So if they are not going to enforce the rules and it is pointless to try why do we have rules and why come down so hard on players for things that have no impact on the game?

. . .

I guess I am done with pro football after a lifetime of watching, since as you say it is all based on who can break the rules the best and nothing can be done about it.

It is difficult to have a conversation because you twist things to the extreme - I didn't say any of that.

I still think that if it had been any team other then the Patriots the coach would have been banned or fined at the least.

I am mildly curious why you think this? What is so special about the Patriots that they would get such favored treatment?

I just don't see what the point of cheating is. I mean what fun is it to win a trophy if you know you didn't earn it?

Do you think that in the NFL they play for fun?
