What a joke. 1st time you cheat you lose a 1st round pick. They do it again so now the NFL is really going to send a stronger message by taking a 3rd round pick.

What the hell did Belichick care about some random sideline video of a Browns/Bengals game? If he wanted to tape their sideline he could have had it done easily without anyone knowing. IMO of course.

Bellicheat was fined $500K personally and lost his 1st round pick for Spygate. The Pats were fined $250K for Spygate. This time Bill loses one of his 3rd round picks and the Pats get a $1.1M fine. Maybe the thought is hold Kraft responsible for Bill's cheating and maybe it rolls downhill? The league should suspend Bellicheat's ass for a season, take away draft picks, force him to fire his coordinator's, and levy fines. Just ask Sean Payton.

Except that nobody has a dimes worth of evidence Belichick had anything to do with this.

Belichick owned spygate lock, stock, and barrel, but this? This wasn't Belichick. Again, IMO.
