Some kind of explanation from Belichick and the Pats would have gone a long way to ending this speculation!
Him ONLY saying "We are moving on" dosen't cut it for a lot of people!
Add in the fines $500K for Belichick, $250K for the Pats, and loosing a #1 pick.

$500K is a lot of hot air.
Most people would not go down without a fight if they were fined 15% of their pay (I know I would)

i guess the question is not really about cheating against the jets but how long have they cheated and if so, what are the effects.
To me, that is something for the NFl if they want to investigate rather than the senate.

Probably because he knew he got bagged. He paid the fine and moved on. He doesn't owe us anything, he settled it with the league and he settled it with his Boss....all done.
When you get bagged for speeding or something and you choose to pay the fine does anybody wait around after you hand them the check, asking for an Explanation....No....you pay them and move on.

From what I know, he didn't "choose" to pay the fine.
He had no choice.
They claim, every team was doing the same thing (filming)
No other coach has ever been fined, certainly not 1/2 a mil!

Ya, but $500K is pretty excessive for a fine, (plus 250 for team and #1) pick don't you think ?
This whole situation just doesn't add up !
