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.

The NFL has made a very big deal about this BEFORE this act. Why is it illegal? Because it gives advantage. Why did the owners and commish vote this rule in?

It is a big deal. Every team and coach knows this is ILLEGAL. No its not a crime outside of the game so comparing it to what Pacman does is irrelevant (not to say you were).

No way they take a game away from Patriots, I just wish they would. That would have a huge effect on Belechick.
