Get rid of Goodell, hire someone respectable, vacate all deflategate penalties, restore credibility. Let's hope Robert is working the phones now.At this point it's fair to say the NFL was immediately convinced the New England Patriots deflated footballs in the AFC championship game and then worked backward with great diligence and, at times, great duplicity to conclude it as true.
how does anyone in the NFL – owner, coach, player or fan – possibly trust the league office to investigate and rule on anything ever again?
Yeah don't read those. Fortunately we don't have to convince the masses. A majority of owners will suffice. Pretty sure they are not enjoying seeing their business dragged through the mud.All the faith in humanity these articles restore vaporizes again when I read the comments. Holy hell people!

Here's my question to Wetzel - in the last 2 thirds of his story he makes a compelling case that the Pats did nothing wrong, Brady did nothing wrong and the league is made up of duplicitous thugs. HOWEVER in the first third he goes out of the way to imply nothing has been proof that the Pats/Brady are innocent, which, when you read the rest of the post, they clearly are. Very curious.Excellent. That's the best summary I've seen that's likely to get through to the "science? bla-bla-bla" crowd.

I know right!!! How can these people comment online when they're illiterate?!?
I can live with that if we get our draft picks,qb, and watch the empire crumble.Wetzel clearly straddles the line here by saying the Pats might still be guilty because of Jastremski taking the balls with him into the bathroom and because of the Brady cell phone issue..
He does, however, lambaste Goodell for his handling of the situation.

I've been around for a long time and what I know is when someone claims to know when there are no strong facts, it reveals more about how that person would react under a similar situation.
I reminds me of an old girlfriend way back that used to think I was cheating on her (I wasn't). It ends up that she was cheating on me.
I wonder about these guys who are so sure Brady is lying when Brady is so consistent. Maybe they have such a hard time believing because they have their own character flaws.
It's called projection and you are SOOOO right about this. No wonder Goodell and all his cronies are so focused on trying to convince everyone that Brady is lying. THEY are the ones actually lying and they know they would be lying in his position.
That's the way I read it. Hedging your bets is gutless. Call it one way or the other.Wetzel clearly straddles the line here by saying the Pats might still be guilty because of Jastremski taking the balls with him into the bathroom and because of the Brady cell phone issue..
