What Should The Patriot's Punishment Be?
Choose all that are necessary.
I say take the W away from them make them 0-0 again
thats the punishment you would get for Rugby League over here docking Points
teams get punished for going over the salary cap that way this is even more serious
I might be bias coz I hate the cunts but yeah either that or a 1st round draft pick not that it wil matter they will be 32nd pick there going 19-0 this year
I must have missed something. What happened? :unsure:

yes and be 0-1 but would that also make the jets 0-1? It wouldnt make a difference anyway that team looks unstoppable this year regarless if they cheat
I say forfeit the games + fine

NEW YORK — New England coach Bill Belichick was fined the NFL maximum of $500,000 Thursday and the Patriots were ordered to pay $250,000 for videotaping an opponent's offensive and defensive signals.
Commissioner Roger Goodell also ordered the team to give up next year's first-round draft choice if it reaches the playoffs and second- and third-round picks if it doesn't.
"This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid longstanding rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest competition on the playing field," Goodell said in a letter to the Patriots.
Didn't even know they had a rule against that. I thought it was apart of all sports to steal signs which is why you change the signs.
It would make them 0-1.:dry:Quote:

It would have been perfect to make an example of a team that has had 3 SB wins in this decade and it would have given a win to a rival coach in the same division.
That could have made a difference in the playoffs.
you couldnt make them 0-1 because they didnt lose the game though and the jets didnt win it
NE should stay at 0-0 if its win taken away and the jets at 0-1
well.. thats kinda the way its done here if a team trys to cheat for example have more players on the field they have competition points taken away from them (2 for a win ) and thats it
giving the Jets the win isnt fair for other teams going for a playoff game if they finish level
I agree with your last sentence. However, a forfeit around here means the other team won by default.Quote:
