It's ridiculous. Kraft knew that Goodell HAD to proceed with Defategate, or lose his job, after already being known as a Kraft toady. After, Goodell covered up the videotape cheating and other things, when Deflategate came out, the other owners were furious. If Goodell hadn't pursued it vigorously, he would have lost his job. For Kraft, the penalty was worth it to keep his asset in charge of the league.

The knew NFL pass catch rules have been used as a tool to benefit the Patriots.

Remember, in 2007, Goodell called of the investigation of the Patriots and destroyed all the evidence.

You must be a jets fan.

The film gate think was a joke. The pats camera was literally three feet from the others. The difference was they were “on the field.”

Sure, filming “on the field” is against the rules. But that was just silly from the start.

I understand it’s frustrating to lose all the time. But as a long time Pats fan, we were in the wilderness for decades. And we know in a few years we will be again.

But I get The jealousy.

But the jets? They are just sad.
