Even still, they can get it as perfectly aligned as they like beforehand, all it takes is one idiot to screw it up. At that point we could only pray there might be at least one idiot in that group...
I mean, how dumb is Blandino to simply not have said "I can't comment on an ongoing league matter" on media day. Boom. Case closed. Ego won't allow it though. Has to try to make himself look squeaky clean and Pats as bad as possible.I assure you there are PLENTY of idiots in that group.

Ditto Wells. He had zero upside to talking today, only downside. But his ego wouldn't allow himself to keep quiet.
Like 20 other teams. Also who cares what other people think.. In the grand scheme we'll have multiple cheating episodes against us.
Even if it is proven it was a sting, what difference does it really make in the grand scheme? We (pats fans) will point and say the NFL had it out for us and are being treated unfairly. Haters (anyone not a pats fan) will say when you're a proven cheater (spygate), you don't need to warned not to cheat again and giving a warning will not let us (haters) catch you red-handed. Which is pretty much the storyline of NFLN lately and most other national media.
Sorry - I'm trying to be optimistic, but I just can't see what difference it will make if it is proven to be a sting other than Brady's suspension being lessened (perhaps?). In the grand scheme we'll have multiple cheating episodes against us.
It has implications as far as unfair labor practices for Brady, it demonstrates unethical behavior and a bias which will be used to get neutral arbitration and it is not what the Wells report said so it is another hole there (#6987)Even if it is proven it was a sting, what difference does it really make in the grand scheme?

Thank God Brady has stayed quiet the league and their stooges are self imploding

What difference will it make?
The difference is that there are actual 'journalist' that want the truth and not sensationalism. A local radio announcer is a NewYorker, 'hates' the Patriots, but 'respects them'. Today he and co-announcer actually are trying to figure out why they (Brady and Patriots) are planning to fight this. They actually mentioned that 'it is possible' that they are so convicted that they did not cheat, that maybe there is some truth to their claims (imagine that). There are others that are so malignant in their beliefs that it will not matter, but public sentiment can change with more information.
The more this gets dragged in the mud, more truth will come out and the league will progressively look bad. Kraft will slowly get support from other owners once the tide turns, not necessarily to support the Patriots, but they will realize that this will make the league weaker, open the doors to possible antitrust violations, and they definitely do not want a defamation suite. As a result, the owners will probably make Goddell the scapegoat and clean house in the NFL front office before it gets worse. This could take all year. I suspect that Brady and the NFLPA will not let this one go.
You'd think Curran would have been on it. I'm really surprised as to me this is the smoking gun for the sting. Why would Blandino lie unless he didn't want people to know emails were exchanged and plans made beforehand?why isnt any of PFT or SI picking up on the blandino story ? isnt it a huge deal?
