Listen. Yes we filmed them. No we didn't alert the Bengals or the NFL. Yes they filmed the actual sideline using signals.
But see these employees of Robert Kraft are totally not related.
You might even say no collusion. No vid go pro
Or you might say there was no "intent" to break the rules when they were breaking the rules. It was only video about golf and grand kids. Or even better, you CAN KEEP YOUR POLITICAL BULLSHIT OUT OF THE FOOTBALL FORUM AND KEEP IT IN DC YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG. [Reply]
You can’t give some slight punishment if they’re found guilty of anything. They’ve cheated what, 3 or 4 times? That’s just the ones we know of. And they still don’t stop.
The punishment has to be so severe that it essentially guarantees them to suck for at least 5 years, and likely 10. [Reply]

How do you suspend Sean Payton for Bountygate but not at a minimum do the same with Belichick for their third instance of cheating? [Reply]

I agree.
If a team has organized efforts to cheat like this, they shouldn’t just lose 1 game, or draft picks...this needs a swift blow. Send a message that this won’t be tolerated in this game.
Ineligibility for the postseason is the only truly worthwhile penalty for a repeat offender.
At this point, NE should be declared ineligible for postseason play this year and next and BB should be banned and not allowed in the HOF Pete Rose style.
Otherwise, cheating is condoned and the only consequence are repeated slaps on the wrist. [Reply]

There's this idea that some teams do these types of things. But there is not a SINGLE organization that gets accused of this the way the Pats do. It's respectable guys like Dungy and Peyton and Spags. Haley was nuts but McDaniel was the one guy he pointed a finger at. McDermott shooing Pats assistants off the field.
At what point do the other 31 owners all combine forces to finish the job? Clearly other teams are sick of this. Kraft may have money and influence, but not as much as 31 other billionaires. [Reply]
