NE got stripped of a first round pick and was given a massive fine to the team and a massive fine to the HC for their first offense for spygate. They obviously didn't learn.

IMO the only truly logical way to deal with this is to hold them accountable by the same measure a cheating player is dealt with.

First round pick X 2.5 = 2 first rounders and a second

The team should be fined 3m MINIMUM

BB should be fined 2m

Now we move along to Tom Brady...

IMO he should be dealt with in either the same way a player is dealt with if he tries to cheat a drug test (6 game suspension) or as a second offender (10 game suspension) because he deliberately he had direct knowledge of them deflating the footballs. He seemingly directed them to do so.

In total...

Patriots lose 2016 first and second rounders and their 2017 first.
Team fined 3m
BB fined 2m
Tom Brady suspended for between 6-10 games
Tom Brady fined 1m

If they deal out a punishment that's less than this, it clearly shows favoritism.

Rulebook says $25,000. BossChief suggests 2 first round picks, a second round pick, $5 million in fines ($2 million of which are on the head coach, who was specifically exonerated) and 6-10 game suspension, or else it "clearly shows favoritism".

Let the hate flow!
