Interesting punishment. Seems fair, although a suspension would've sent the harsh message the Goddel is trying to send. It'll be interesting to see where this goes from here.

As for Bellicheck and Mangini, I wonder if when Mangini was interviewing with the Jets, he sought Bellichecks advice and was told that he wasn't ready to be a head coach, but he proceeded with the interview process anyway. You don't see Bellicheck doing this kind of stunt when he plays the Browns.
I think the NFL should come down very hard on the Patriots - as in forfeit the entire season and no draft picks for 2 years.
