Belichick, Patriots Fined

[gb81racing]

NEW YORK — Roger Goodell's hard line on discipline, aimed so far at players, came down this time on a coach and a team.
New England coach Bill Belichick was fined the NFL maximum of $500,000 Thursday and the Patriots were ordered to pay $250,000 for spying on an opponent's defensive signals.
The commissioner also ordered the team to give up next year's first-round draft choice if it reaches the playoffs and second- and third-round picks if it doesn't.

I really don't see whats wrong with stealing signs. No different than doing some advance scouting or exchanging film:confuzeld:
