To recap: Spygate was actually a huge operation of evil, complete with a huge vault of tapes and poo poo. Not only does Goodell cover up the scale of it and give the Pats a light punishment, HE HAS ALL THE EVIDENCE DESTROYED so there is really no way to seriously revisit the issue ever! Also, there is really no way Goodell can reverse himself on this even if he wants to because he literally made himself an accessory after the fact!

Then, to "make up for it" he goes bananas over alleged ball softening, botches the whole thing in every way possible, and a federal judge tells him to get hosed.

Oh, Roger. :allears:

Yeah, I found that to be pretty interesting too. I wonder what's gonna happen to try to get a handle on it all, because if all that stuff really happened, there's a ton of poo poo goin' bananas that just doesn't go away.

Gun to my head, I'd say it's more likely to be a rival group of owners than Goodell, but it'd be one hell of a way to spite Kraft. It also leads me to believe that Goodell may not last past the end of the 2015 season as commissioner.

Too bad Goodell himself is complicit in the cover-up of all the juicy Spygate stuff, to the point where he himself ordered the evidence destroyed, AND he just botched the Ballghazi thing to the point where a federal judge who ruled for upholding punishments in 66 of 68 previous cases told him to go die in a grease fire.

Whoopsie! :laugh:

Every single other NFL team's fans, and more importantly every other NFL team's front office, would figuratively and in some cases literally set their head coaches on fire for the chance to hire Bill Belichick.

I have no idea what the fallout of all of this is going to be. I assume that Goodell leaked this despite it making him look bad because the main narrative coming out of this is PATRIOTS CHEAT, which has been the narrative for the last year. He seems pretty arrogant, so he probably thinks he is teflon at this point. This could get pretty crazy if the pressure is right. Anything is possible and I love it.

Pats fans in total neglect that the article was about how Goodell is being paid off by Kraft and covered up for him for years and the Brady suspension being about saving face with the other owners more than anything. Makes you wonder why the thing got botched so badly. Wouldn't be so funny breaking every ounce of sportsmanship and integrity in the sport just to win if there was a comm who wasn't being paid off on your own side throughout the decade of being terrible human beings.

Just like Colin Campbell never had any bias with Bruins players beating up the entire league while making scape-goats out of smaller market teams that are doing well for transparency.

It's okay they can still buy a baseball team.

Well, he's at least losing his disciplinary powers, and that might help the owners reconcile his ability to earn mad dollars. I think it's probably for the best, but I hate his guts. I wonder if it's enough if a black eye for the league though. We'll see!

Bill Belichick is a loving genius. Calling him a cheater is according far too much dignity to cheaters by association with him. If this poo poo is really so widely known throughout the league, there's no doubt in my mind that every single team does the same stuff. They just aren't as good at it because you can't compete with Billy Fiveaces.


If Goodell really did leak this, he misjudged because all I've been reading and hearing all day is how he obstructed a congressional investigation and covered up so much cheating. I'm not 100% caught up on this thread so this may have been covered, but with the Spygate poo poo - can't Goodell be fired for cause, now?

why would i not find this hilarious, brady is free and none of this can change that

the wells stuff was neat as hell since im a lawyer and found all the legal hulabaloo interesting and (correctly) thought brady had a solid shot to win. i also think that there's a decent chance the nfl got it wrong on brady and all this actually sort of supports that - the articles are all about how bill secretly cheats with a very narrow circle of trust, so it would be odd for brady to be running his own entirely seperate cheating thing that bill (according to the nfl) had no knowledge of

but all this, all this is basically "hahaha the patriots cheated for years and got away with it" and not only that but nuggets like bill having airport spies, it owns

I mean, you can just easily conjecture that it's one or more of the owners who supposedly pushed Goodell into coming down so hard on Brady, as this story is flattering to neither Goodell, nor the Patriots. That seems more likely than Goodell releasing something embarrassing about himself
