior from new york fans i stumble across this thread.

don't forget ne got called for a few penalties during the game. penalties are called for a reason. screw the 5 yards. i think you should get a forfeit for those.

man up. you need to get out of the pink panties and summer dress. when you get blown out by a much better team don't start retarded threads asking to have an undeserved win handed to you.

it just makes you look bad.

incredibly tacky and tasteless. but doesn't mean that the cheating should be ignored either.
there should be a penalty, but i think forfeiture is far too harsh. that's up there with secretariats dq in the champagne!

First off, idiot, I am NOT a Jets fan. I don't even like the city of New York. But what's wrong is wrong and if you can't see that a forfeit is the only logical answer, then you are a dope.

And maybe a forfeit is a bit harsh, but there needs to be some sort of penalty. Rules are in place for a reason. It's not like Belichic doesn't know about them. He has been warned about this very issue in the past. What do you think the penalty should be?

This one is a no brainer Hoss......You need to do something that punishes Kraft as much as the other Mr B.

THE PATRIOTS PLAY TWO GAMES AT NEW YORK JETS NEXT YEAR!!!!!

The punishment is both financial and psychological by giving a playing advantage to the team wronged while avoiding the dreaded punishing by draft picks which just means the Patriots use that money on free agents. Mr B would never really serve a suspension as he would still manage the team secretly. If you force the Pats to lose millions in concessions and parking revenue plus try and concentrate before the hostile crowd from hell X 2 you have a quid pro quo where the offense occured. A home game is huge!!!

I wish I could say that the reason the Patriots beat the Rams was because they cheated (although there were something that they didn't show on camera - the receivers were blantantly being held) but it was Get sMartz.
and the completely fabricated tuck rule

Different regime. Safe to say that if the Merriman antics happened this yr, there would be a total different set of punishment levied down.

[skippy3481]

Kraft pays that fine its easy. Either as an end of season bonus, or in his next contract. Kraft is not stupid, there are so many ways to get around it with him not actually "paying" the fine.
