Just wanted to bring this up again as a big FU to the commish. He spent $5m+ in fees on the Brady suspension. While it got him the Article 46 authority he wanted, from the Pats perspective it got him:
- No impact on AFC playoff race. Pats earned #1 seed anyway, and only lost to a Buffalo team during the suspension that didn't make the playoffs.
- The backup QB Garoppolo now has real game experience, and wouldn't be coming in mostly cold should the unthinkable happen during the playoffs.
- Said backup QB could wind up bringing a package that could mostly offset the draft pick theft. If Goodell didn't continue to pursue the suspension, this never happens.
There needs to be a Hitler video for this backfiring. FU Roger. I'm hoping that the Pats can stomp through the divisional round, and have the AFC title game well in hand in the 4th quarter, so the Gilette fans can chant, "Where is Roger?" again during the 4th quarter, forcing the network to address it and further embarrass Goodell.
