Mike Florio: Goodell Underling(s) Were Out to Get the Patriots

By Ryan Glasspiegel

Patriot hater, master of the snarky innuendo and unlikely ally Mike Florio goes on the Glass Half Empty podcast and talks for quite some time on the witchhunt.

Mike Florio talking to Ryan Glasspiegel“ said:

I think that they deliberately delayed the process of getting the real numbers out because having the false numbers out there kept the Patriots feeling like they were on the ropes when the reality was that they were on ropes that weren’t even there,” Florio said. “We didn’t get the truth until May. That is the one fact that bothers me more than anything in this entire ordeal, and that’s the one fact that causes me to believe that someone was out to get the Patriots. The false information was put out there, or deliberately not corrected.”

Well worth the listen and giving the site a view.

And not that the Admins need my permission, but they are welcome to merge this Thread with another should they see fit.

Wow that troll Florio really going to bat for our squad over this. Might have to reconsider his status as a hater...

He's a hater but his interests run parallel to ours so here we are.

Tomorrow, Florio will run a story about the Patriots hiding evidence and how they might be guilty. He covers his ass by appeasing both sides of the argument.

I doubt it. He's made his bed as well. He hasn't really been anything but pro-Pats once he read the Wells report for what it is. He has a very broad audience so it makes you wonder what his bosses at NBC think of his and his gangs' viewpoints.

The 10.1PSI figure used by NFL SVP Gardi in this Jan 19 letter to the Patriots http://wellsreportcontext.com/nfl-letter-to-patriots/ is pretty much exactly where the PSI would have been at the game the week before vs the ravens which was much colder. Yea this was not a sting. If I had heard that the balls were 2.4PSI less I too would be looking around to see who did it. I knew that 1.7 or less could be attributable to science. What the NFL did by lying in this letter was tamper with the Patriots and impact the Patriots ability to prepare for the Superbowl. This should be criminal and we should ask the Massachusetts AG Maura Healey to investigate.

Watch Florio become commish after Goodell gets tossed. He must have an angle.

I said this early on .... Goodell got strong armed in the NFL office by some very rich and/or corrupt people ... so this is not news to me. It made/makes perfect sense to me the more I think about it ... there's no logic to this ... it's like a mafia hit without the bullets. Goodell is a lemming ... he has no soul so he'll do as told.

Bob 'no testicles' Kraft went to round up his people and they all scattered ... such is life Bob when you dance with the devil --- people will make deals with you for financial gain but you have no respect ... you never did ... they used you and your greed was only too happy to oblige them.

I'll bring this one more level up ...

People in the NFL office used swept under the rug evidence against Roger in his previous botched stings to get him to do as told ... when told ... and how told. Roger either went along with them or he would be gone via leaked rice and/or Peterson info ... these NY and lemmings people are vultures.

Good luck. I am however suprised that with the amounts of obvious subterfuge that went on by the NFL offices, someone with connections to the Feds or local government hasn't started an investigation. What would it take to start one? Call the AG office? Send an email? Sue the NFL?

It is shocking that I haven't heard anything. I mean people sued over the Pats being in the Super Bowl.

Interesting, especially the last part. I wouldn't be suprised in the least. This actually makes more sense than the Wells report does.

I think part of the witch hunt has to do with the psychology of very, very rich men.

I suspect that billionaires are NOT used to losing or looking bad... ever. They don't have any practice in it. From what Ive seen of them their ego is very immature and retaliatory when pierced. I mean just look at Raymond Tusk for example...

Patriots and Bob Kraft have been making 31 other billionaires very, very angry for the past 15 years.

How f'n angry they were when the deflate fiasco did not damage the Patriot's preparedness for the Super Bowl. Surprised none of them had an aneurysm that night when Butler intercepted the ball.

For all his faults he is one of the only people who has consistently called ******** on deflate gate and echoed what many of us have suspected about the NFL being out to get the team and Brady. Whatever his motivations are (if any beside exposing the league) I don't care. He's stepped up to bat in defense of the Pats/against the league more than just about any other national reporter. He's earned some respect from me.

"Ted Wells' work in this investigation is sufficiently shoddy, that it would make sense to go back and look at what he did in the Dolphin's case..." - Florio in interview.

Ted Wells taking a hit to his reputation definitely big on my wish list in all this. Dr. Pain, can't wait to hear that scoop you have!

I don't believe it's neccessarily that they win championships either. I think a lot has to do that EVERY year they are a thorn in other teams sides. How many games have they won that either a) killed a teams chance at getting into the playoffs or b) bumped a team down in the seeding so they had to go on the road. Etc. That's ticket and concession money lost right there.

Much like penalty calls and not so much what but when they are called, who the Patriots have disrupted means as much as championships.

This is some inception level sh** right here, Florio going deeper than any Pats hater has ever gone before, he has now become a quadruple agent

I just wrote to the Massachusetts Attorney general at [email protected]

I linked to the NFL letter http://wellsreportcontext.com/nfl-letter-to-patriots/ Explained the letter stated 10.1 when the later Wells report http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/Deflategate.pdf showed the lowest was 10.85. "

"The significance of this is that the drop in pressure from 12.5 to 10.85 is explainable by atmospheric conditions and a cold rain during the AFC Championship game while a drop from 12.5PSI to 10.1PSI was not. The NFL had the correct measurements yet provided the false number of 10.1 which could have only come about by human intervention. This resulted in the Patriots having to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with a scandal that did not exist when they should have been dedicated to preparing for the Super Bowl. That the Patriots ultimately won the Super Bowl should not diminish the severity of this act by the NFL.

The Super Bowl is the largest sporting event in the United States and the amount bet on the Super Bowl is in the billions of dollars http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/1/31/7923869/super-bowl-2015-betting-prop-bets-gambling-wager-nfl . Any potential attempt to influence the Super Bowl by deception is something that the Attorney General’s office should look into. The NFL has yet to release any public explanation on how and why the NFL provided this inaccurate information to the Patriots at this pivotal point when in fact the NFL was the only organization with the proper measurements.

The NFL exists as a nonprofit organization under a Federal antitrust exemption and as such they should be held to a high ethical standard. It is shocking that they would engage in such actions which any reasonable person will clearly see would impact the most bet upon sporting event in the United States by distracting the Patriots who should have been solely focused on Super Bowl preparation.

I urge the Attorney General’s office to contact the NFL and determine how such a letter came to be and assess if there was any attempt to inappropriately influence the Super Bowl, the most gambled upon sporting event in the United States. With legalized gambling on the way in our Commonwealth, we cannot afford to allow activities such as this go unexplained in Massachusetts. If the NFL claims it was a simple error then the NFL must explain why they did not correct this error as soon as it was identified. I am certain that the electorate would be forever grateful for any clarity you can bring to the situation brought on by the NFL, a nonprofit organization under a Federal antitrust exemption."

Matt Chatham always says the NFL is run by a bunch of full grown babies. Until this happened I never realized the amount of higher ups in the NFL with ties to the Jets. These guys can easily put together a coordinated effort to harm another team and they'll all have each others backs.

The NFL gave up their non profit status.
