We can't possibly know how many games have been affected by this behavior. The Pats stand tainted as far as I am concerned.
What Belichick and the Commish both agreed on was that Belichick mis-understood the rules and agreed on the punishment which is the maximum fine possiable for a coach. Do you know how much 500k cuts into a NFL coach's salary...ALOT!
Along with the guarentee loss of atleast 1 draft pick this is a fine unlike no other made.
This punishment is good enough as it is
