This crybaby is upset at a 4 game suspension for effecting the outcome of a championship game?

They should be stripped of the title and he should be out just as Pete Rose was.

I've never heard of anyone being banned from any other sport. Goodness knows there have been enough candidates, especially in the NFL (Rae Carruth, anyone?).

Lance Armstrong for repeated doping, Stanley Wilson from the NFL for cocaine use. Ben Johnson from track for doping.

The NFL's suspensions for cheating are woefully inadequate. 4 games is nothing. Start suspensions at 2 years minimum and a second offense should be a lifetime ban.

"Patriots coach Bill Belichick did his best to focus his team on its first day of training camp, but a plane with the banner emblazoned "Cheaters look up! @JetsFanMedia" flew over the practice field."
