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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
