I have no love for Goodell but I do believe he understands basic English and he would have to be ignorant of it to do as you suggest he will do. The real strawman is taking the cynicism of Goodell to the point where he doesn't understand basic English.
So yes it means the same on my language. NO ONE here is saying that Kraft tampered, everybody who is worried is worried because in the lawyers language they can get any fragment of a text and transform that in a different thing. Knowing that the NFL lacks judgement and reason in everything they judge, some people like me understand this can have in the best case scenario NO EFFECT on the investigation that are going on right now, but in the worst case scenario or even in a likely scenario, it can have a negative effect for us because no one expects Goodell to act in a reasonable way.
I don't see a single person here worried that what Kraft did was tampering, so you can stop chucking that straw man in the fireplace.
What some people (including me) are worried about is that this will give Goodell an opportunity/cover to blow off the charges filed by NE by falsely equating Johnson's statement with Kraft's.
Goodell is image-driven. He's saying to himself "Hmmm. I'm going to have to let NE off on Deflategate. Kraft's statement isn't tampering, but too many people are too stupid to make the distinction. If on top of issuing no punishment for Deflategate I penalized the Jets for what Johnson said while doing nothing about what Kraft said, the NY and other non-NE media will crucify me again for being in Kraft's pocket. Screw that. I'll play it like what Johnson and Kraft said are the same and blow off both tampering allegations."
Besides Revis and Richardson, there's really nothing to salvage from that dumpster fire. Give us the draft picks they will otherwise waste.I would take no compensation at all from the Rats if the NFL would just move to dissolve the Rats franchise, make all their current players free agents, and salt their fields so that nothing ever grows on it again.
Really, it is the right thing to do, and best for everyone in the long run.
Again, I think your cynicism towards Goodell has taken you off of the deep edge. I understand why you are skeptical of Goodell but you are taking it to the point where he's actually a ******. If Roger Goodell doesn't understand the difference between want and wanted then he's too stupid to hold clearance signs dressed as a banana in front of the mall let alone anything above that.
I'm not claiming he doesn't understand basic English. Of course he does. Of course he knows NE didn't tamper. Notice I said "falsely equate". Not "ignorantly equate" or "unknowingly equate". My theory is that even though he knows and understands that NE didn't tamper, he will equate the two (figuring that most people and the non-NE media won't make the distinction) and blow off the charges NE filed against NYJ.
Can you please read what I actually wrote?? Nowhere did I say he doesn't understand the difference between what Johnson and Kraft said.

For me it is in fact sir but I believe I have studied English enough to understand the basic structures of the language, you on the other hand seems to be lacking text interpretation, let's see if I get this right, I just typed text interpretation on google and I got this on my first answer:
"Interpretation: Analyzing a text for underlying meaning."

So say nice things about your ex employee = tampering? If the answer is yes. Sean Payton just did it. He said Cadet is an amazing receiver and they would love to bring him back if they didnt agree to bring Spiller.
This is getting really redundant, I'm just going to let the chips fall and see how all of these issues play out. My opinion is that Patriot fans are going to have some really good weeks in the near future. They will be cleared of any wrongdoing in the idiotic deflategate issue and the league will give them a very high draft pick for the Jets tampering while finding the counterclaim to be absurd and dismissing it.
We will see if the cynicism regarding Goodell is well founded or paranoia?
I agree, the possible downside to the Rats' attempted revenge play is a further delay in the tampering case ruling.
