I don't see why the NFL doesn't just punish the Patriots the way they always punish the Texans - with phantom holding calls at critical moments of the game. Nothing is announced and nothing is admitted but let's see what happens if Brady gets kicked in the nuts like Schaub was and have nothing called.

Are you really whining about them getting away with it? The league rules call for a $25K fine for equipment tampering (what Minnesota and Carolina got for getting caught doctoring footballs on the sidelines last season,

It's jealous whining fans like you that result in this even being a story at all, let alone still being talked about in September. Were you maybe a voter in this poll back in May?

ESPN (which I am pretty sure is a subsidiary of the NFL) conducted a poll that shows %63 of fans think Brady and the Pats deserved their punishment. Interestingly, only %54 of the same fans believe Brady and the Patriots cheated. This means almost %10 of the football fans polled think the Patriots are not guilty but should still be punished. I am pretty sure that includes Bob.
