So, Bellicheck gets a $500,000 fine and if the pats make the playoffs, they lose a 2008 first round pick...if they miss the playoffs, they lose a 2nd and 3rd rounder.
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.
