We're in agreement. My point was that the first witch hunt wasn't the catalyst for the second, but jealousy was the catalyst for both.Your point of view is as a Pat's fan, so not realistic at all. After 2007 they continued to win against every team. Teams loved to believe the Pats were not simply better than all of them.
And if you didn't know, Jealousy is the strongest human emotion that can lead to irrational behavior.
Idk. From most reports Spygate happened so fast that the only owners who even knew about it before a decision was made were Kraft and Woody Johnson. The owners allegedly were pissed that Goodell came in, got all the tapes, reviewed it, handed out the punishment, and destroyed the tapes immediately. That left a bad taste in their mouths.We're in agreement. My point was that the first witch hunt wasn't the catalyst for the second, but jealousy was the catalyst for both.

Kraft may be a ***** but Jones is a putz. I just dont like the guy and could care less about his beef with Goodell.

if i am the PA, i refuse to sign off on the new CBA in 2021 unless goodell is gone.
He did nothing. He covered that with rhetoric.He didn't do "nothing at all".
-He published a counter Wells report.
-He publicly challenged the NFL to produce evidence.
-He publicly condemned the decision and said it was ridiculous and that he regrets saying he would accept any punishments that were handed down.
-He publicly condemned the NFL again when Brady lost to the 2nd circuit.
-He was the one who denied the NFL access to McNally and Jastremski.
He just didn't do enough for you. Every legal expert who has talked about it said there was likely no course of action legal or otherwise that was getting the picks or the fine back. Brady was the only one who had a hope of winning. And even he didn't. Could he have made waves and done more? Potentially, but Kraft's a smart guy and he good lawyers who were advising him and they came to an understanding that the best course of action was to publicly disagree with the NFL and then let Brady's case go the way it would. And the realistic prospects of another outcome just weren't there. These aren't joe schmoes on the street, these are rich guys with some of the best lawyers and advisers money can buy. They knew what they were up against and what the odds were.
Watch what happens with Jones over the next few months. He already lost with Zeke, let's see how realistic his chances are of stopping the contract extension. Because as of now, Brady gave up, Kraft gave up, and Zeke gave up. I see a pattern
The part that is probably closest to the way the owners are seeing things is:La Canfora providing ground cover for Goodell and his merry band of billionaires...and I call BULLSH*T.
So much fluff and frosting, all designed to present Roger as the "unselfish" commissioner.
Roger Goodell's base salary would be roughly in the range of $20M per year
I'm not surprised that Jerruh's threat is making the 31 band together more tightly. I think he's going to learn what Krafty Bob learned, that if nothing else the NFL knows how to circle its wagons."The events of the last week, legally and in the media, have brought most of the owners closer together and determined to complete this contract," the source said. "The overriding reason has to do with needing a strong commissioner so that a few strong-willed owners don't control the league. And Roger is that kind of commissioner. The letter (Jones sent from his lawyer threatening possible litigation) really backfired."
