"DeflateGate" and the never-ending saga of cheating New England Patriot.

The Patriots have been indicted, and convicted of basically of felony conspiracy for their role on removing the air from the ball during the AFC division championship against Indianapolis Colts.

Their fine:

Brady will miss 4 games (which is a freagin joke, considering he and his wife are millionaires);

New England is fined 1 million dollars (after the team prolly made millions during the super bowl),

New England will lose 1 first round draft pick (although I thought it was 2 first round draft pick) and 2 4th round pick (even though i thought it was 1 4th round pick). The patriots got lucky with a six round pick. Who knows? Maybe, they'll get lucky again. Question regarding this. Who gets their 1st pick? I personally believe it should go to the Indiana Colts since they were cheated.

Why isn't the Feds investigating this? I honestly thought the Patriots were "point shaving" in the sense that they were trying to prevent Drew Breeze from scoring any points via his passes.

Does the punishment fit the crime? Personally, the patriots should have been suspended for an entire season because this isn't the first time they've conspired to rob other teams of a win because of consistent cheating. They should have been banned from playing in the AFC division to allow the Colts to compete in the super bowl.

Roger Goodell fails to disappoint the fans and integrity of the game by allowing the corporate ventriloquist to influence his decision.

Shame shame shame
