wow...what a clip...Goodell needs to be indicted

they better air that on regular 60 minutes so everyone can see it

If the "air" isn't deflated beforehand...

Jesus. That was awesome! I've been saying for years, if the Feds got involved....ooooh boy.

I'm so happy with this

NOW we are getting to the issue that needs to be addressed. Tom Brady';s INNOCENCE. Nothing happened in the first place. The Pats didn't engage in a conspiracy to deflate balls. The ONLY conspiracy here is the one perpetrated by the NFL to punish the Pats for doing nothing. The ONLY investigation that needs to be done here is the one at the NFL offices to find out who was behind the sting., Who was behind the decision to leak the false info. Who was behind the decision to fudge the Welles Report, and WHO was behind the decision fudge the appeals process. THEN and only then might the NFL regain some of its long sought after "integrity"

This clip needs to be on everyone's "copy" function so it can be disseminated on every opposing web site, and everyone who cries cheater and let THEM explain it away. Send it to Florio, Send it to Tanguay .), Send it to EVERYONE. Brady didn't get off on a technicality. Brady was INNOCENT. The Pats were INNOCENT. The league office on Park Ave is GUILTY.

BTW- I got the feeling that this guy had a lot more to tell than what we saw. He needs more of an audience. He needs to be on MORE programs. He needs to go on a radio tour, and someone should suggest a book to him. Deflategate - How the NFL tried to take down Brady and the Patriots.

BTW-2 With every passing day, stuff like this makes some sort of defamation suit against the league, not only more necessary, but more winnable.

I would have loved to hear how he went from "thinking they were guilty" the first time he read to Wells report to his current position, "Thinking nothing happened". Te NFL probably could have put Defamegate behind them by not appealing (or announcing they would appeal) and just focusing on the upcoming season.

I certainly hope it stays front and center as the fundamental issue is gaining national exposure and the tide is decidedly against the NFL (in this case). But mostly, I want an investigation done into what the NFL did (how it started and who leaked) and how they handled their investigation and arrived at their conclusions.

The only way to make the majority want to get this information is if they believe there is more damning evidence of the Patriots wrongdoing (i.e. coverup) or if they realize how corrupt 345 Park Ave really is (seems a long shot).

wow the measurement of the gauges to the Nobel scientist showing the Wells report as JUNK

this

is

amazing

nothing any of us didn't know almost from the start.

The NFL is a powerful media force and they don't take prisoners. Getting the word out is a high mountain to climb and one, most unfortunately, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to see happen.

The NFL's media machine went into action after Berman's ruling. They did it because of exactly what this video demonstrated. The NFL knows their case was a sham railroading and they simply could not let it get too exposed/repeated or face up to what the Berman ruling exposed about the underlying case. They simply couldn't have that happen so they called out the dogs and busied out the media with lots of juicy Spygate revelations and all the new ways the Patriots have cheated over the years. Oh brother did that work! The name Berman, except in the Patriots home area, hasn't been mentioned since (except in passing). That's old news now because now the Patriots heat gatorade and use radio jamming and god knows what else. This time there ain't no judge to call 'em on it, this time THEY are the judge of the message of guilt.
Sadly it worked like a charm. Sadly the NFL's propaganda ministry, ESPN, can permeate the airwaves of sports media with the exact message the NFL wants permeated. And those who get railroaded by it and those in support of the railroad have little else but to sit in the middle and suck on it. Just too many braindead who want their anger sated.
it is what it is....(but I still appreciate the 60 minutes piece)

OMG this guy is awesome, said exactly what needed to be said!!!

When did this episode air? There is one on demand that aired on 9/8....is that the one?

I think so and airing again tonight according to the Tweets.

I'll check the On Demand one. There is no airing tonight on Showtime according to my Direct TV guide.

So cool.

IIRC Armen is a personal friend of BBs.

Tonight is Sunday night..........does that mean it's going to be on the REGULAR 60 Minutes????????

Corruption exposed, and owners are fine with it. What would happen to you in your job if you behaved this way?

I'm sorry people but the hate and jealousy for the pats overrides all rational thinking so no matter what facts are in our favor in proving innocence people simply don't care.
Look at the espn and cnnsi spygate reports which are just full of rumors and hearsay and barely any facts. Everyone acts like they are the height of investigative reporting , and barely anyone is calling bs on the articles.
As pats fans we should just accept that the image of the team is as cheaters and embrace the black hats.
