Not sure, but, damn, it's close...if goodell is terminated after all this, it might be all worth it.

Speaking of Jenkins, someone on the Sons of Sam Horn board posed a great question about her piece, and I'm paraphrasing here: "Why hasn't even one NE writer composed a column like hers?"impeccably credible
In 2005 Jenkins became the first woman ever inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame.
In 1986, Jenkins was part of the team nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for stories about the cocaine-related death of University of Maryland All-American Len Bias.
She is the author of twelve books, four of which were New York Times bestsellers.
Jenkins was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and is a graduate of Stanford University with a degree in English Literature. She lives in New York.
He can keep the penalty because the team owner gave him carte blanch to do so without a fight.
Because most of them are cowards and/or incompetent, there are exceptions, Mike Curran has done alright, Mike Reiss has raised some questions. There's no excuse for clowns like Felger and squeaky. I actually heard Felger yesterday said that Brady might not want to take this to court and he better be very careful because the NFL has some "small" things they haven't exposed yet. Its mind boggling how obtuse some of these guys are. Felgers a hater disguised as a local guy but he's shown his true colors over the years.Speaking of Jenkins, someone on the Sons of Sam Horn board posed a great question about her piece, and I'm paraphrasing here: "Why hasn't even one NE writer composed a column like hers?"
No you are spot on in my opinion. Wells is a fraud as it has now been proven. That report could have been one page. We found nothing. They could have then presented that and saved 5 million. I would also look I to that, then billable hours. For 5 million I better have direct evidence, not contrived. I could have done that report for 5k. Wells looks bad, Goodell looks bad and the ALL of the owners look horrendous as well for standing idly by or capitulating.
Felger is a provocateur, a contrarian, a troll.This is great to read but how bad out the loc

I thought the person on SOSH own explanation was pretty much on target. S/he suggested that they're too lazy and/or they're deathly afraid of being tagged a "homer" by their peers. Both good answers, I thought, especially the second one. I've thought for years that the homer label scares the bejesus out of some of them. I listen to a guy like Lou Merloni and at times he begins to vigorously defend the local teams and then seems to catch himself before he goes too far with someone like Benz, the ultimate troll, on his show.This is great to read but how bad out the loc

Doesn't reading an intelligently constructed, thoughtful and insightful piece stand out like dog's balls? I remember a time when this was the norm not the exception.
What if many have this backwards ... what if Goodell plans on removing Brady's suspension?
What if some of these recent relevations are coming from the Goodell people?
I hate to give him any credit ... but the team has lost it's 1st round pick and that made many rivals elated.
Figure if we're going to discuss this is full then this possibility needs to be addressed - pro and con.
I hold many online posters in high regard mainly because they offer well reasoned opinions. It just so happens that Patsfans has more than a few of these gentlemen/women.I see better stuff written in these posts than I do in the media usually. Hell, you could copy and paste different posts together from here, publish it, and it would instantly be one of the most credible and informative pieces out there. It's really sad that they have jobs in media and some around here do not.
I always thought reporters tried... until 1991. OT: I ran a quick chess tournament. (G/15 if anyone knows what that means, and we are talking old style analog clocks with flags.) Reporter who showed up, played, and was there for the whole thing, did not just get it wrong, got it so absurdly wrong you wondered if she was ******ed or something.
