How come the Falcons are getting trouble for making fake noise?
Sometimes when the referees makes call that no sense?
How come Suh did not get suspended for stepping on Aaron Rodgers ' calf twice but Brady does for deflating some balls?
NFl rules need to be reformed because they don't make any sense.
Because what SUH did was on tape. What Brady and the Pats do is essentially sneaking around in the middle of the night, you can't see spygate cameras you can't see less air in footballs, etc.

First of all people need to stop blowing up Spygate as being so horrible and an advantage. They weren't sneaking around, they had a videographer on the sideline that everyone saw. All the Pats had to do was tape ANYWHERE but the sidelines. Taping was legal, just not from that spot. Man - the Spygate bandwagoners are so clueless and hateful.
And your point is Suh was on tape and not suspended. That was the OP's point - it WAS on tape and a suspension should have happened due to solid proof without question.
As far as spygate, the Broncos did the same thing three years later, where is the hate for them? Why wasn't their penalty severe, they knew that it was illegal, too?

Spygate was a big deal! The Patriots were caught video taping the opposing teams signals. They would then cross reference those signals with the plays that were run so that they would have AN ADVANTAGE the next time they played that team... so yea, it was a big deal and it was a huge advantage.. Knowing an opposing teams signals and being able to relay the opposing teams next play into your team is one of the biggest advantages you could have, IMO!
I think the Spygate gave the Patriots a much bigger advantage than any amount of PSI could have!

Do you not know the story? Videotaping opposing coaches was not illegal in the NFL but there were designated areas allowed by the league to do such taping. The Patriots did it from the sidelines which a memo came out that season stating no longer was taping allowed on the sidelines. They could have gotten practically the same tape 20 feet away and chose not to. So your point is entirely invalid because as most hater fans you don't understand what the rules were, and just think heavy fines and draft picks means it was a cheat for an advantage. It was a broken rule of placement only.

sorry metal but your out of bounds.
I am no hater..
but thanks for playing!
Please expand
I mean, I'll take the penalty flag, but an explanation would be nice (other than the fact that taping was supposed to be in a location surrounded by walls, thus my 20' away statement is invalid).
