Another WaPo piece slamming the Ommissioner (though written by a self-admitted NE fan):

This is actually a great article and one of the best explanations of Roger Goodell that I've read.

Have u met Kim Jong-Un? I haven't n just wondering if he's the kinda Bro u throw back n have a couple of Brewskis with!

If the Hatriots take this article seriously (and they would be wise to do so), it will give them no illusions Goodell could turn on their team next.

If you are a history buff, Stalin would friend some members to get rid of Trotsky, then one of his new friends would become the next "enemy of the people." Again, and again. When Beria and Khrushchev saw the hints, they poisoned Stalin before he could purge them. Fortunately, Kraft is still with us and might form an alliance when the other owners finally get sick of Goodell.

I think it's reasonable to assume that the self-described"media junkie" Richard Berman will have read this Washington Post article.

That is actually a brilliantly written column. Deserves to be shared far and wide

Stalin/Trotsky was exactly the example that came to mind for me too.

Long time NFLPA guy says similar things, without the explicit geopolitical comparisons. Per Sporting News.

I certainly hope his honor reads the above one as well!

Good piece, that integrates some political knowledge and how it is violated by the idiots at 345 Park Ave.

Sometimes I forget how idiotic these past 7 months have been, it is a freaking equipment violation.. need to remind myself of that.

Same here. Or, at least, it would have if my history knowledge expanded beyond Hitler and Napoleon appearing on Loony Tunes. I had a couple Daffy Duck episodes pop immediately to mind, though, does that count?
