For a team like the Texans, losing their #1 pick is a substantial blow. For the Patriots, it was just collateral damage.

You are embarrassing yourself every time you argue that a 1st round pick doesn't matter (even a low one).
But you don't believe a 1st doesn't matter. You just think it's not enough because New England partially overcame it once. So are you saying you don't want the Patriots punished, you want them punished enough so they can't win?
With no proof they did anything wrong, plenty of scientific uncertainty anything even happened, and the NFL leak that started the whole thing being a lie, you want them punished in a way that makes sure they cannot make the super bowl for at least 3 years? What does that look like? Postseason ban like college? Removal of Tom Brady for the year?
What about Minnesota and Carolina? Do you think they should be let off the hook since they lose already without penalties? If a team cheats and loses you don't seem to care.
Tell me exactly what you think should happen Bob? What should be done to Bellicheat (especially since the NFL's own investigation cleared Bellicheat of any involvement)? What would be a big enough punishment to stop you from whining?
