But it’s the Deflategate matter that has really called into question whether ESPN has been carrying water for the NFL and Goodell.

It's about time some in the media developed a little curiosity about this.

Skimmed the article didn't see it but, somebody should try to get an article written about the ex jet connections and how the Jets have been let off the hook many many many times in Goody's tenure.

Apparently Lester can leap far:

As Munson writes:

In this case, recognizing that the NFL has convincing evidence and significant legal precedents on its side, Berman knows the only way he can produce a settlement is to show the league that there is a possibility it could lose a case that it should win. That is why he devoted most of a hearing Wednesday to picking apart the Goodell opinion and the league’s legal position.

First of all, “convincing evidence” has been shown to be a leap of incredible proportions.

As Munson writes:

The article's author does not think too much of Munson.

Bravo! Others finally beginning to notice the vile stench from the journalistic sewer in Bristol, CT.

Munson?

Every time I see Lester Munson, I read Herman Munster. I don't know why.

Not sure if it's even an appetizer. They really didn't even get too much into the ESPN relationship.

Lester Munson is a disbarred flop of a lawyer who is now making a living as a shill for goodell.

This is the idiot who actually wrote "Goodell produced a decision on Brady that is brilliantly reasoned, meticulously detailed and well-written"

How much more shameless and obvious can this suck - up get?

He's a lot less "media" than Dan Wetzel et al.

But yeah -- he examined the subject in somewhat more depth than I've seen before, so kudos to him on that. And he got >50,000 page views, which is substantial. (E.g., I don't know that I've ever gotten more, except when I guest write for unquestionable "media".)
