The NFL is reportedly considering suspending coach Bill Belichick two or three games and stripping the organization of a first-round pick after the Patriots were found to be videotaping Jets defensive coaches in Week 1.

Sources tell SI.com's Don Banks and Peter King that the league will hand down disciplinary action on Friday. The NFL has reportedly ruled out forcing the Pats to forfeit their 38-14 win over the Jets, but will "definitely" strip them of a first-day draft choice. If Belichick is suspended, he'll be banned from games and practices until the suspension is up, and will not be paid.

If Belichick gets only two or three games for cheating while Wade Wilson gets 5 for wanting to have relations with his own wife, I'd like to hear Goodell's rationale....

If that's all it's a travesty.

Wilson got 5 games for taking HGH to get help for erectile dysfunction because of diabetes.

If Belichick gets half that for blatant cheating, Goodell should be fired on the spot.

It better be more than 2-3 games. That's pathetic. And it better be a first "round" pick. Not just a first day pick.

If the Cowboys did this, I'm sure it would be an 8 game suspension minimum.

2 to 3 games? I'm sorry but that should be more than Wilson got.

That's a really good point.

The message Goodell would be sending here is that taking performance enhancing drugs, for any reason, is a greater offense than blatant cheating, which, in my opinion, is absolutely insane.

And the 'performance' being in bed.

Edit: If the cheating were in bed, this would be a non-issue. Well, maybe with Brady it would be....

How I see it is:
a) Suspend coach (cheat) Bill Belichick, offensive and defensive coordinator > 5 games
b) minus 1st round draft choice
c) game results for NE vs NYJ should be changed to a draw

Personally I think it should be at least:

1. 5 game suspension for Belichick.

2. $100k fine for Belichick.

3. 5 game suspension for Kraft

4. $500k fine for Kraft (remmber, he's on the Competition Committee which reiterated the rule).

5. Lose 1 first round pick.

6. Forfeit the game.

I still don't understand what he did? Filmed the opposing coaches? I just don't see how it would help during the game.

It's not right that Wilson get suspended for 5 games and fined $100,000 if Belichek gets only suspended for 2-3 games. It's just not right and somebody should bring that to Goodell's attention. Why is it important that a QB coach be held to a higher standard then the head coach of the Patriots. I guess cheating is okay after all. Hope the rest of the NFL including the Cowboys takes that to heart and everybody now does it.
