Anyone training writers, or training to be a writer would find a fine example of taut, concise expression of the discipline in Schreiber's work.
Easterbrook was out of line, I'll agree, despite being a fan of his column. He should have been more tight lipped until he had (has?) the evidence he alluded to, absolutely. I am inclined to believe it is Easterbrook's inflamed love of football that led him to advance an unproven theory, but I'm not sure about that. I want evidence from him that he wasn't just writing for 'clicks', a shallow endeavor meant for personal enhancement, not for preservation of the sanctity of the NFL. Multi-billion dollar exploits like the NFL have plenty of reason to hide the skeletons in the closet, TMQ is right about that, he may have become a bit overzealous in his pursuit of hidden secrets. But, like many here wondered at the time, why did the NFL, convinced the Pats infraction warranted the most severe penalty ever imposed, see fit to destroy the 'evidence' so quickly when demonstration of the extent of the Pat's behavior could have clarified both the concerns of those who felt the Pats were treated lightly and those, like myself, who feel the Pat's were unfairly hosed by a heavy handed commissioner.
