It's not a joke because he was asked about it straight up and at the press conference just ran around in circles and lied about it. The punishment is more for that then the act itself. He should have just came clean. NE didn't need to cheat to win, they would have won anyways. That's why it's dumb they did it. You can't cheat and then lie about it when asked about it. The ruling is fair IMO. Tom Brady is a great player. He didn't have to cheat and then lie. He's better then that.
In terms of the part I bolded from your response, I think Patriots fans would have been more upset if Tom Brady was given a 1 year suspension over the 1st round pick though right? Like if it was a 1 year suspension for Brady and money (they keep the 1st rounder). Patriot fans would have been even more upset.
