Not to quote and promote my own post, but let's let this sink in a bit.
Mike Kensil and Roger Goodell both join the NFL front office in 2006

And interestingly, Kensil was VP of Football Relations on the Jets at the time Roger Goodell was working there between stints in PR for the NFL Commissioner's office

Roger Goodell declares himself the Judge Judy and Executioner of the NFL's "Integrity of the Game" and his first highly publicized action is to enforce a new 2006 rule during the first game of 2007, involving one Bill Belichick who artfully illustrated a gaping loophole in one of the new Commissioner's new rules.
Roger, presumably advised by the former Jets VP, then feigns shock that signal filming occurs in the NFL, and hands down a substantial penalty to Belichick and the Patriots to put Belichick in his place
The notion of Spygate as a major scandal when signal filming is not only prevalent but allowed actually undermines the perceived integrity of the game
Fast forward to 2015 and you've got Kensil blowing hot air on Deflategate - a "scandal" that, while even less of an issue compared to the placement of signal filming cameras, once again is blown out of proportion with Kensil actually fanning the media flames leaking damaging but largely fabricated "evidence" against the Patriots
If Kensil is implicated in this fabricated "gotcha" then even Spygate must be re-examined
In an odd way Deflategate has the potential to somewhat exonerate Belichick and the Patriots as victims of an NFL which itself, exhibits no integrity of the game
