Bill Cowher on 98.5

I recall that back when spygate first blew up, there was a poster on a national forum who *seemed* to have inside knowledge of what was going on behind the doors. He rarely posted, but when he did it was to speak of stuff that would happen, and he was always right. Stuff that only an insider would know. Many responders to his posts thought he was Jonathan Kraft posting under a pseudo name, and perhaps he was or wasn't, but it was always about patriots decisions of what was going to happen.

The point to all this is that a week after spygate happened, this person posted a long story basically giving the background and what had been going on the past week (after spygate). He explained that the reason BB and Kraft were being silent about the whole thing was because Goodell told BB and Kraft that if they "didn't keep their mouths shut" it would go much worse on them. Goodell didn't want them talking about it and making it possibly worse for the NFL as a whole.

Take it however you want, but the way he wrote it up, made a lot of sense and seemed very plausible. I just wish I could find that post again. But it was taken down a few days later.

I read about this too and frankly it makes a lot of sense when you look at the big picture.

Please see if you have luck tracking that one because there could be responses to that that in turn quoted the original text.

Unfortunately as I mentioned, it was taken down a few days later. The original post was up for about a week, and then then whole thread including all responses disappeared/deleted. I don't mean to give conspiracy theorists any more ammo for claiming we're hated by the rest of the country, but this was happened on one of the major national NFL forums. You know the one. 4 letters. The one where monday night games are shown on...

Got you. Thanks!

Cowher did speak up! He said all this 3 years ago.

What he said. Cowher spoke up, as did Boomer Esiason, Jimmy Johnson and several others. Goodell's overreach should be, to some degree (less than our passions might want it to be) scandalous. That said, I don't think Kraft will blast him. And I think Belichick will likely try hard to avoid the topic altogether.
