How long was the Dolphins' bullying investigation? Where are we in terms of beating that number of days?
Deflategate made the national news for many days in a row. Months later, the President joked about it. I think the NFL has little choice but to play it straight in terms of blame, punishments and so on.
What will infuriate us all will not be that. Instead, what will infuriate us will be the claim that this decency is just the way the league usually rolls.
They clearly and obviously blew this whole issue, and underestimated the impact of their actions.. classic unintended consequences...
I think the NFL league sources knew exactly what the impact of their leaks would be and the witchhunt consequences to the Patriots were entirely intended.
It's hard to draw any other conclusion about the pattern and timing of the leaks.
Maybe it was a sting by Goodell to get rid of certain elements in the head offices that he's been trying to oust and now he has his reasons. I thought Curran said something to that effect at the beginning, not the sting part but Goodell wanting to get rid of some people.
I suppose that's possible, but if he's repeatedly put up with that crap from subordinates without disciplining them, then that brings me back to my original theory: he's neither qualified nor bright enough for the job. He certainly doesn't have a problem meting out Draconian sanctions on certain teams and individual players. It seems to be more who you are than what you've done with this guy.Is it at all possible that Goodell really is a halfway OK dude who has been undermined by those in his office multiple times, making him take the blame?
Seems unlikely, but I guess maybe it's possible...
So true. Leave this fiasco that tarnished a great SB to hang around for the entire offseason and let the obvious tampering guilt of the Jets linger on a backburner less than a week before the draft.Because it involves the Patriots.
Even if you can justify the delay in the release of the Wells report regarding deflated walls, it is separate from the Jets tampering. There is no justification for this to have been dragging on so long when the facts are not in dispute.
Oooo...a double sting. I like that one.Maybe it was a sting by Goodell to get rid of certain elements in the head offices that he's been trying to oust and now he has his reasons. I thought Curran said something to that effect at the beginning, not the sting part but Goodell wanting to get rid of some people.
