Cheaters gonna cheat. Yup. Or another one i hear a lot is.... "all teams do it. if you're not cheating , you're not trying hard enough". If all teams are doing it, how come no one else is getting caught doing it? Cheatriot fans are pathetic. 10 hours ago, Peace Frog said: Their wrists must be getting sore by now; slaps hurt after so many. Amirite? In the case of Kraft, i would say he's too busy getting a "rub and tug" to notice the slap on the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah.... it's possible that all team are doing it. But then again, it's also possible for me to run to be POTUS. However very unlikely. ? I would think that with as often as the Patsies have been caught cheating, that if other teams were actually cheating, they would get just as caught.... Just saying. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 They wait until the (far too light) penalty gets announced to sign Cam. Way to distract the media.

LABILLBACKER Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) They've turned cheating into an art form. They know they have the shield wrapped around their championship ring fingers. Then they conveniently announce Cam's signing on the day they get their little slap on the wrist. Priceless.......

Until the NFL drops the hammer on Belicheat he will find ways of breaking g the rules. Want this guy to stop, $10 million in salary cap space and the all of the Patriots naturally controlled picks in the 2021 draft forfeit. They can keep compensation picks and picks they traded for only. Now I bet that would have gotten their attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 After seeing this minimal penalty imposed, is it any surprise that the cheaters keep on cheating? I believe that this is the fourth time that they have been sanctioned by the league. In a normal corporate environment, most businesses use a progressive corrective disciplinary approach. This means that repeat violators of rules or policies receive successively harsher penalties for each new infraction. The idea is that a normal offender will recognize that the next penalty is not worth the next violation and they change their behavior. If Belicheat knew he could be looking at a year out of the league for his next infraction, I'm sure he would have everyone behaving. It's time for Roger to kick some butt with NE. I'm surprised that the other owners haven't gone off the rails about the constant cheating. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to forget the Bengals was just where they got caught - zero doubt they've been taping other games all along. 2 hours ago, Florida Bills Fanatic said: After seeing this minimal penalty imposed, is it any surprise that the cheaters keep on cheating?

Aren't allowed?? They own the league. They can say what they want. What they have very consistently demonstrated is that they really don't care about all this stuff. The money is so good, they will not let these things interrupt the cash flow. They didn't care about the buried CTE data. They didn't care about the whole unforced error that was Kaepernick and the knelling. But they are going ton get their backs up over this?? So many people don't understand how these guys operate, or how the NFL works. These guys aren't fans...they own an entertainment business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t the consequences be more severe than last time they were caught cheating? That’s typically how things work, but apparently not in the NFL. Next time they get caught cheating, it’ll only be a 5th rounder. Nope... Next time they will owe me, personally, two lobster rolls, and you one unused Brady "enjoyment tool" . Let's be real, tho: lobster rolls are pretty pricey, folks... That's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
