Quick notes, may clean up
Calling it an investigative piece
Make-up call of CameraPlacementGateas they are saying that Goodell felt he went too light.
Goodell ordered tapes to be destroyed
Following of February saying it was a handful of games
BB saying they had been doing it for some time
All 3 SBs were under this timeframe
Goodell destroying tapes, made some owners up. Bringing up Alren Specter saying ti went all the way up to Washington and calling for a congressional investigation that never happened
Owners upset and Goodell made promise if they were caught again it would be dealt with more harshly (played some video of Jerry Jones)
Really seems liek a fluff piece that is squarely trying to get people all riles up and get them to chant the Patriots as cheater.
significant things the investigators found
- Why is Brady being smeared because of a little air (interviewed 90 people) and it all goes back to CameraPlacementGateas and not saying how many games and the impact on games an the league not going deeper (investigation done in days)
- punishment handed out too quickly
- Public outrage made league go back after punishment
- Physically stomped on tapes and Patriot lawyer left to pick up pieces
One owner felt it was a make-up call, but how many owners feel that way (response, it's alot).
- League not being transparent (my words) offended lots of teams (I call BS on this as teams knew they were being taped).
- Greeny tried to say if it was Kraft's friendly relationship with Goodell that caused it to go that way, but reporter basically said it was the speed with how it came out.
- Goodell over eager with defamegate because of the repeat occurrence.
- Lots of NFL people think Patriots are cheaters, but nothing substantial.
- CC shocked that they didn't go after BB. Response about Wells saying BB wasn't a part of it
