I have but one comment--is it too late for Kraft to reconsider not appealing the loss of or draft picks?
There is one more chance to right this wrong ( not likely though). The NFL owners meeting is Mar 23-26. Hopefully by then we will have a decision by the 2nd Circuit exonerating Brady. If that is the case, a strategic move would be for Bob Kraft ( or if he doesn't want to make waves let Jonathan do it) make a motion and ask for a vote by all 32 owners, even if not binding a sense of the owners that science has proven there was no malfeasance on the part of Brady or the Patriots. In addition, all appeals should be withdrawn and the Patriots should be given back their wrongfully seized draft picks. There won't be much sympathy for the Patriots but get it on the record who votes which way.I have but one comment--is it too late for Kraft to reconsider not appealing the loss of or draft picks?
Yeah well, that doesn't explain why the Colts balls don't lose air pressure at the Methadome.
So explain that smart guy?
Didn't think so.......
Actually, so. From the article: "Leonard surmises that because the Colts’ balls were tested after the Patriots’ balls, they had warmed up again."
This has been discussed at length. The Colts balls were measured after the Patriots balls. In fact, they were measured so late during the half time period that they ran out of time after measuring only four of them. Plenty of time for them to warm up.
But that wasn’t the point. The other owners, feeling that the Patriots had been caught cheating a second time, wanted Goodell to crush them. Indeed, although the N.F.L. denies this, it was made clear to the commissioner that there would be repercussions for him if he went too easy on the Patriots. Once the Wells report was issued, with its faulty science and its circumstantial evidence, Goodell did what he had to do. He lowered the boom on his friend, adviser and protector, Kraft.
