Some of that might have to do with the fact that the Rooneys have owned the Steelers for 82 years.
And that's not about winning...

If you've been around, basically, since the NFL was invented, the league office will be less likely to make an example out of you.
Mike Tomlin tried to TRIP A PLAYER DURING A PLAY, and got a fine.
Can you imagine if Belichick had tried that?
You need to add that Olberman and Simmons are gone from ESPN as well and they had criticized Goodell as well. Maybe if we put enough pieces together a pattern will fall into place that even non-patriot fans can see.I think the NFL is and a great way to hit them is to tie this article on ESPN being punished with a weak NFL schedule as punishment for criticisms of Goodell with why ESPN and Mort have not retracted or commented on 11 of 12. Nothing says corrept more than this intimidation and it is easy for the press to understand. NFL uses Mort to spread lies then holds Mort and ESPN hostage with threat of MNF duds.

The NFL has officially taken a misdemeanor and turned it into Biogenesis. Or, as Bob Costas said the other day, they've taken a misdemeanor and literally turned it into a federal case, even as the judge who will eventually hear the thing practically begs the league and the union to settle without wasting his, or his court's, time.
Sports journalists follow the herd mentality. Many jumped on the "Brady is guilty" bandwagon early almost reflexively. Now we have writers like Jenkins, Stradley and now Lupica outside New England who are taking the hard look ( the one Curran has done yeoman's work on in New England) and I expect others to follow. If Lupica is writing this in New York, I'm hopeful the herd will look at the due process aspect of it.I never expected the tune to turn away from air pressure to process this quickly but it's enjoyable.

This is why people blaming Mort for his report need to look deeper. $1.9 billion deeper into the corruption on Park Ave.Here's an article about that.
NFL and ESPN: A Recent History of Muted Criticism and Alleged Leaked and Loaded Information

Here's an exerpt:
"1) August, 2013 – ESPN abruptly backed out of a joint film venture with PBS, League of Denial. PBS was examining concussions and football. ESPN had been working with PBS for 15 months, and pulled out at the last minute. Only the truly naive would assume there’s no connection here between the NFL and ESPN."
These portray my sentiments, the whole underinflated ball thing is a minor infraction which the NFL has completely lost control of..
