Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
Some guy named Kraft is selling lots of video equiptment on Ebay . Im glad they took away the # 1 and 500K !! Lets face it , all teams try and pick up the hand signals during games < Baseball & football > ect. How many of you remember opening day 1978 .............. we played at New England ,,, found a Patriots playbook in the locker room before the game ,,,, and spanked them .

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
Sorry but not enough. Any team in this league would trade 750K and their first rounder for a SB. They needed to be punished with something that was a clear competitive disadvantage. A loss of all picks in the first three rounds and an 8 game suspension is what he should have done. That would have been a WOAH type punishment that would act as a deterrent.

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
I definately think that, in addition to the fine and loss of a draft pick or picks, Belichick should have been suspended. If the Dallas QB coach gets a suspension for using HGH for personal reasons, I think Belichick should have been suspended for repeatedly violating NFL rules to gain a competitive advantage.

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
I expected a suspension, but then heard somone on ESPN saying something to the effect that he still would be coaching behing the scenes via phone, etc.
I think the 500k sends a big message, and actually might make a dent in his pocketbook. Of course, now his WIFE is going to be pissed at him, so that will be another cross to bear. J-Dawg

Doesn't surprise me that he is divorced, the guy seems like he would be a real dick.

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
I don't care how you slice it, 500K is a nice chunk! That's not like some parking ticket. He'll remember it for the rest of his career, and you know what so will the fans.
I think while a suspension could have been in order, no question this is a very satisfactory fine. One thing is for sure, Goodell didn't let him off the hook easy. |

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
The degree of the draft picks remains to be seen...but I think we can all agree on one thing.....Roger Goodell is NOT screwing around...a first round pick to any team weather it be first or thirty second is a big freaking deal...its not like he said they dont have a say, fifth round pick. I mean yeah maybe they win the super bowl and its not a HUGE deal...but I think it still defintley sends the message its supposed too.

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
I think this was as harsh as anyone could have hoped for, a suspension notwithstanding. Is this the largest fine for an NFL head coach ever? Come on, Warpathians do the research!

Re: Patriots and Belichick Fined, Docked Draft Pick
Wade Wilson was also fined 100k for using HGH.
This punishment doesn't feel like it's enough imo. He was arrogant enough to try and use the cameras against the guy who was on his coaching staff and knew what went on. He'll probably be arrogant enough to try this again in the future.
