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.

TonyB:

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"...
