The big takeaway: Patriots fans should want Goodell as commissioner for life.

BB is kind of a dick bag but he owns and I wish he was my team's coach

Just lol if you don't see the timing of this as telling of the NFL front office coming down on ESPN to get ahead of the bad press.

He's wrong about the colts, tho. They still can't win because they never addressed their biggest problem: the Dline

I support Bill Belichick's efforts to exploit the corrupt and incompetent NFL, I'm just disappointed that he chose the Patriots as his avatar of destruction.

Like, Boston fans have had a good decade in baseball and football after being a joke for half a century and its gonna be awesome when they realize their entire success was a statistical aberration and they go back to being sad brain cavemen shitheads.

This kind of happened to Pittsburgh for like twenty years in the 80's and 90's, so glass houses and all that. Luckily it's all swung back around to being awesome again the past ten years, thus solidifying the team as the best in history forever

Sports Illustrated is piling on a bit: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/08/patriots-cheating-suspicions-bill-belichick-tom-brady?xid=si_socialquote:Home teams are supposed to provide certain communications equipment, but opponents often don’t trust the Patriots to do it. One team griped to SI that New England supplied a corroded battery pack. Another current head coach brings his own equipment because he doesn’t trust the Patriots to supply anything of quality. A representative of a third team says the Pats provided headset gear that looked “like it had been run over by a lawn mower. Frayed wires, the speaker is all chopped up. . . .” James says that it is league policy for all headset batteries to be changed 30 minutes before a game, and that the team has “always complied with that.” He adds, “We’ve never been cited by the league for doing anything wrong as it pertains to communication device violations.”

I don't buy the SI story If Belichick was gonna cheat with communications equipment he would give them perfectly functioning equipment that he knew the frequency for.

The NFL is like Game of Thrones, the Patriots are the Lannisters, and they keep winning while everyone is just as bad, but just more incompetent, plus Tywin was the best on the show anyway and you knew you were rooting for him.

The one takeaway everyone can agree on from all this is that Goodell is literally The Worst.

Know what's the cool thing though? No matter what, most of us here had the Patriots be the best team during the primes of our lives, teenagers and twenties, when you can really enjoy it. It's like God personally blessed me. It's really something special my friend.
