this is an alleged violation with no real precedence, and by NFL standards.....not that bad........strip the SEAHAWKS, most steroids, strip the SAINTS, bountygate. BRADY should be informed, as well as the rest of the NFL teams,  and NFL should control all of these variables......if you compare this to 1970's football, or other teams infractions, this is nothing....players used to report fake injuries to wear a cast on arms, and then use them as football weapons......the first infraction of a never before heard of rule should not be purported as a true violation, especially when the whole NFL, the whole sports world really, is free to tinker in some fashion to gain an edge.....cleats, swimmers' body suits, lightweight pads, boxers' put vasoline on nose even when there is no cut-so glove glances off, or a tennis racquet shock absorber spongeball in the strings...etc...... you get the point. Make and enforce new rules, but do not cry murder when other teams cheat worse anyway.....playing field is level cause they all cheat.......RAIDER STICKUM.........
