Goodell was dragged into the investigation because of public complaints by the Jets coach, a former Pats assistant. AFAIC, this is less about the Pats and more about the NFL.
Coaches bitch and moan constantly, the Jets could have been ignored while some other team got busted and a quiet message to Kraft that there could be a second bust.
I think it’s about an idiot Senator with too much time on his hands. It’s a stupid rule, it’s always been a stupid rule, it’s probably going to be post dated this off-season when they finally give the defense a radio helmet. Specter needs to rent a life.
