Not sure what the obsession is with this Volin character - he is a lop playing the bad cop role for his publication. He'll make himself look bad, make a name for himself doing it, get clicks and find his paying niche. However, he is right about one thing, it would be unfortunate if Kraft was even in part behind the website. It just makes Kraft/the anti Goodell crowd look as underhanded and scummy as Goodell. Our side is not going to win this fighting Goodell on the scum level. Goodell and his scummy minions are in their sweet spot in that arena. We can win, hopefully, by sticking to the truth and repeating it over and over.
I would be shocked if Kraft is behind it. IMHO this is about Dowd and a few others seeing an opportunity here. Nearly everyone was behind Goodell and his crusade of righteousness. Media wanted Brady dangling at the end of a rope (figuratively) and didn't stop to look at it comprehensively, precious few stopped to look at and report the glaring inconsistencies of Goodell/the facts. So you can be one voice drowned out in a sea of hundreds of lemmings, or be one voice in a group of two or three that could look pristine IF this case comes crumbling down around Goodell. This is an opportunity for Down and others like him (steph). And when one looks at the weakness of Goodell's actions/case, this kind of opportunity is uncommon. Normally powerful scummy entities like Goodell's office usually make sure their underlying case is stronger before acting like the hitler youth to railroad someone. It appears to me, albeit I am biased, Goodell has hitched his scummy trailer to a weak hitch and tangibly exposed himself to a smackdown. This is an opening for these few voices of reason to look real real good in front of the sea of glib lemmings.
