I don't think the result is the point. The point is that the Patriots are cheating again (or rather, caught again). They could have given each team the wrong footballs and New England would have still won. But enough with Bellicheat already.

Personally, the only justice that would satisfy me is a lifetime ban a la Pete Rose. How many times are they going to get caught before the hammer drops? And, no, I don't want to hear about fines and draft picks.

Look at the suspensions for Bountygate. Then think about those offenses in relation to cheating. And cheating enough to be caught three times.
