NFL Hands Down Penalties For Patriots
4 years agoThe NFL handed down penalties on Sunday for the New England Patriots after an investigation of the filming of the Bengals sideline last season. The Patriots will be fined $1.1 million and will lose a third-round draft pick next year. Their production crews will not be allowed to film games for the upcoming season. On the same day, the Patriots signed former MVP Cam Newton to help them replace Tom Brady. They are the third team in NFL history to lose a former MVP and add another in the same offseason -- they are the first to do it with quarterbacks. The latest Patriots scandal will further tarnish head coach Bill Belichick's reputation as a cheater, regardless of how brilliant a football mind he actually has.
