Patriots punishment from Spygate 2.0

[HammerDown]

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

Are you kidding? Their lawyers are the ones who told the NFL what the penalties would be.

 

[HammerDown]

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

Yes.

Yes.

NW will shortly respond with his patented response, "But they didn't do anything wrong it's perfectly legal.... " . To be honest they may as well cheat and win bowls with those minor penalties. Complete joke.

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

All the cheating has left a stain.

you serious clark?

On a handshake the NFL handed the Pats carte blanche the key to the Super Bowl. The only caveat was, "you get caught, we have to pretend to penalize you and you have to pay it." They have nothing to lose. Show up week one, be guaranteed a first-round bye and an unfair competitive advantage on every single opponent every single week and if anybody fucks up too bad, they die.

Really, am I exaggerating here?

Should have made BB give krafty a hand job that would have been a million times more of a punishment.... Maybe just maybe BB would finally stop it.

 

[HammerDown]

Looks like Pats fans are going to just pretend that this latest penalty for cheating isn't even happening.

That or it's just become so ordinary that no one even notices any more? Yeah, that's probably it.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

A small speed bump.

 

[jarntt]

Cheaters cheat...anyone surprised? Only question is when do they get caught next and for what...

 

[Carnzo]

This was a mistake for sure.
I mean the Bengals for God's sake!
Have at it Hammerdown. They deserve the abuse for this one.

 

[CaptainStubing]

meh, at this point, we all know they are going to push the envelope and skirt some rules. There's just too many things that have happened through the years to say they will just suddenly quit doing it. And they will keep winning.

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.

Should have run it in.....
