Now, don't get me wrong: New England probably did deserve to be punished by the commissioner for getting caught videotaping New York's defensive staff as it signaled plays in to its players. But a first-round draft pick? Methinks the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
Is this really worse, for instance, than Mike Tice scalping Super Bowl tickets? Or a Detroit assistant coach getting caught naked at a drive-in? It's common knowledge (trust me) that teams look at defensive signals through binoculars, and have been doing so for years. That the Pats took another step, and started taping them, is a clear violation of an NFL edict. But make no mistake: they're not the only people trying to learn their opponents' signals. That's a practice as tried and true as eye black.
So is the fact that they used videotape so heinous that we should have 31 first-round draft picks in the '08 draft, instead of 32? Let me put it this way: There's no way on Earth the commissioner takes away the Patriots' first-rounder if they hadn't had two (one from San Francisco, and their own). But because the Pats did have two, Roger Goodell could "make an example" of them, and show his critics that he's not the butt-boy of Bob Kraft, one of Goodell's biggest supporters on his way to winning the commissioner's job. The world will keep spinning on its axis, but this heavy-handed punishment does not fit the crime.

Mike Golic on ESPN said it best. This is about Goodell making an example of them. The punishment is worse than the crime. This is a minor rule infraction, not steroids, not a player carrying guns, or killing dogs. Come on people.

Yeah it is worse than vick u idiot. U know that they could have been cheating these past 10 years.That would mean no 3 superbowls and no fame for the New England Patriots. This might have changed alot in football history. And plus they might have had more than 1 spy not just the guy that got caught.

The tape did not contribute to game, the tape and camera along with the cameraman was confiscated before the pats got it back.
