I never said turn a blind eye to it. I said the Gov is looking at small potato's and if they were truly concerned they would start where it's obviouse.

Should a team be punished yes. How is the question. Several of you are suggesting taking away the SB rings from them and giving the game to the opponent. This is not the Olympics. All I'm saying is "If" proven then deside on a decent punishment and move on. Let all the teams know that the rule will be enforced and move on. but to try to go back in history and fix the problem is dumb.

Perhaps more monitary punishment and a yr suspension if the coach was a part of this thing. Heck I felt he should have been suspended a yr for the first incident. He should not have been allowed to coach this yr.

This coming from someone who adopted the Patriots as there second team. Do I like them? not this yr. I did not like the whole taping issues from the beggining. I also did not like the fact they ran up the score on the Skins. My last observation is that they are cocky. It's one thing to be humble and win all those games but all I have seen is a cocky Brady. Cocky Seau and several other teamates.

Go Giants.
