> New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been fined **the maximum amount** under the NFL Constitution and By-Laws of $500,000 for violating league policy last Sunday on the use of equipment to videotape an opposing team’s offensive or defensive signals.
> 
> In addition, Commissioner Roger Goodell also notified the Patriots that they would **forfeit their first-round draft** choice in 2008 if they reach the playoffs, or their own second-round and third-round picks if they do not qualify for the playoffs, and that the **club would be fined $250,000**.
