Patriots punishment

The Jets dont really deserve to benefit from a stupid Patriot Act though.

Hows about the Jets still keep their loss, and the Patriots are also given a loss. I like that. Yes... I think I do.

Stealing signs is a big deal? It is ok for 90% of the league to be juiced to the gills but we should take away a win for videotaping signs? I always thought they should try to tap into the headphones and call in phony plays.

Stealing signs the old fashioned way is one thing. Stealing signs using a camera when the rules explicitly ban that AND you've already been warned for doing it is a much bigger offense and deserves a serious punishment. A slap on the wrist and you will have every team with a camera on their sidelines stealing signs next week. It will become horse racing.

And I don't think much of the league is on steroids anymore, close to 90% is probably on HGH though.

Oh, and the punishment should somehow require Belichick to give a hug of apology to Mangini after he shoves a cameraman.

I can't believe there are 45 posts about this.

It's not as though you can gain a real meaningfull edge in the game by doing what NE was caught doing.

I would think it is something that might help them against that team when they meet them down the line.

To me, it's much ado about nothing.

Though, it goes to show what silly lengths NE will go to in order to try and gain the ever so slightest of advantages.

What else would you expect from a steroid trainer? They gunna get rid of that stuff? Seems only the horseracing industry considers that stuff healthfood for horses.

Juan Pierre could use a dose

Interesting penalty
Coach must pay 500k fine
Team must pay 250k fine
If they make the playoffs they lose their first round pick in 08

It is.
They put a bit of a hurt on them if they succeed.
Kinda neat idea.

that's a pretty severe penalty.

hopefully the nut cases demanding a forfeit can untangle their panties and get back to life now.

Really its just the draft pick, Kraft will cover the fine. First round pick is a big hit though.

The NFL missed an opportunity to hold Kraft responsible for his team's sins...that was a mistake. The Patriots will find a way to pay Bill's fine and the #1 will just have his money spent on a upper level free agent.

people are nut cases because they disagree with you on the penalty? Obviously you are a Pats fan. How can you say it did not affect the outcome of the game? A Jets player was quoted as saying, before this came out, that it was like the Pats knew what the Jets were going to do on every play. I wonder how.

Yeah,but what do you ya do about the fact he is so stupid, though? ...ONE NIGHT,VIN SCULLY said he expected Pierre to be a much better bunter than he is.Atleast Furcal can do that.He squeezed a run in tonight that way.Furcal routinely get hits late in games,because he bunts to the shortstop.If he gets it by the pitcher and the 3rd baseman(and he does,) then there is no way the shortstop can throw him out.We have the dumbest centerfielder/rightfielder combo in all of baseball.KEMP simply can't remember to look at a 3rd base coach.For some reason,he thinks it's up to the runner to decide whether to try to score from 1st or 2nd....2 nice games to get to 1 1/2 games out of the wildcard.Now is when they have usually "let down" routinely this year,and given up games in stupid ways.They can't seem to maintain their intensity(like I said,2 of them are cork-head stupid.)They gotta dump Grady if they don't make the post.Too much young talent to let that Grady be chief.Wouldn't mind getting Joe Girardi next year.Broxton got over the two losses he caused last weekend.All it took was the 2 for $2.22 deal they came out with at Der Weinerschneitzel( a chilly-cheese dog + a chilly cheeseburger ...for 222.)....Hog Heaven.
