pats should be forced to give up all 3 of their recent SB titles.

also, how stupid is mangini? rat on the pats and said they've been doing it for years...so does this mean he cheated too?

that's like robbing a store with a buddy and then rat him out a year later

when you learn half the other team is fighting the flu, that's not cheating?? But wait, crybaby GM Bill Polan is on the competition
committee (wahhh, the Pats DB'S are too rough, lets change the rules) so these incidents get swept under the rug. Not defending what
Belichick was doing, it was wrong and they will pay the price but please, get off your high horse and get a clue..

Unfortunately, douchebag, your own article shows nothing was ever proven. If you ever go to the Dome you'll know that piped in noise isn't necessary anyway. It got to white-noise levels last year during the playoffs, based solely on passionate fans and the acoustics. Polian has no secret plan with the NFL for the Colts to be successful. Why would so many of his talent-filled teams fare so poorly in the post-season (up until last year anyway) if he had such a deal?

And this isn't a "other teams cheat so it's ok" topic. It's about the proven cheaters, the New England Cheatriots.

Fortunately, (insert e- penis here), these incidents are fact, nothing needs to be
proven. There were in fact mics on poles to "pump" up the noise, why else would
they be there. And what, did the dome's climate control system malfunction during
last years AFC title game causing the temp to rise to 85?? No, the GM knew he
could get an advantage AND not get busted for it. As a Patriot fan however I must
admit coach B is a total ass for bringing this kind of shame to the organization and
the fans, damage has been done. As for those who would like to place an asterisk
next to the Pat's 3 super bowl rings, if they were stealing signs they would have
had a better second half if they knew the other teams signals by halftime but in
every game they had to hold on for dear life to win in the end(thanks Adam V)..

News just broke. Pat's lose their 08' first round pick and $750,000 in fines.

So, the 32nd pick and $750,000 in fines?
I'm assuming the 49ers pick that they own is not subject to forfeited.
That's correct so if the 49ers suck this yeat the Pats will have a high first round draft pick!
It also seems that the NFL didn't believe that the Pats used these video's during game time so there was no forfieture of the game
