Well, we don't know why it's taking so long. But, the most interesting thing that BB said on Letterman last night was that Dave should come along when the League interviews him "next month." We've all watched Belichick long enough to know that he never says anything by accident.
So, there are two ways I think you can read that remark.
One, he's tweaking the League for moving so slowly. (less likely)
Two, he actually knows that the focus of the investigation has moved away from the Patriots and in another direction. Whether that direction takes it toward the Colts or the Officials, we can't know. (more likely)
We also know that Letterman has never been a "lagging indicator" of public opinion. He's always been out front and acted as a "leading indicator" of where people are. He might sound spontaneous but, like BB, he doesn't say much that he hasn't carefully planned to say or that hasn't been scripted for him. I think he either knows or has a very strong feeling that he is "on to something" when he jokes that the Colts deflated the ball. Remember he was born, raised, went to school and had his first TV job in Indianapolis and Indiana. His roots there are deep. I think the odds are very hight that he knows what's really going on.
Combine that with the ******** Kravitz "apology" and I think I'd be very uncomfortable right now if I were a member of the Colts organization in the "line of command" that day. Their fans are very nervous, if you visit their board.
I would bet my next month's home payment that Kraft has turned the heat up behind the scenes and that he's enlisted other owners who have no time for Irsay. Watch the presentation ceremony. He glares at Goodell throughout the Commissioner's remarks and then makes an "in your face" acceptance speech that actually mentions the 45-7 final score of the AFCCG. Goodell is gone from that stage within seconds of the presentation.
