NFL fines Patriots $1.1M, take pick over TV crew

The NFL fined the New England Patriots $1.1 million and took away a a third-round pick in the 2021 draft among punishments for their television crew filming the field and sideline during a Dec. 8 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, league sources said.

In addition, the Patriots' television production crews will not be allowed to shoot any games during the 2020 season, and senior club officials will undergo required training on league operation and game policies.

The Patriots admitted that their production crew inappropriately filmed the field and sideline. The crew was credentialed by the Browns to shoot video for a Patriots web series called "The New England Patriots: More Than Just Cheaters, Liars, and Murders," but the Patriots did not inform the Bengals or the NFL, which they called an "unintended oversight."

"We were only trying to film the sidelines in an illegal fashion so we could gain a competitive advantage," a Patriots statement said at the time. "If that’s cheating, well then I guess we’re cheaters."

When asked why the NFL has not suspended Patriots coach Bill Belichick after what is now his third cheating offense, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said this to say:

“I don’t get what the big deal is. It’s not like he was smoking pot or wearing the wrong color shoe or something. Plus I’ll be honest, Robert Kraft gives great handjobs”.

Robert Kraft is the owner of the New England Patriots. Kraft, a widow, was caught last year getting his junk worked over by multiple Asian prostitutes in a Florida massage parlor. When questioned on the situation, the prostitutes described Kraft’s penis as “basically non-existent” and his balls as “misshapen and foul smelling”.

A Patriots spokesperson confirmed the team won't contest the penalties.

When I clicked on this thread, I thought this WAS the punishment as sort of karma. All in all punishments are coming in full circle.

They are gonna have to really cheat now!

 

[fastforward]

If they get caught a 3rd time it'll be a 6th round pick.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

does that mean, they can buy video from "independant" TV crews that arent subjugated by the NFL?

Belichick always has a loophole. LOL

 

[handicappers]

This is why Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick will never be in the HOF.

All the cheating has left a stain.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Patriots were fined $1.1 million and will lose their 2021 third-round pick for filming the Bengals sideline.
The Cam Newton signing was announced literally 16 minutes before this massive story. It's a news dump that will be taught in PR classes for decades. Coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft deserve all the credit in the world for the past two decades of Lombardi hoisting, but this is not the first time they have been punished for cheating. This is the most laughable, however, as they sent a few staffers to spy on the coaches of a 1-12 Bengals team. The true consequence of this inexcusable offense is further tarnish to Belichick and Kraft's legacies, not the relatively minor fine and loss of a forgettable Day 2 pick.

Did they really need a competetive edge on the freaking bengals?

Not a chance.
