Is this the "back-channel?"

This puts the Wells Report Context in, well, context.  That was his long-term legacy play and FU.  I don't think he ever really intended to go further than that on the team front.

I mean, he said in his initial response to the Wells report that fighting is almost certainly futile.  While the punishment clearly raised his ire, its not surprising a dude that's been wildly successful in the business world heard what the owners were saying in the press and realized, yeah, its going to be futile.
 
It also shouldn't be shocking if Goodell drops the Brady suspension next week, as that really makes this whole thing go away.

Yep.  This is a billion-dollar business.  The fans will still buy season tickets whether or not the team has a first-round pick.

No appeal?  That sucks.  Completely.  What did Goodell tell him that made him give in?  Or was it the other owners putting pressure on him or what?

So have MILLIONS of fudtards say "Patriots knew they cheated so they accepted it like a pussy."
 
Christ. Not a good day to be a Patriots fan.
