Makes sense to me, so the NFL needs to come out and say that. This whole thing is not making the commissioner look competent.
They’ve had too many issues this year. The world has mostly moved on from this, let there be an investigation, some time around the combine it’ll be done, just in time to send recommendations to the rules committee. Really if the whole thing doesn’t involve the Pats, and there is that crowd of obsessive people still whining about spygate this thing blows past with no one caring. Much like when the Vikes and Panthers got caught warming the ball, there were like 2 stories and they got letters and the world moved on. But all those folks who felt they hadn’t gotten enough opportunities to yell “the Pats are cheaters” 8 years ago suddenly found themselves with some soapbox time again.
