I have a theory on why a usually media shy Patriot organization gave a big thumbs up to Randy Moss addressing the media about these allegations of battery.
Think the Patriots felt they were burned and burned bigtime by not talking to the media in the days following that Jet game when the whole sideline taping thing happened. Their silence allowed the media to take that story and turn it into something totally overboard, ridiculous and out of context and by that time it was too late for the Pats or BB to sit down and give their side of the story. Because there was a huge vacuum of non-info/response from BB and the Pats the media took a jaywalking infraction and turned it into Spygate.
I think the Patriots learned their lesson after that media lynching and will now be much more pro-active to address these things at the very beginning of these situations.
Honestly think the Patriots being treated so unfairly by the media after Spygate lead to them getting ahead of the Moss story today.
