Guess it comes down to a pi$$ing match that summer between BB and Manweenie that Goodell tried to settle with his edict and then buried the Pats and BB in a fit of anger when Bill ignored his edict...after all, Mangini had TWO friggin' cameras, one at each end zone, during a preseason game that summer and refused to move them when asked by Belichick...the sniping and bad blood was well known to Goodell and like the overbearing control freak maniac he is, he attempted to stop the feud using official memos...and then, when the whole sordid mess went viral, Goodell destroyed the tapes giving the Pats and BB no defense and leading other fanbases to erroneously believe Goodell was protecting the Pats!!! A NY born and bred brahmin, ex-Jet employee and life long Jet fan...protecting the Pats???? The perfect storm for ol' Roger Ramjet.
To this day, whenever the archived news reports of the Mangini two camera incident is posted to absolutely and directly refute all the Jet fan libels,close to 99% of the Jet fanbase refuses to own up to it...even though there is NO DOUBT,NO ARGUMENT. That falls squarely into the realm of insanity..literally.
