Ok... then we have a lot of people to ban from the NFL. Too much contact in practice? Sorry Seahawks, Cowboys, and others... your coaches are now banned.
Oh, Eagles fans... grats on your new system with Chip Kelly. Too bad he's banned for gaming field conditions in the Snow Bowl. For shame!
Bucs QB bribed ball boys to scuff up game balls before their Superbowl... that gets the current coach a ban. Rescind their title while you're at it. That's a bribe AND Ball tampering.
The replay doesn't make it to the opposing team's booth as quickly as your home booth? BAN! You build your home stadium so gusts of wind affect other teams more? BAN! Salary Cap manipulation, Bounty Program... BAN BAN! Other team's sideline has water but your sideline has gatorade? BAN.
Why stop there? From now on, instead of penalties for illegal contact / personal fouls / pass interference... let's eject players from the game. If they get ejected from 2 games they're banned. There's no degree to cheating! BAN THEM ALL!

Come down off your high horses. These are the unseen, unsung "bending" of rules seen across the NFL. Just usually teams don't get caught. It's cheating, yes, but every club is doing something. They call it "competitive advantage" and "gamesmanship" and the NFL has policies for every offense. The only reason people want to go after the Patriots is because they're perpetually good and have been caught in the past. Would you care if it came out the Raiders were cheating? Or the Bucs? Nobody would care cause they suck ass. Let the poor retards cheat, it's clearly not working. But if I tell you the Seahawks were found to be using cleats 1/16th of an inch beyond regulation... OMG BURN THE FRANCHISE DOWN!
There's degrees to cheating. In the NFL, if you're not cheating, you're not trying.
