Goodell might be caving to the Patriots

Goodell, Kraft have spoken, hugged recently

 

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the league and the Patriots are working behind the scenes to resolve the Patriots’ unhappiness about those penalties and added Tuesday that Goodell and Kraft have already done some in front of the curtain work. Per Schefter, the two mean already have “met, spoke and even hugged” already and that they were spotted “on a couch, talking by themselves for quite a long time” at a birthday party for CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus over the weekend.

It seems that there’s nothing like proximity to a man who pumps hundreds of millions into your bank accounts to reinflate the amorous feelings that may have flagged in recent days, weeks and months.

 

All the hugging and courting on a couch won’t do anything to stop questions about why Goodell commissioned a lengthy, expensive report from a man whose integrity was praised by the league at every instance and then backtracked on the discipline generated from that report’s findings because the subject of the report was unhappy with it, but perhaps Goodell can just keep doling out hugs until everyone forgets the last four months ever happened.

 

 

"I'm so sorry I hurt your feelings, Bob.  I know you'd never cheat on me.  Can you forgive me for not believing in you?" :wacko:

I think Goodell is in a no win position here...if the initial ruling is reduced, 31 teams will be pissed...if he sticks with it, 1 team and his pal Robert will be pissed.

 

goodell would be better off letting an arbitrator handle it.

I'm surprised everyone else is surprised. Goodell got to come out hard and look like he meant business when he knew it would get appealed and reduced. That wasy he can throw his hands up and say "Welp, I tried!" and then move on to bathing in the money the Pats produce for him. Same thing that's going to happen to Hardy. You watch.

I'm not surprised.

 

I was surprised when they got the penalties they did.

 

I think if they reduce it, it's stupid, but I'd be lying if I said i was surprised.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
