    According to Yahoo Sports, the NY Giants have been fined $150,000, HC Bob McAdoo has been fined $50,000, and their fourth round draft pick has been pushed back to the end of the round after the compensatory picks, for using a walkie-talkie during the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants game.

    cowboys fans I can understand, to a point, but why do pats fans care ? just looking for a reason to deflect the stink eye from their own team's pattern of cheating ?

    That's exactly why. They claim all teams cheat.

    maybe I am in the minority, but this to me seems to be on the same level as deflategate. so like I said earlier, meh.

    it certainly isn't like secretly filming your opponent's offensive plays prior to a super bowl.

    I heard this morning that NY Giants owner John Mara was instrumental in getting one Roger Goodell his job as NFL commish. Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
