Figured this deserves its own thread, since it's not going away any time soon.
Mike and Mike were talking this morning about the possibility that if Belichick has flat-out denied that the videotaping of the Rams' final walkthrough before the Super Bowl took place and it turns out it actually happened, how do you keep him on as coach? Considering how one of the big things with the Michael Vick case was his face-to-face denial to Goodell that anything wrong had happened, I don't see how they can treat Belichick any differently if he also denied any wrongdoing to league officials and is later proven to be lying.
I don't think they strip the Pats of their title from that year -- that just opens too big a can of worms -- but I could easily see Belichick being suspended, and if you're Robery Kraft, you've got think long and hard about keeping him on and basically endorsing a "win at any cost" mantra. Then again, if the Pats dump him, there's probably 31 teams who'd hire him in a heartbeat, warts and all.
