A lot of people blow red lights, but not all of them get tickets...If I blow 10 red lights and never get caught, but you blow 3 and get caught each time, you should be punished for it -- moreso each time you do it because you are consistently breaking the law and you are a known offender. Also, if this is an issue that is so prevalent, then it should be addressed and either everyone gets punished for it, or they amend the rules.

if you fine the owners, they won't even care. they will always be the ones making money. the nfl needs to take away draft picks or enforce their salary cap.

Hmm. So three things that many teams do. OK.

Why would you fine Kraft?


Because he's the head of the organization. Think of it like a business -- if you work in the medical profession, and one senior management commits a HIPAA violation, the company is liable and will be forced to pay damages. Same principle. NOT TO MENTION -- this isn't an isolated instance. Patriots have been getting in trouble for multiple infractions for multiple years now; all of them with trying to gain an unfair advantage over their opponent. Fine Kraft a million dollars and give that money to some charity.


List the infractions.

the only thing that might actually hurt their team is draft picks. every professional sports team has the money to pay for all their players.

Apparently coaches at the senior bowl scouting are annoyed that this is such a big issue in the media. But I agree peta that would be really funny to see, personally I think any notion of "tarnished super bowls" is ludicrous and is just blowing smoke up don shulas butt

I sincerely hope they do. I want them to get caught cheating and then kill the Seahawks for maximum frustration.

Who cares

Gentle reminder that once again the NFL has not proven the patriots deflated those balls

They should take away a first-round draft pick since the Pats always trade it away anyway.

The solution is to fine Kraft, Fine and suspend Belichik for several games, fine Brady. I'd also add another draft pick forfeiture because of the constant strikes against the team.
