F-1.....Formula 1 Racing just leveled a $100 million fine on McLaren today for cheating
What did they do?
they were caught with a book of info belonging to rival team ferrari
They also lost ALL their points they accumulated this year
oh yes, they just happened to be the #1 team to date this yr
also they could have they both their racers suspended for this yr & next yr as well
their were lucky
Now this is what I call a Penalty
Not the krap Nascar doles out or what the NFL will give bellicheck, which will be a slap on the wrist at best
Penalties shud HURT & hurt big-time to send a tuff message to all
Don't cheat

Not a sport, much like golf isn't a sport.
<< <i>is F1 racing a sport?
Driving around in circles is a bit off-topic for the sports talk forum

You 3 going to Tivo WWE UNFORGIVEN so you can watch it over and over?
Also this is NOT a racing topic, I was using the F-1 story to relate to severe penalties in sport, I didn't realize my comments were so hard to understand, maybe your A Nascar fan? Is that the problem?
Oh yes, F-1 & soccer are the 2 most watched sports in the world By FAR, 2 sports ignored by most in the U.S.
There is a world beyond out there beyond the U.S. borders, maybe check it out someday, it's quite fascinating
<< <i>F-1 isn't nascar, they don't drive in circles, they run 100% road courses, of course if u ever watched even 1 F-1 race u would have known that

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has ordered the New England Patriots to turn over all videotape, files and notes relating to all their activity that resulted in the disciplinary action of coach Bill Belichick and the franchise, according to sources familiar with the details of Goodell's private communication with the team.
If the Patriots are not compliant, the commissioner is prepared to impose even greater sanctions, the sources said.
Goodell alluded to the league's position when he made his decision public to discipline the Patriots when he stated that the NFL would "review" and "monitor" the team's videotaping procedures, effective immediately. Privately, the commissioner was more specific in his demands and expectations with Patriots owner Robert Kraft when the two men spoke Thursday, sources said.
The action is being taken because Belichick all but conceded to the commissioner that his interpretation of the rules allowed him to use videotape of opposing team hand signals for future games but not on game day, sources said. The commissioner rejected that interpretation and was aware that there had been other incidents involving the Patriots in recent years.
If Goodell discovers that Belichick and the team has copied the files without disclosure to the NFL, the consequences will be significant, sources said.
