I don't know Wil, a half a million we're talking! What does BB make? The Kraftys will probably pick up that tab but alot of $$$ I expected they woiuld suspend him from coaching the rematch with NYJ's - that would have made more sense. The #1 pick is pretty harsh no matter how you cut, a heavy penalty for gaining so little. Like everyone else said, they did not need this. THe bigger thing here is that they are establishing precedent for any other team who is also doing it or thinking about it. In the end I don't have a problem with fine, just harsh and had it been a middle-fiddle team the fine is not so severe.
This also can just be the kind the thing that can bring a team together with the old us against the world philosophy.
Personally I find it hard to believe they are even favorites this week against a very strong Chargers team. The proof of the pudding could come as early as this Sunday regarding how good this team is. Of course regardless of the outcome this week, if Brady stays healthy it will be hard for them to not win the AFC East but how far they go in the playoffs is a question we may get a clue to as early as week two.

Rob, I heard that when I was eating dinner and damn near fell out of my chair! 100 fuqqn MIL!?!?!? I know little about autos but damn! In the end with the Pats it won't be a big hit you're right. The bigger thing here is a rule is now in place. The other old fashioned sign-stealing techniques will continue like it's always been, cheaters all really.
Hey Muddy - pretty funny clip BTW!
