In a football video game you can sit back and watch the plays as much as you want. But is it fair to do this for real? The NFL doesn't think so. Apparently, the Patriots have been caught spying on other teams and accusations are flying over how far back the asuse goes.

Some players are convinced the Patriots have been cheating for years and are calling for the Patriots to forfeit their recent Super Bowl Championship titles.Yahoo said:On Thursday, New England coach Bill Belichick was fined the NFL maximum of $500,000 and the Patriots were ordered to pay $250,000 for spying on an opponent's defensive signals. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also ordered the team to give up next year's first-round draft choice if it reaches the playoffs and second- and third-round picks if it doesn't.
Is this the end or is there more trouble ahead for the Patriots?Yahoo said:Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward said this week that he suspected the Patriots had some type of inside information on the Steelers before at least one of the teams' two AFC championship game matchups since the 2001 season. While Ward said the Patriots knew a lot of Pittsburgh's calls, none of the Eagles could offer any type of solid proof of any shenanigans.
