Patriots cheating again (or should I say STILL)

So...they are caught taping the other team.
How should they be dealt with THIS time?
Obviously the penalties they had for previous cheating didn’t impress them enough to stop. So what should happen to them this time?
It’s kind of like our prison system. As long as the criminals just get a slap on the wrist, there is no reason for them to stop committing crimes.
To me, the Patriots should be held out of the playoffs this year. Maybe that would send a message that cheating won’t be tolerated anymore.
What do you guys think?

It's comical how many people think the Patriots are cheating. No one cares to actually go beyond the hyperbolic click-bait headlines.

Belichick owns you all and it's amazing how clueless you folks are.

NFL rumors: Ravens following Patriots’ lead ... by getting caught cheating?

If you can’t beat them, copy them.

The Baltimore Ravens may have been caught cheating during a game, two weeks after the New England Patriots were busted for Spygate 2.0.

During Sunday’s 31-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, some viewers saw a person wearing a bluetooth earpiece while standing behind Ravens head coach John Harbaugh on Baltimore’s sideline.

It’s possible the person with the earpiece was a member of Ravens’ security. But if he’s actually on the coaching staff, the Ravens could be in big trouble, because use of phones and other communications equipment on the sidelines during games is prohibited.

As Larry Brown Sports pointed out, Sunday’s infraction wouldn’t be the first for Baltimore.

"The Ravens were fined $200,000 during the 2018 preseason after it was discovered that multiple players were using coach-to-player communication technology in their helmets. Only one player on the field at a time is allowed to have coach-to-player communication capabilities in their helmet. That fine came not long after Baltimore was fined for a separate violation of NFL rules.”

I have always wondered how many teams have players on the field with speakers in their helmet. In theory you can tell by the little sticker on the back of the helmet. That assumes teams will actually put the sticker on in the first place. There's always the deterrent that a player who has been released might say something.

So, instead of calling it “cheating” we’ll call it “breaking the rules”.
You know, like calling “stealing” from a store “shoplifting”, or “murder” being called “homicide”.
Softer words that in reality, mean the same thing.
