NO! Just because somebody with an obvious axe to grind goes bleating to the media doesn't mean it has to be justified by a "serious investigation." A "yeah, it didn't affect this game but we'll look into it" would've sufficed.this was out of control before Goodell woke up Monday AM. he had no choice but to say a serious investigation would take place.
He IS a hapless buffoon.
And a drunken arsonist took advantage of his weakened state.
Don't let the drunken arsonist off the hook as the central driving force in this debacle.

Source said if the Patriots are guilty of deflating, then they're likely using a "scientific" method. Too risky to deflate on sideline

Talked to a league source today that said if the NFL checks every team, then they'll find "several" teams are guilty of deflating.
Here's my point: Goodell needlessly gave the media hysteria credence by announcing this wide-ranging investigation (40 freaking interviews and a forensic detective?) like they had uncovered a domestic terrorist cell. This fanned the (already unnecessary) flames by overreacting to the overreaction! He could've taken a much more sub died and calming approach in reasonable proportion to the alleged offense.

They had to because when the reffs looked they were below 12.5. These reffs didn't know the science behind it. I hate Goodell but this was out of control before Woody Johnson rolled over and woke Goodell up in bed.
Leadership means control. He is the commissioner of the league that Goodell's commissioner of. With firm leadership, busting the nads of whatever weasels in the league who are pushing this, you get one old decrepit sportswriter who made a tweet that was never substantiated. Maybe even a quick retraction.
The commissioner has much more power than the President, as far as what he can do unilaterally. Rozelle or Tag would look at it, see it was the drug addled owner of the colts pushing this after an embarrassing playoff defeat, maybe even foreseeing what a joke the league investigating deflated balls would be, and just squashed it.
Goodell was complicit in fueling this fiasco by ordering an over-the-top investigation. (I've been saying this for several posts now.)I am NOT arguing against him being incompetent!
But who are you? Irsay's lawyer?
It is IRSAY who is the villain in this. Goodell is Barney Fife.

Rozelle and Tagliabue also did not have 24 hour news cycle internet media being able to manufacture "gates". Rozelle thought TMZ meant "too much zucchini".
It is 2015. Ike and JFK could keep their mistresses out of the papers even while the press knew everything.
Embrace the hate..
