The NFL doesn’t vacate victories. That’s an NCAA hobby, and it doesn’t seem to stop anybody either.

Yup....and the only coach in this years Superbowl who has had a national title vacated for cheating is not Belichick. For the record: I’ve said all along this was a minor offence & should be handled with a fine or loss of draft-pick IF they are found guilty. As of yet the NFL has produced nothing & after listening to Belichick today say he’s 100% sure the Pats did nothing it’s all on the NFL at this point.

Very true but it’s ludicrous to continually give a pass to a team that cheats and everybody knows it. Telling a college team that they didn’t actually win a bowl game means nothing. Cutting an NFL team out of the Superbowl is actually punitive action. Taking away a draft pick and fining them pocket change is worthless. What’s going on now is worse than a joke. Either put some teeth into a real punishment or drop it entirely. The NFL has commissioned a blue ribbon commission that will find nothing and recommend that the ball boy be fired, which just makes them look exponentially worse.
