The scandal known as Spygate is about to conclude. Actually, that's not right. It concluded months ago, with the New England Patriots paying a big fine and losing a first-round pick. We just didn't know it was done at the time. At the time, we are told, Belichick admitted to commissioner Roger Goodell that he had recorded opposing coaches' signals for years. Goodell levied his punishment, with the understanding that if anything else surfaced, the Pats could get in trouble again. Nothing else of substance has surfaced. Former Patriots employee Matt Walsh was supposedly going to spill the beans, but as it turns out, they were old beans. Goodell had seen those beans already. This is all fine and good, except for one thing: Goodell's punishment was not strong enough in the first place. link to story http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8128866/Goodell-is-letting-Patriots-off-way-too-easy
I agree. Theres no way that punishment was strong enough. Especially since they had 2 first round picks. If they were only going to take away 1 first rounder, at least take away the early one. Personally They should have lost ALL first round picks this year, and a first next year as well. Bill should have been suspended for a year, and all fines should have been doubled. But maybe thats too harsh... but i do hate the patriots. hah
Pats should have lost an entire draft and Belicheat should have been suspended for a year. Goodell is just a puppet for the owners so the punishment wasn't as bad as it should have been.
