| 7th January, 2008 - 4:33 pm |  ESPN - If the undefeated Patriots needed bulletin board material for their playoff game Saturday night against the Jaguars, they have it now.
If Jacksonville defensive lineman Paul Spicer had his way, the Patriots wouldn't have even qualified for the playoffs because of the Spygate scandal.
"Do like the NCAA and kick them out of the playoffs or something," Spicer told The Associated Press after news of the scandal broke. "Put them on probation; they can't go to no playoff games. Roger Goodell has definitely enforced some new rules. He's been hard on players. Now let's see how hard he's going to be with a team."
The Patriots lost their 2008 first-round draft pick, the team was fined $250,000, and Bill Belichick was docked $500,000 as a result of the scandal in which they were caught videotaping New York Jets coaches' signals during the teams' Week 1 matchup. New England still has one 2008 first-round pick as a result of their trade with the San Francisco 49ers during the 2007 draft. [READ] |
