I don't think there's anything more the Pats can do. Their thoughts are they didn't do it.Shelterdog said:
Neither fans nor sports reporters are generally opposed to NFL employees leaking information. I'm curious as heck and just wish somebody was leaking the Pats' viewpoint a little more.
Well, sources told him.Hoya81 said:I'm curious to how he determined Benson is in complete control. Has he spoken to him? Did Benson submit a doctors evaluation?

Mugsys Jock said:i read Kraft's not attending the pressed as less a sign of his disregard for Goodell, and more an obvious distraction/set-up that wouldn't look good for Goodell or Kraft. Could be seen as Kraft ominously standing by to remind Goodell not to speak against him, for instance.
Like Frankie Pentangeli's uncle (brother?) coming in from Sicily to watch his testimony...

She asked about there being a conflict of interest w/ the NFL paying the investigators and in he ended his response with "unless you want to pay for it, Rachel."

Goodell leaves open possibility of increased penalties from past competitive violations if Patriots found guilty of wrongdoing.
Ed Hillel said:He never said that.
I'm assuming Bisciotti's at a strip club, Irsay's on his way back from the packy, and Benson is frolicking with unicorns.McBride11 said:Which NFLN said was actually 8 and 1 representative for an owner (Packers)

Boom
BigSoxFan said:Wouldn't that be the point of him attending? Imagine how much Goodell would sweat if he had to answer some deflategate questions as Kraft is staring daggers right through him with his arms crossed.
Harry Hooper said:It would be some justice if the tiff with Nichols is his downfall.
Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
She's awesome. Keep 'em coming.
With Kraft in the room, if he gave any reasoned answers about lack of evidence anything wrong occurred, or the trivial nature of the balls' inflation, it would be assumed that was because he was in Kraft's pocket.BigSoxFan said:Wouldn't that be the point of him attending?

djbayko said:It's funny. I've never thought much about Rachel Nichols' reporting in general. In fact, I never really liked her spots on ESPN, as they seemed so over-rehearsed and unnatural.
However, put her in a Roger Goodell press conference, and she is kryptonite. Her question always ends up being the pinnacle moment somehow. All media members should quietly agree to refrain from asking questions and just watch her grill Roger for 30 minutes.

He's still using gauge pressure (12.5 to 10.5 or whatever), not absolute pressure (27.2 to 25.2). He's embarrassing himself. I told him he looks like a creationist on this topic.

The one good answer Goodell did give ("if there was an infraction" or whatever) would've been undermined.
Pats fans aren't looking for Goodell to be emasculated and in jeopardy, they're looking for him to be intelligent and principled.
When that fails, we'll move on to the emasculating...
