2123029, not only that, but Payton gets a 1-yr ban for Bountygate

Belicheck allegedly breaking the rules to gain unknown advantages in close games, including the Super Bowl? I don't think he even served a sideline ban, did he?

AND

he came back with that insanely snakeish "well we just have a different interpretation of the rules" or some shit, even though it was a former assistant of his that ended up being the whistle blower cuz NO SHIT they were gaining an advantage.

so yeah, who knows how many millions in Vegas might have swung on Belicheck cheating over multiple years -- that's a speeding ticket. But Sean Payton allegedly presiding over a practice -- incentivizing hurting your opponent -- that is ingrained into the fabric of the game, THAT gets Sean Payton a one year ban.

yeah, Spygate is some of the biggest bullshit I've ever seen perpetrated by a major sports league, good on Marshall Faulk for continuing to speak about it.
