So now we learn that Bill Belichick, Head Coach for the New England Patriots, has has been illegally taping the New Yorks Jets since the year 2000! Furthermore, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been trying to get a hold of former Patriots employee Matt Walsh on the suspicion of taping a walk through practice by the St. Louis Rams before the 2002 Super Bowl. Now if you all remember, the Patriots came in as the two-touchdown underdog, and they ended up winning the Super Bowl that year in New Orleans.
What did the NFL do to Bill Belichick and the Patriots team? They slapped Bill Bilichick with a $500,000 fine. The Patriots were given a $250,000 fine and forfeited a 1st round draft pick.
Are you freakin' serious? That's it??? What the hell is wrong with the NFL? In the NCAA if it is found that your team cheats or breaks any other rule, the school's athletics division is seriously punished. Anywhere from fines, firing of coaches, to not being allowed to compete in Championship games. Does the NFL really think that slapping Bill Belichick with a $500,000 fine is going to do any good? That fine is only about 12% of his reported 4.3 million dollar a year salary. And the New England Patriots franchise, is $250,000 really going to hurt them? YEAH RIGHT! Is forfeiting a 1st round draft pick going to hurt the number one team in the NFL? Don't make me laugh.
The NFL's investigation on Spygate is/was about as worthless as the 9/11 commission. Yeah it proved they messed up. Is anyone going to take the blame and be seriously punished? Nope. I don't understand why the NFL does not have a "No Tolerance" policy on cheating. Bill Belichick should have been fired. The Patriots should not even be allowed to participate in the NFL Draft. In fact, like Sherrif Joe Arpaio, I think the NFL should make New England Patriots play in pink jerseys! Why? Because only pussies cheat!
