I think the fine on belichick is fine. half a million is a pretty big chunk of change for a single person, even if it they do make 2-3 million a year. however the 250k team fine doesn't mean much at all. Raise that to 2-5m and now every team will make sure they aren't doing the same, and also the patriots would probably take internal action too.
also, i agree, if they did use the information they gained in the same game, then it should be forfeited.
