Unfortunate truth.

Goodell let the Patriots be dragged through the mud during spygate, yet Kraft remained buddies. Goodell once again let it happen, and Patriots screwed yet again.

Even if appeal overturned, kangaroo court made their decision. Draft picks gone. Legacy destroyed... Yet Kraft remains civil with Goodell.

Issue is that America has moved on. Patriots deflated their footballs by 2PSI and that is that.
Quit trying to hurt people's brains with excuses. They cheated, I don't care what the facts are. The NFL will not spend millions of dollars to investigate if they did not cheat. What did they cheat? They let air out of the balls. How do you know this? Read the Well's report, it is all there, the ball pressures of the Patriots were lower than the Colts balls. Ok, I give up.

Have contended all along that the NFL lost control of this message and situation and could not recover.. they unleashed a shytstorm and could not stem the tide.. from the first release in the middle of the night to Kravitz to Mort on Monday nite late and Peter King Wed. AM early.. they selectively released information and from all appearances no one is held accountable.

Whoever ever did that, Kensil??, sabotaged any semblance of order that the NFL strives for.. instead a world of crap ensued and Rogah is backed into a corner... this is not what the Commish wanted.

The reluctance to pursue this with Mort, speaks volumes about the lazy mediots..

Florio is doing a great job with these articles!. The Pats were done wrong. I'm glad someone has the guts to point all of this out.

He's been banging the drum all along that the whole media storm started with Mortenson's INCORRECT report. Mortenson and espn still have not said anything about it. What a joke.

That was brilliant. Florio gets it right : (1) the NFL cares more about the report of the length of a meeting than the truth (2) the initial Mort report is the catalyst to this whole BS (3) why would the NFL be so quick to jump on one (then get slammed by Schefter) while never addressing the actually damning leak/false info ?

And yet somewhere in Brookline Robert Kraft is waking up thinking his acquiescing has actually bought him something at the NFL league level.

Not likely, based upon their recent history of their slant on this one, except for Dale and Holley. I could see them doing it, for sure. At one time Zolak might have, but now Bertrand likely wouldn't allow him to.

He won't do that. Not in a million years.

If America has indeed moved on then Goody and his henchmen can exonerate TB12 and give Bend Over back the picks so real guys like BB can continue the great work that they are doing.

Ugh. Florio makes good points. If the NFL had refuted Mort's report BB and TBs pressers are seismically different.

Jerks.

They aren't coming back. Even if the suspension is totally overturned and he's exonerated, the league will claim Kraft waived his right to appeal by accepting the penalties...Thanks Bob.....

What does "the tide is turning" mean to you?

I don't know why everyone has their panties in a bunch, I am sure the NFL will officially refute Mortensen's report that 11 of the 12 balls were deflated by at least 2 PSI any day now. It just takes a while for them to approve the press release.

The tide is turning but half the fleet is at the bottom of the Pacific scuttled and beyond repair because Admiral Kraft was busy capitulating a deal that makes the treaty of Versailles look fair.

More reinforcement that Kraft is a coward for caving in and backing out of a fight he really should have fought.

Mike-

You're a little late to this party, but welcome to the club they like to call "journalism".
