Schefter on Mike & Mike: The league absolutely asked the Pats to suspend M&J

[BTTA]

Yea I think I know the answer. I'm just looking for some validation

I'm sure the league's position is that the Patriots can reinstate the employees but that they cannot go near footballs.

I'd love for them to be given an ironical assignment, like in the video dept.

Even after they played the clip of Goodell denying it.

ESPNs masters probably aren't too happy with him

The man is a pathological liar.

Kraft should demand an apology.

Never mind, he already did that.

Could be just plain old fashioned stupidity.

I thought it was funny that in EspitN infamous article, they said that Senator Specter did not find Goodell to be credible, back in 2007. At least he has been consistent for the last 8 years.

Well, I guess that's sumpthin'

And IMO, Schefter is far and away the most honest man on ESPN. One of the only honest people there really.

Schefter should start his own network

I thought it was a premptive strike against the NFL for the Patriots to suspend Jas and McNally first. They have to be reinstated before the NFL punishment takes place. If the Patriots had not suspended them, then the NFL punishment would have taken effect when it was handed down. it's even possible that the punishment would have been different. By suspending them first, it gave the chance for all the evidence to be seen and heard before the Patriots asked for reinstatement. As you can see, the spotlight is on the NFL about the reinstatement.

Now I am thinking, why would the NFL ask the Pats to suspend Jas and McNally and not just do it themselves. I see no possible backlash if the NFL did the suspending instead of the Patriots. It just makes no sense to me. Why would they ask the Patriots to suspend them but it's so darn important that they deny they had any hand in it.

Now it makes sense, they may be afraid of a lawsuit but then if they are reinstated, the NFL punishment takes place and Jas and McNally have grounds to sue the NFL. I'm thinking that the NFL thought the lawsuit would be against the Patriots and not the NFL. I think Jas and McNally got very wise council from some lawyers to wait before they filed any lawsuits. It's no wonder the NFL is lieing again. I am hoping the Patriots have evidence that the NFL asked them to suspend Jas and McNally.

These two should sue the NFL and Kraft should support them and pay all of their legal expenses

You see here's the problem. We go ga ga over a snippet thast proves Goodell is a serial liar who has over a period of years has told lie after lie and has been exposed. The problem is Adam's comments are NOT being picked up and repeated over and over again like the scam OTL/SI story has been. It doesn't matter how many retractions BSPN makes over their libelous programming, because they make them once and they disappear from the public mind as quickly as they make them. Meanwhile the all the 8 year old and older rumors and whining go on and on an on.

I think that it is the job of the Stacey James and the PR department to make sure that use every aspect of the media and social network to make sure the truth about Goodell and his overt attack on the Patriots brand is called out at every opportunity.
