Oh, look, the NFL doing NFL things! Through all this I've been arguing with friends (fans of other teams) about how biased and corrupt this 'investigation' has been, and they keep saying 'but why would the NFL have it out for the Patriots, why would they want its biggest star suspended?' They just don't get it and they never will. And they'll gladly overlook the gross misconduct and blatant bias here, while roasting the league for the Rice investigation.
I'm now suddenly hopefully (well, very very mildly hopeful) that this is Kraft rolling up his sleeves. Enough is enough, after the appeal ruling I think he finally gets it and I hope he just says '**** it, 31 owners don't seem to care that my organization has been slandered and dragged through the mud for six months. Fine, then I'm suing your asses for supporting a corrupt regime and a corrupt investigation'. Not holding my breath, but this is at least an encouraging development.
One question: There's mention of the Patriots knowing the '11 of 12 footballs' report is wrong, and 'having the data right here...' - I was under the impression they didn't get the correct data until mid-March when they had to sign a non-disclosure? Were they merely told that report was incorrect? I'm confused about that bit. It'll be fascinating to see any future e-mails that have gone back and forth during this charade.
