Mike Lynch of Channel 5 in Boston -- who also hosts Patriots All Access -- is reporting that Bill Belichick will be fined $500,000, which he must pay personally, and the Patriots will be forced to forfeit two high draft choices, perhaps as high as first- and third-rounders, as their penalty in Videotapegate. The penalty is different than the one reported earlier on SI.com by Peter King and Don Banks, but it is consistent with the severe discipline King and Banks said would be meted out in the case by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. As SI.com also said, Lynch said the penalty would be announced Friday.
