Once again, a New York Columnist asks the questions that our local mediots seem to want to avoid.

Why aren't Volin and Shaughnessy writing stuff like this? I've come to the conclusion that they are either too insecure or too blind to read the handwriting on the wall and speak the truth. Are they so insecure that they are afraid of being accused of being "provincial New Englanders" or something like that? Or do they truly bear animosity towards the teams they are supposed to be covering?.

I've quoted the relevant material from Myers' article below (my emphasis in bold), but I've also attached the link at the bottom both for copyright reasons as well as because Myers raises a few other interesting points:

"ROGER SPEAKS

"Roger Goodell will address the media for the first time since his four-game suspension of Brady was overturned by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman last month at the conclusion of Wednesday’s meeting. The NFL is appealing, but even if Brady loses, it would not impact the 2015 season or playoffs and he would likely appeal. Conceivably and incredibly, the case of deflated footballs could reach the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

"In the meantime, Goodell needs to answer a few questions:

"-Does he think he got his money’s worth out of Ted Wells’ $3 million 100-day investigation that produced a 243-page report filled only with circumstantial evidence?

"-Does the NFL plan to release the results when it randomly tests footballs this season? And what happens if the footballs at a December game in Foxborough lose air pressure at the same rate they did in the Colts-Patriots AFC title game?

"-Does he plan to attend a game at Gillette Stadium this season? "

Did People Magazine come up with those 3 questions? Might as well ask Goodell what his favorite color is?
 
Yeah, but does Myers have the balls to ask those questions at the press conference, I doubt it very much.

You're right. People does have smarter content than the Globe. Good point actually.
 
We don't need to have Goodell or anyone else answer the second question, because we all know the answer: There will be no test results offered which support the principles of the Ideal Gas Law. Whether real or manufactured, more likely the latter, any revealed results will support the NFL/Wells Report conclusions. Not a chance anything contradicting those conclusions will ever see the light of day. In fact, the rigged results will reignite the anti-Patriots fervor nationwide.
 
Myers just released his book Brady vs Manning and I think he picks Brady and says TB is GOAT. What's this world coming to, but then again Myers changes quicker than Model on a run way.
 
"ROGER SPEAKS

"Roger Goodell will address the media for the first time since his four-game suspension of Brady was overturned by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman last month.....................

This is a lie. I've seen an NFL press release where they claim Roger is available to the media every day.
 
The problem is the gauge mixup/discrepancy SHOULD mean balls don't fall into the range of the Patriots balls, or at least it's unlikely. However, they should still be within about .4 psi. Just gives the NFL spin machine more ammo, though, and you know they will milk for all they can.
 
More than releasing the results, they need to tell us how they plan to run the tests. If they allow the footballs to come back to the same temperature before taking the PSI readings, rather than on-the field readings (or preferably - both) then it's a sham.

Oops, looks like I gave the NFL* a way to turn this into anti-Patriot propaganda. If I was Kraft (and he has friends), they should contribute by running applicable" tests and releasing the results. But, we assume Kraft won't fight back, but maybe he will.
 
I knew the bye week would lead this direction at some point :p
 
Kraft should publicly announce that Kensil is forbidden from Foxboro.
 
"-Does the NFL plan to release the results when it randomly tests footballs this season? And what happens if the footballs at a December game in Foxborough lose air pressure at the same rate they did in the Colts-Patriots AFC title game?

My guess is probably not, as the results will get conveniently lost.. no one can find them, either that or they are only going to record the psi of balls in domed stadiums or stadiums in California/Florida..
 
Somebody get Rachel Nichols. She's the closest thing to the sports version of Mike Wallace anymore...
 
Kraft should publicly announce that Kensil is forbidden from Foxboro.

I don't think they can ban Kensil but I don't think the NFL can stop the Patriots from making sure he is completely safe, we wouldn't want Mr. Kensil to get hurt now would we? He should have a security guy within a foot of him at all times, even when he has to poop, right in the stall with him.

If the results show that across the league the ball loses air pressure, as we all expect it too, thats when i think the league should overturn the suspension, and hand us our draft picks back.

You mean "I've always made myself available to the media" RG hadn't spoken since the decision by the courts ? Wtf ?
 
The balls will never lose as much pressure as the pats ball supposedly did..because they used two different gauges that were calibrated differently. Goodell will just say see - they didn't lose as much as the Wells report said they did...

They already 'solved' this problem.. Thinking that readings will 'exonerate' the pats is just a waste of time. They NFL never had a good ball measuring program in place in the first place.. It was pretty haphazard because they basically didn't care about ball pressure...

I suspect that the announcement of the results will be just before the AFC championship game or just before the SB should the Patriots be involved.
