This entire farce has absolutely nothing to do with the relative IQ of Goodell, or anybody else that works for the NFL, either now or in the past. It's all about the fundamental unfairness of a process whereby only one person gets to decide the fate of every employee, in a kangaroo administrative setting with no checks and balances, and as we are now finding out, no effective means for administrative or judicial review. Admittedly the players signed up for it, so in a sense they've got nobody to blame but themselves, or maybe their attorneys.
The really sad part is that these continuously botched and increasingly laughable NFL league investigations (I use that term very loosely here) are being orchestrated by a man who couldn't find his own butt hole with two hands and a funnel. Meanwhile, the untold millions they're spending to pay an army of lawyers is money you might just as well be flushing down the toilet for all the good it's doing anybody. The whole mess is nothing but a personal, highly subjective vendetta against Kraft and the Patriots, born purely out of jealousy on the part of the other owners. Goodell is nothing but their tool, a lap/attack dog who jumps at their command. I suppose if this were the old days in Sicily they'd just vanish Kraft from the planet.
All the while the NFL is pouring these mega millions down the johnny flusher, we have former players walking around on crutches or riding in wheelchairs, or even worse, suffering from permanent, irreversible brain dysfunction due to suffering repeated concussions. Instead of thinking about helping any of these poor, unfortunate souls, let's pour money into this total nonsense, giving the league a further public relations black eye, and looking like a bunch of two year old children in the process. Way to go, Rog. You're a poor excuse for an attorney and an even poorer one as a human being.
BTW, I'm a Giants fan, although I admit I have nothing against the Patriots, other than Belichick's tired, old routine.
