Cool Link Brady's father goes off on Der Ommissioner....

It makes me realize how knowledgeable most Pats fans have become on Deflategate compared to most others in the media, public, etc..

Katie had a few opportunities to totally embarrass him on his completely false comments, but she didn't have enough information in her arsenal to pull it off and got emotional instead.. which made her argument look weak

I agree with you about Nolan. Somehow, the Patriots-friendly media (Nolan, Simmons, Portnoy, etc) can never put together a solid argument when dealing with deflategate/spygate truthers. I do think there are a few things that contributed to that: 1. It was, I think, live TV, and she wasn't prepared for a debate on the topic 2. She was aware that she had to keep the show moving on to the next topic and not derail it. 3. I think there would have been fallout if she embarrassed Carter, even if it was done as tactfully as possible.

The first two reasons are pretty lame, but I think the 3rd one may play a larger role than we think. My opinion of Carter is not high, but he is a hall of famer and is there to lend credibility to football discussions. If Nolan was on her game, she could have shown that he was uninformed, ignorant and biased. If that happened, though, Carter is not going to take that quietly and the show runners are not going to be happy that one of their "experts" is now damaged goods.

I find it interesting to see all the national media reports that say when they interact with Pats fans they're suprised we're still seething about the whole Deflamegate thing, and don't understand why. Get used to it. We're gonna be seething about it, at least till Goodell is out of our lives, or even longer.

What's really not surprising is that many in the media never take a moment to wonder why Patriots fans are upset, that maybe there is something they could have done differently or better in their coverage of that story. Or knowing what is readily available now, focus on why the NFL spread false information at the outset to really ramp up this story, was dishonest throughout the disciplinary process and allowed this to impact games on the field.

No one in the media will expose Goodell's pathological lying. The NY media refuses to talk about it. The NY Jet connection to NFL Offices is STARK to the point of being preposterous. The PRESIDENT of the NY Jets QUITS after 20 years...to take a job in NFL offices, unknown, unseen by ANYBODY, under a former employee? C'mon, please...NO ONE IN ANY BUSINESS IN AMERICAN HISTORY has done something as weird as this. It is exactly as it looks...Occam's Razor. An orchestrated attempt by old money/old guard NFL owners to destroy the NEP. End of story.
