Tom Brady Suspended 4 games.
Cheatriots fined $1m.
Cheatriots lose 1st rounder in 2016, and 4th rounder in 2017.
Cheaters never prosper.
And the Steelers face Jimmy Garoppolo in week 1.

Still not enough punishment, IMO.

Totally agree. Especially since this is not the first time they were caught cheating. The NFL needs to be watching this team a lot closer for now on.

It's a slap on the wrist. If it was in the regular season, sure, but this was the AFC championship game.

I think it's plenty.
4 games is a quarter of a season. It's the same as a PED suspension, which is appropriate seeing as this was gaining an edge much like PEDs.
$1 million is the maximum fine for an organization per the CBA. Consider this: the Atlanta Falcons got fined $350k for piping in crowd noise for two full seasons at their home games in a dome. This arguably had way more of an edge gained than 1 psi out of the ball.
A first round draft pick is HUGE. The fourth is not nothing, but losing a first round draft pick is major.
The reason the fine was as big as it was was for two reasons: 1) Tom Brady didn't cooperate at all with the investigation. He didn't turn over texts or emails. 2) The Patriots were told that if they were involved in any more cheating scandals, the fines would be large.

I'm a Colts fan. It's doubtful any punishment would be enough in my view.

I know. And, coincidentally enough, guess who the Cheatriots play the first week Tommy is back?

A million isn't anything to an organization like the Patriots. Chump change.
A four game suspension I'm cool with. Losing a first round draft pick I'm cool with as well.
Had the game been less than a blowout, I'd be pretty pissed. However....
What I wanna know is what other skelleys are in Belichick's/Brady's closets, because you can bet they've done other sketchy things they didn't get caught at.

I'll just leave this here:

And run away. 
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
