I don't think its severe enough. Why? Cause I am sure Kraft will gladly pay the 3/4 of a mil out of his multibillion dollar bank account. They have 2 first round picks next year so if they lose one...I don't see it as a big deal. If they don't make the playoffs and lose their 2nd and 3rd then they can easily take their 2 firsts to make up for that or use one of them to get a 2nd and 3rd so in these respects I don't see it as to stiff. It sounds stiffer than it actually is if you ask me.

Now that said I think this is could be only the beginning of a larger scandal within the Pats and the league is instituting a review and basically an investigation of their other pratices that have been reported such as opposing teams wireless headsets "cutting out" at crucial points in the game...so much to the fact that they now bring their own wired headsets and also audio recording equipment intercepting transmissions to QB's helmets and line calls by the QBs and Center's.

As more comes out its just a shame that they had to go and pull crap like this and hurt their integrity and possibly the integrity of the game for an advantage to win.
