A total lie. It was like a half-million fine and they would lose a first round draft pick if they get to the Super Bowl and if they didn't they would lose a 2nd or 3rd round.

They are definitely NOT booted from the Superbowl.
"The Patriots were fined $250,000 and forced to forfeit a first-round draft pick next year for allegedly recording the New York Jets' defensive signals during a game in September. In addition, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000."

This is one of the dumbest things I've heard, and I've heard some dumb stuff. What are they going to do, have buffalo go to the playoffs instead of the pats? Suppose buffalo then wins the superbowl, do they deserve an astrisk?
You're listening to the wrong people, although I noticed you didn't give a reference. Where did you hear that, from the guy sitting next to you at the bar?
The Pats are going to win the superbowl, and likely will be 19-0 this year. They're the greatest football team of all time.

Well your hear completely wrong!! The Pat's didn't cheat!! They were attempting to cheat!! There is a difference between doing something and actually doing something!!!
It was caught the first game of the season before the pat's even had a chance to look at the spycam. It was stopped. So yes they attempted. HOwever no they didn't cheat!! There is a difference between attempting to get behind the wheel of a car and drive drunk and actually getting behind the wheel of a car and driving while intoxicated!!
The Pat's got in trouble and fined for breaking an NFL rule. NOT FOR CHEATING!!

No from what I heard they're not disqualified but they might get an asterisk on their win if they win the Super bowl.

Any Super Bowl victory by the Patriots is now tainted.

Nope, Belechick got fined like quarter of a million bucks, and they lost the first round draft pick.

only by the fans who care about the game of football, but not by the nfl itself why would they disqualify them they have invested alot of time and money into giving the patsies the push and they also helped them cover-up on the cheating scandel

...dont think so.
...where do people come up with this stuff.....???
..just another rumor...
....for all the fans of ...other teams....who cant let anything go....
......If every friggin team in the NFL ....or any sport.....had a "life sentence" cus they broke some damn rule, there'd be no damn football anymore....
Let it go, ...and get over it,...
The pats made a mistake.....and just cus they're undefeated...no one can talk about anything else, ..its pathetic already.
The pats will play the play offs and the super bowl...and they'll win "fair and square"......then hopefully everyone who speaks otherwise can finally shut their mouths, ...thankfully!
