Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
3 Superbowl rings for a fine and a lost draft pick... well worth it for the Pats.
I still like the Pats. I'm sure they're not the only team out there doing this sort of stuff... just maybe not as extreme. They're just the only ones who got caught and made an example out of. |

Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
So What!
Everything is on film these days anyway. Sometimes while watching the game on TV they'll show the D-cord making signals to the defense. So if these calls are so secret give the defensive coaches head sets. And people been stealing signals for years thats why every O-cord and/or head coach in this league cover their mouths when they call plays. Get over it! They were fined. Lets move on. I guess those tapes had something to do with Donavan McNabb getting so tired in the SuperBowl that he couldn't call the play. Or had something to do with that last pick he through. I DOUBT IT. I guess the tapes also had something to do with the blueprint that Bill gave the rest of the 3-4 defensive teams on how to frustrate Peyton Manning. PROBABLY NOT! Losers always hate on winners. Bring on TAMPA!! The pats game plan, and draft well. This is the organization I wish the Saints were like. |
The best conerback tandem in the league reside in the N.O.

... and, the thing is, they just didn't "get caught"... there's a history, and the Pats had been warned to stop doing it. The monetary penalty as well as the draft pick may be 'a small price", but not the label of "cheater", which pretty much makes that "dynasty" talk crumble. |

Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
Not enough, u do know the Pat's have 2 first round picks next year. So taking 1 of them only helps them with dealing with trying to pay 2 first rounders. And do you really think a dollar of that $500K will come from Belichick wallet? If anybody do, growup.

Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
I think the penalty is harsh enough already. What else do people want? Strip their Superbowl titles? They committed a crime... and dealing with the consequences.
They're still a very good team with a smart coach, great quarterback, and players at every skill position. With or without stealing signals, they'll have no problem winning games this year. And should they win a Superbowl this year, it'll quiet all this talk. |

Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
none the less, it does put a blemish on their accomplishments in my mind...
sort of like an asterisk at the beginning of a record...... he should have been suspended for so many games to say the least..... a slap on the hand will not stop this, only open the doors for new ideas how to keep it going..... the commish blew this one................ he had a chance to make people think twice about doing this and now they'll continue to think it'll be a fine and draft pick.... would you take a superbowl over a fine a draft pick? |

Re: Belichick fined $500K by NFL for taping Jets' signals
and you know they've been doing it forever. Now we'll never know if Bellichick is really good or not. He wasn't crap until he started cheating and that was when he became head coach of the Patriots. What a freaking shame. They should put this guy in the cell with Convick.
We'll see how good Brady and the Patriots really are now. It will take a little time for all of the teams to change up for the Patriots since they already have alot of film (cheaters).
