I think something needed to be done, but that punishment was incredibly harsh... But Belichick gets the last laugh. The Patriots have the 49ers pick, which will be a better pick, and they can take all that money they would have spent on an unproven college player drafted 28-32 overall, and reinvest it in a free agent or resigning a key player. Plus, there are rumors that Jason Taylor is available for a 1st rounder... not bad to draft the 2006 defensive player of the year...

I've heard pretty much the opposite - most polls and interviews I've heard thought Goodell wasn't tough enough and a suspension was warranted.
