The Patriots have two #1 picks next year anyway, so losing one, while painful, isn't as dramatic as it might appear.

I do agree this may be the tip of the iceberg if the other allegations which, apparenlty have been made by several teams, prove true.

but hey, I have the Patriots defense and two of the offensive players on my fantasy team, so if they get hyped and perform better, it's all good. :)

I wonder....no suspensions...and small fine...wow

Remember, sports commissioners (NFL, MLB, NBA) are hired by, and work for the owners. Reports are that Patriot's owner Bob Kraft and Goodell are good friends.

They also had Rodney Harrison hopped up on illegal substances...

Then, the Pats are filming other teams and the fines assessed--I am amazed that other teams haven't been caught with all the technology...

Yes $750,000 is not that much and losing a first round draft pick, but I sure don't have that kinna money so I, myself have the "sticker shock"...

The Lions, two weeks in a row... Must be global warming? Sun spots? Lunar eclipse? <shrug> Who knows, but they are 2-0 and that's amazing.
