Happens. In Goodell’s eyes Tom exposed a flaw in NFL procedure the bad way, then lied about it.
I think it’s a kerfuffle over nothing. A poorly written and worse executed rule and the league should admit it’s their fault. But kerfuffles matter, bad press matters. And of course by this time next year nobody will care. Except Pats opponents, they went 18-1 last time they played angry, with a lot of huge wins that embarrassed opponents.
Lol!
I don’t want them playing angry :O
But it’s not like my team is going anywhere anyway!
It’s cheating. It’s the Patriots. And it is by no means the first time.
