overplayed.. but the issue needed to be addressed and im glad it happend to the pats they have a history of pushing the envelope on this subject. other teams do similar things, video camera is not necessary. binoculars and a quick witted mind will do the trick as well..

LMAO At The Idiots Who Keep Bringing Other Teams & Are Saying What Other Teams Have Done In The Past. I'm Not Even Going To Say The Team, It's The HEAD COACH!! Of Course They Cheated In The Past Nobody Will Keep Repeating The Same Accusations If It Isn't True. Bill Is A Very Well Respected Coach. Nobody Would Keep Saying The Cycle Going.

Regardless of the penalty, it's an issue of integrity and pride. I seriously doubt, now that the coaching staff of New England have been exposed and blown up by the media, that they would continue with these actions. Considering Belichick's reputation of one of the smartest coaches in the league. Not to mention the ownership was effected, Robert Kraft doesn't want to look bad either...and i know this hurts Patriots fans as well, because they don't want their heroic Pats to win with a handicap making them look like they're not good enough. Also, other fans and SOME players (L.T.) have been looking for a good reason to despise this team. I expect this team to clean up their act no matter what the outcome is this Friday, because if they do win the superbowl this year....it's gonna sound a whole lot like when Barry Bonds broke the home run record "Nah he cheated." Honestly, the worst punishment out of this would simply be the pats losing from here on out, people will say "i guess they can't win without cheating" and living with that would have to be the worse feeling.

I am sure they were not the first to do it, but they were the first to get caught. Being that what they did will effect the outcome of the game, they should receive a strict punishment. In order to ensure this does not happen again, the punishment has to be severe. I am sure more teams will be guilty of this also. At this point the media should just leave it alone until there is something new to talk about. There is reason to throw knives at people and accuse them, when you do not know who is guilty of ordering it.

I don't think "everyone does it". I think the Pats struck a new low. If I were the commish, I'd levy a heafty fine and suspension for the Head Coach. Or possibly take away their draft pick.
Now on a personal note, I think thats why Brady was so good. They just picked apart the defense, because they knew what defense they were running. Just a bunch of cheaters.
Oh BTW the green dots are helmets with radio receivers.

While other or all teams may do it New England got caught. I feel they should have to forfiet the game along with fines and a suspension. Taking away draft picks does nothing. If they get caught again then they should be inelligable for post season.

I agree with you 100%, Michael Vick should be banned from the NFL. He should be thrown into a jail cell with pit-bulls.
I have no idea what all the green dots are for on the back of the Quarterback's helmets?
Sincerely,
Going crazy!

It had happened before and New England was caught but it was not reported (last year the Packers). They should be punished enough that other teams will think twice before they do it and hopefully for the honesty they should possess or for the sake of the game do not do it and play the best game they can on their efforts.

I think they should have to forfeit the game. That is the only way to ensure that teams actually stop doing it. If they take away draft picks the Patriots are smart enough to replace them through a trade or just invite a bunch more people to tryout.

Getting blown way out of proportion! Of course when you are the best, there will always be someone that wants to knock you down a peg or two. To question every Superbowl win is just ridiculos. They will show every one how good they are again this year, and then what excuse will everyone have for their teams losing??
