You know what really pi**es me off about all of this? The NFL punished the Pats* he way they did because they thought this was just occurring during the 2006-2007 season. So, they punished them for that 1 season because they thought, at the time they released the punishment, that it was a 1 season thing.
Since the, it has come out that the Pats* have been doing this since 2000!!! So, that is AT LEAST 7-8 full seasons having a competitive advantage. I say, the punishment may have fit the crime for 1 season ($750,000 in total fines and taking away their first round pick). Since they have now discovered that this has been happening for 7-8 seasons and not just 1, I think the league should fine them $750,000 take away a competitive advantage (1st round pick) each of the next 7 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, they had a competitive advantage over EVERYONE in the league. Now, it is only fair that the rest of the NFL have a competitive advantage over them for the same amount of time! So, take away the Pats* 1st round (maybe even a 2nd or 3rd as well) for each of the next 7 seasons!!!!!!!
What goes around comes around. And they got off with a slap on the wrist. They need to be punished for every season that they did this. I thick taking away their top draft picks every year for the next 7 should be the minimum punishment.
