$500K for Belichick, $250K for the Pats... peanuts.
1st round draft pick if they make the playoffs and 2nd and 3rd round picks if they don't... now that hurts!
Thank you NFL for bringing the hammer down!

Cheaters!
Leave it to those Patriots to have to cheat to compete with the Colts.

Hey Steve - aren't they just using technology to defend our homeland? See the link:

I still don't understand the big deal. The Pats were either arrogant or stupid (or both) to film it on the sideline, but anyone can film signals from the coach's box. Now if they had sent a spy to their training camp when signals were shared, that would be a different story.
I'm not a Pats fan, but "have to cheat to compete with the Colts"? The Pats still have 3 Super Bowl titles this decade and the Colts needed a furious rally last year to prevent a 4th.
It's all about the arrogance DK... I still say Belichick got off light.
How have the Pats done against the Colts the last 2 years? 0-2 last year, 0-1 the previous while playing 2 of those 3 in Foxboro. And this year the Pats come to Indy finally. Nothing like an 0-3 streak to drive a coach to cheat ;-)
So you think Belichick just STARTED "cheating" BECAUSE of a 3-game losing streak to the Colts? In a game against the Jets? I have a tough time believing that. I think it has a lot more to do with Mangini being the Jets' coach and Goodell being the new "tough guy" commissioner.
I agree with the arrogance point but I still do not see what the big deal is. And I can't understand why nobody in the NFL or the media (what else is new) has explained why filming from the sideline is such a competitive advantage versus filming from the "legal" filming areas. Cameras from the upper deck can still get very good closeups of coaches' signals. And they ARE signals. So what is the competitive advantage?
