For that matter, Woz was the hardware guy for the most part.That was the mistake that Hewlet-Packard made with Steve Jobs. At the time Jobs left HP he was allowed to take everything with him that he worked on while there. HP was like most of the world at the time and didn't see the future of home computers.
I think Patriot fans need to bang the drum loudly about investigating the role Kensil and the Colts played so it doesn't get swept,under the rug. Barstool had done a good job of getting that rolling and we should keep the noise up.

You and I are also not employee and employer, but I can't confiscate your texts. What is it about the NFL relationship that allows them to exercise powers that the police have?thats not a legitimate analogy. teams in a league are not employee and employer. your boss also cannot suspend you for being accused of a crime or smokimg weed on your own time. apples and oranges.

Your boss can take your personal cell phone and read the texts?You kidding? That happens all the time.
Sure, there's player conduct agreements, but AFAIK the NFL still has privacy limits. Can they search your house? Unless there is an agreement I don't see how they can take personal texts.The weakness of the NFLPA. They had their chance and blew it.
Josh Gordon is gone for a year but Jim Irsay gets to continue on his merry old way.
How about the guy from Miami who lost a whole year for being mean to another player?
What the heck is going on?
I missed the Jets' "permission". What's the story on that?

I'm sort of surprised people want this. Unless they agreed in a contract with the NFLPA, reading private texts would strike me as a horrific abuse of authority. I don't think the police would have enough evidence to get a warrant to search your phone. It's just not clear to me how the NFL can.
I wouldn't allow anyone to read my private texts. And I have nothing to hide..... As far as you know.
When the Jets were filming from field level in 2006, they told the NFL that they had received permission from the Patriots. This happened after the memo came out.
The NFL said the Jets had permission "to cheat."
OK, I added the words "to cheat" but how could the Patriots possibly give the Jets permission to break the rules? Makes no sense.

So as the clouds part over Foxboro and it becomes obvious Deflategate was just a witch hunt conducted by sore losers one name has come to the forefront. The ringleader if you will. His name Mike Kensil. Who is that you ask? Well that’s exactly the same question I asked when I first heard his name mentioned to me 2 days ago from a source close to the Pats. They said look this guy up. Well it turns out he is the former President of the Jets. He was there when Belichick turned in his resignation to come to the Pats. He was there during Spygate. His friends will tell you that he obsesses over his hatred of the Patriots. That he swore 1 day he’s get back at Belichick for leaving him the lurch and sending the Jets into a downward spiral of ineptitude and ruining his career.
Yes it is this Mike Kensil who is now Dir. of Football Operations at National Football League who was prowling the Colts sidelines last week. Yes it is this Mike Kensil, the former Jet with a longstanding grudge against the Patriots who was proactively looking for deflated footballs last week. It is the same Mike Kensil who whispered to Bob Kravitz in a dark tunnel of Gillette about deflated footballs. I’ve even heard rumors that he and the Colts equipment manager conspired to actually deflate the one football that came in at 10.5 PSI. The rest were closer to 11.5 PSI. It is this Mike Kensil who called Chris Mortensen to leak the story about Deflategate.
This of course explains why the league never said anything to the Patriots beforehand about deflated footballs. Why the Colts would risk playing the first half at a disadvantage. Because this was never about fair play. This was never about the integrity of the game. This was simply about revenge plain and simple. It was Mike Kensil trying to set a trap and embarrass the Patriots. Unfortunately what Mike Kensil and the rest of the world found out the hard way is that you don’t trap Bill Belichick, Bill Belhick traps you. Now the NFL is sitting with their **** in their hands. Belichick has all the answers and NFL looks like incompetent buffoons once again. And once again the NFL is going to have to take a hard look in the mirror and investigate itself over wrong doing. All because Mike Kensil had a grudge. For shame. For shame.
They can't do anything to New England without hitting Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Gooddell is plotting how to make this go away quietly, but in the end he lost his biggest safety blanket in Robert Kraft and this will ultimately be his undoing as NFL commissioner. Unfortunately, there will probably be no recourse for the culprits of this entire sham.Schefter has heard speculation.....Blah Blahby Blah has heard...Joey Goats has heard...Frankie Da' Fruit Guy has heard....
Day after day for weeks every clown with a fake credential "has heard!!!!!!!!"...and now...suddenly....*crickets*...NOBODY has heard anything, is hearing anything ,will be hearing anything....doesn't this make all of you WONDER about the exact genesis of this whole firestorm?
The silence is deafening and it is fairly screaming "GOODELL AND KENSIL SITTING IN A TREE"...
They can monitor your social media and fire you for things on your own time, most definitely. Not that I think that's a great thing, but it's done all the time. They can also fire you for not giving up information. They can fire you for pretty much anything short of a protected class discrimination.Your boss can take your personal cell phone and read the texts?
