Ouch, a 1st rounder is going to really hurt.Yeah, but not nearly as much as it would hurt...say us for example.
It will have a good sized effect on the future of their team, but by the time it actually takes effect (that is other teams are getting production from their first rounders in 2008 while the Pats aren't), this event will be so far in the rear view mirror that no one will even suggest that the fall off could be attributable to this.
Essentially, this hurts the team indirectly, but hardly at all directly.

I think they have 2 first rounders next year too

I would have preferred a lifetime ban. $500,000 seems like a lot, but I'm sure Kraft will make it up to him.

500 grand is a lot to us, but to a coach like Belichick it's probably not a lot. As for the draft pick they are gonna lose, they already have another one (that's more likely to be higher than their original) so it won't make much of an impact at all. I wanted to see Belichick suspended, but I guess that won't happen. Everyone says that fines make huge impacts but when you consider the amount of money they are getting paid it's little more than a slap on the wrist.

so what happens to that first? Give it to the worst team in the league maybe?
Nobody gets it. Every team behind them just moves up a spot.

Some guy named Kraft is selling lots of video equiptment on Ebay . Im glad they took away the # 1 and 500K !! Lets face it , all teams try and pick up the hand signals during games < Baseball & football > ect. How many of you remember opening day 1978 .............. we played at New England ,,, found a Patriots playbook in the locker room before the game ,,,, and spanked them .

But what about the Patriots pick? Who gets that?
