**** you, John Mara. It's partially your fault this thing has gone as far as it has. You sound like one of the BSM now. Shut up.
Gee, Mara wasn't tired of hearing about it when Goodell & company were smearing the Patriots with false accusations and their rigged "investigation." Now that the NFL is getting bad press, he suddenly feels this topic should go away.
just give brady a fine and move on.
I'd be okay with that. IF BRADY HAD ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING WRONG!
a fine is an admission of being guilty of something, so nope.
I didn't quite read it that way. I think that's the public line owners have to toe, because acknowledging that they're pressuring Goodell could open up its own can of worms re: his bias as an arbitrator. There's a reason why Irsay and Biscotti refuted SalPal's report about that as quickly as they did.Just posted this in another thread but it's relevant here too. Is it just me or does the second tweet seem to be Mara distancing himself (and the other owners) from Goodell? Looks like he is hanging Roger out to dry (not that I have anything against that).

John Mara said it's not accurate that owners have put pressure on Roger Goodell to "hold the fort" on the Brady suspension (@WFAN660).

Mara was out front 3 weeks ago in full support of the Commissioner to the media.

Sort of contradicts Florio's suggestion that the Maras, Rooneys et al. are leading the effort to have the NFL beat the NFLPA at all costs.

For what?
One of them's lying.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say it's not Florio.
