Ok, the headline for the thread is maybe going to far, but the league set up the Patriots and enough is enough.
Belichick has been in the NFL for about 40 years. He must know "where the bodies are buried." He probably has enough dirt on various teams/members of the league to 'cause a huge sh*t storm. If the league is ok with setting up a sting operation on it's biggest team, then throwing chum in the water for the sharks (media) for the whole lead up to the Super Bowl, and then hiring a lackey (Ted F**kn Wells) to create an agenda driven report, then f**k Goodell and the league office. Fight is on.
In my mind, Brady may very well of had those guys let some air out. But this didn't need to become a federal investigation. Goodell should have phoned Kraft and said if this is going on it needs to stop. He then should have had the league test all balls before the game and at half time, if there was any funny business the league could have done an immediate internal investigation and lay down a fine if they had proof of any wrong doing. But Goodell made this out to be the crime of the century. F**k him.
Rogers over inflates his balls. No one cared. Vikings are caught heating their balls on the sidelines. No one cared. Chargers caught using stickum. No one cared. Falcons pump fake noise in their stadium. No one cared. Brown GM texting friggin plays to the coach. No one cared. All of these were barely mentioned in the media and at worst received a fine and at best no punishment at all. Patriots may deflate a ball. Create a sting, a 103 day report, and a media circus. Sharks are out for blood again.
Belichick, Kraft, and Brady might as well go public and release the hounds. Call Wells a league stooge. Call Goodell an stumbling, bumbling, complete fool. Call it like it is, publicly declare it was a sting operation and Goodell is incompetent to lead the league. Let out information to the media on all the stuff that's been buried away for years.
There endeth my rant
