For everyone apart from rabid anti-Pats people and those who (understandably) have more important things to pay attention to--so, that is, everyone who's paying attention to this with even an ounce of objectivity--this went off the rails to crazy town a long time ago.
I realize we've all thought about/gone over this a million times, but again: the NFL is bringing every possible resource they can possibly muster against the league's top player, and one who has never represented himself or the league with anything but the utmost professionalism and class. On the suspicion that a ball boy may have altered the pressure of some balls past the time when you're supposed to. Which most evidence suggests he didn't. Which if he did would be a minor fine for an equipment violation according to NFL rules.
But here we are. And not to get all this is the downfall of society on you, but it's hard not to see this as an incredibly disturbing sign of the times we live in. That an incompetent buffoon like Goodell heads a major organization? Eh, that's happened throughout history. More that there isn't an overwhelming public outcry against this. But we live in an increasingly petty time, where genuine achievement and greatness is not something to be admired and strived for, but torn down. Where envy, excuses and playing the victim rule the day. Pretty freaking sad.
