the fact that they were warned recently is what makes this such a big deal. the penalty is appropriate

I have no problem with people arguing that the penalty is appropriate given the above.

however, I do have a problem with people saying "it should have been much worse". it just doesn't come close to jiving with the penalties that the 49ers, Broncos, and Steelers got for cheating that was arguably just as bad.

Those penalties should have been much worse. They are in the past. Furthermore, salary cap cheating isn't headline generating material - so PR-wise it made sense to sweep those under the rug.

On field cheating >>> off-field cheating. Now let's get the NFL to investigate the Cowboys' O-line spraying their jerseys with silicon in 1994...
