Myers began attacking Goodell and acting more "pro Brady" than many in the Boston media months ago. He's writing for a New York audience, so, of course, we're not going to agree with everything he writes, but I'd put him above Volin, MacMullan and certainly the CHB for his support of justice in this whole mess. Clearly not in the same category as Sally Jenkins and Florio after his "conversion," but few nationally are.
My favorite quotes from today's piece:
"The last time the Patriots were this pissed off was 2007... Brady is going to take out his anger with Goodell on the rest of the league, especially the Colts, who started this nonsense. They play in Indy on Oct. 18, the nine-month anniversary of DeflateGate. The NFL record for points in a game is 72 set by Washington against the Giants in 1966. That record is officially in jeopardy." (my emphasis)
"Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave up his DeflateGate fight against the league in May, accepting a $1 million fine and the loss of first and fourth-round picks, hoping it would buy Brady’s freedom. Didn’t work. Jonathan Kraft, the Pats president, said after the Brady ruling that the team won’t try to get back the money and the picks. I think that could change." (I include that only because Myers is so tight with the League office that it's possible he knows something that the rest of us don't)
"...it is time for [Goodell] to stop clinging to Article 46 of the CBA giving him final say as the hearings officer over integrity of the game and conduct detrimental issues. Sure, it was part of the first CBA back in 1968, but these are clearly more complicated times."
