Particularly since more than half the Committee has a conflict of interest regarding the Patriots.

I've instructed Coach Belichick to refrain from sending any information in to you until such time as you can guarantee that it will not happen again.

If you'd like, you, and only you, are welcome to come here and see all the information you want. But we are not going to allow our competitors to have information that could compromise our preparations and game planning abilities."

Excellent post. It keys into the one thing this situation may give us. Leverage.

Goodell's office sure likes the investigations, doesn't it? Or the threat of investigation. It's the NFL under seige!

The NFL will investigate the leak of this tape just like George Bush

investigated the leak of the name of the covert CIA operative.

Tape "leaked" to FOX.

(Does this mean that Jane took the tape out of the VCR and stashed it in her purse while Roger was taking a "leak"?)

Do the math, Aiello!

they made copies of the tape to send it out to members of the committee so Goodall wasn't the only person with a copy.

I wonder if the Pats leaked the tape to Fox knowing that it would put Goodell in a tough spot. By leaking the tape themselves, they can create another narrative, that Goodell is a Jets fan who is doing everything he can to help the Jets by weakening their arch rival.

The Pats dont have a copy - it was confiscated from them 8 minutes into the game at NY!!!

I love how they "may" investigate it. Once they find out it came from a source they don't want revealed, that will be the end of the investigation. Hypocrites! I hope BB sends them tapes of his kids' lacrosse games. Losers.

Goodell probably is a Jets fan. He grew up in New York and had an internship

with the Jets.

I know it's extremely unlikely, given the confiscation, but it does worry me that the Pats leaked it, if they were somehow given a copy, as well. I don't know how that could possibly have helped them, except to show how stupid and mundane the practice is, but still. I think I'm just jumpy about this whole thing, wish we could get onto football.
