Van Gundy's point that it is ridiculous to claim that this was an independent investigation when Wells has been repeatedly paid by the NFL can not be stressed enough. How can anyone say differently with a straight face?
From a CNN article two years ago regarding the players lawsuit against the NFL, "High profile attorney Ted Wells, who's represented former **** Cheney adviser I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, among others, was observing Tuesday's arguments. Wells is one of the lead trial attorneys who will be representing the NFL should this case go to trial."

Agreed completely. You cannot be on the payroll of a party of interest to the investigation, and still be considered independent. The NFL needed to cover its tracks for the mere fact that the first time in the history of their organization they conducted a sting operation on one of their teams. And they botched it. Badly. This whole thing is completely asinine.
Kudos again to Gundy.
