The commissioner just fined the patriots and their head coach $750K and took a way one or two draft choices for videotaping opponents signals last sunday. Guilty as charged for cheating.

Silly...if you're not cheating, you're not trying.

who gives a f**k except the patriots.

They may have been fined, but they are still one hell of a football team with Moss and Seau....they kick ass!

Makes me wonder, what other teams have done the same thing....but just havent got caught.

I think the same thing how many teams have done it and have gotten away with it, but the Patriots are still a great team and will have no problem making it to the superbowl when the time comes...we didn't get Brady in a first round draft pick.

I said in another topic, in the immortal words of a truly great American, Al Bundy:

"It's only cheating if you get caught."

Well, Patriots:

YOU GOT CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, we used to have to listen to you clowns bray like the jackasses you are about how "We're successful, cause we're a TEAM!".

No, you're successful cause yer a bunch of cheaters!

In addition to the punishment handed down(which really isn't much more than a slap on the wrist), the NFL should borrow a page from the college ranks, and ban the Pats from the postseason for 2-3 years.

Actually Willy_cents - the Patriots were not fined for taping other teams signals - that is NOT against the NFL rules. Every team does this. They were fined for having a video camera on the sidelines. That is what is against the rules. If the guy shooting the video were taping the cheerleaders - they would have recieved the same fine.

patriots suck....flatly...
