Exactly!
Goodell is in a completely untenable position...of his own making.
He can't open the floodgates by exonerating Brady and trying to get away with admitting that the Wells report was "a little bit wrong" and a "a little bit right."
He can't let the whole mess go to open court for the obvious reasons.
If he exonerates Brady, he can't set a precedent of using the alleged "misbehavior" of two low level employees as an excuse to levy draconian punishments against an owner.
He be ****ed. I'm not writing those draft picks off just yet.
