This thing is super gnar

[bloodbrother]

Time to strip the Pats of their titles and then fire Goodell

 

Also, Free Garropolo

A long read, but worth it.

I'd love to crap on the Pats but ESPN is really hit or miss on the journalism, so I'll wait a little while before the pitchforks comes out. This does show the conflict of interest that results in an owner hiring a commissioner. I am not sure how it would work differently as it is already difficult for the players and owners to agree on anything but in a way I am surprised that this type of favoritism doesn't happen more often.

The biggest blunder in all this is allowing the commissioner to be the minister of justice. He should have delegated that from the start.

I am numb to the pats cheating at this point

[Angel Oracle]

Goodell needs to go.

on the mike and mike show interview he did yesterday, goodell sounds like he's open to having some kind of discipline committee decide the punishment on these cases. if nothing else, this article seems to indict him for being real quick to pull the trigger on any discipline he hands out, and that it has created a fair amount of criticism/controversy for the commish.

I also don't understand a system in which the person who imposed the punishment is the same one who hears the appeal.

The NFL is corrupt... Color me shocked.

I always thought that the Pats got off easy from the spying thing.

[Blarg]

Maybe the rest of the teams can quit being pushovers and demand Kraft be stripped of his franchise rights.

The NFL giving FIFA a run for their money of corrupt sports councils.
