I firmly believe that Goodell never wanted this to happen and it was his underlings who did this. But once this became a major national story, Goodell needed a fall guy and a rouge ball boy wasn't going to cut it. It had to I am sure he would have much rather gotten Belichick, but all he could get was Brady.
For Goodell, making Brady the fall guy is better for him than spending $5 million and four months and not have any proof of anything or even worse showing that people working for him worked to set up the Patriots and then smear their names afterwards. This was easily the best case scenario especially after he looked like a hero for seriously over penalizing the Patriots and Brady.
I do not agree that Goodell did not want this to happen.
Not for nothing but this is the SECOND SUPER BOWL IN A ROW THAT THE PATS HAVE HAD A CRAP STORM OF LIES FOISTED UPON THEM AND THIS ONE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL CRAP STORMS.
IMO this is not an accident, it is not coincidence or Karma, this is Mr Goodell and his park ave stooges doing there very best to destroy TB12 and the NE Patriots. This was a highly organized and planned attack over several months which could have been short circuited early with out any large repercussions.
All they had to do was come out with a statement dispelling Mortensen's report of all the Pats balls were 2Lb under the 12.5 Lb limit.
But they did not refute this gross error. The reason they did was not because they couldn't refute it but because they wanted the bonfire to rage out of control.
Initially they even sent Kraft an official Email stating one of the balls was only 10.1 Lbs and then fed the fire for another 80 some days before sending Kraft an Email that had all the actual measurements but only after he committed in writing not to release the real #s to the media.
The corporate mind set at NFL HQ is that the Pats must be cheating. Why you ask are the Corporate stooges all convinced that the Pats cheat. Because of Institutional Bias. In the NFL Corporate mind we do not have the horses to be as successful as we are. Therefore we must be Cheating!
There whole system of parity is based on #1, #2 and #3 draft picks with #1 being the Gold standard. We have never been loaded with high draft pick players yet we continually win therefore we must be cheating. The corporate stooges believe this because if the Pats are not cheating then there entire reason for existing ceases to be. But But they say to themselves it worked so well before BB and TB12 came along and after all TB12 is a mere sixth round pick. Thus TB12 is but a Nag and not a thoroughbred in their Minds and Nags do not win 4 Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVP awards unless they cheat, ERGO the Pats Cheat. To them it is simple logic.
