Lowell Cohn: Probable end to Deflategate proves NFL needs a new commissioner I’m glad Tom Brady beat Roger Goodell in court. Other things I’m glad about. That Brady had the guts to challenge the commissioner. That this farce called Deflategate probably is over. That Brady will play in Game 1. That Goodell’s arbitrary, heavy handed justice got tackled for a big loss. This commissioner really needs to look for another job. According to what I’ve read, Goodell never actually proved Brady knew the footballs he used were deflated. Goodell certainly never proved Brady participated in the plot to deflate balls. This didn’t stop Goodell from suspending Brady four games, a quarter of the season. In baseball terms, that would be 40 games. Talk about an abuse of power. When Brady appealed the suspension, Goodell heard the appeal. Does this make sense? It’s like you got sent to the principal’s office for allegedly stealing Tommy’s lunch and the principal suspended you from school four days and you and your mom went back to the principal and said you were appealing his decision, and he said he was in charge of the appeal and upheld the suspension all over again, and then he took out a nail file and cleaned his nails. Goodell had so loused up the Ray Rice investigation he was trying to be tough with Brady. Refurbish his image. That’s what I believe. Of course, Brady never slugged his wife in an elevator, knocked her out and dragged her by her feet, and got caught on camera. The misdeeds of Rice and Brady — I’m not saying Brady did a misdeed — are quite different. Goodell treated Brady like he knocked out his wife or got caught taking performance-enhancing drugs. The commissioner overreacted and showed no understanding he’d overreacted. Question: Is Roger Goodell a bright man, as in intelligent?...snipped ...This whole furor has been silly and overheated. It has shown the commissioner as a phony moralist, a man with a personal agenda. And, finally, it has shown the commissioner as a loser. A very bad look. The NFL really does need a new commissioner because, among other things, Roger Goodell is not a bright man, as in intelligent. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/sports/4430417-181/lowell-cohn-probable-end-to This is a good article |

Goodell needs to go. Sooner rather than later. |

And I agree with the Lowell Cohn's question: is Goodell intelligent? |

I don't know Brady personally but the Dean of Sierra HS where Tom went says he is a great guy and he always remembers Sierra HS. He gave his Super Bowl MVP car a few years ago quietly to the school. He is never been arrested for punching out his wife, raping anyone, driving DWI, and using drugs, unlike too many thugs. By all accounts he is really a good guy. |

. New York law professor Robert Blecker says in Deflategate, there is only one proven cheater: the NFL. In an interview with 60 Minutes Sports, Blecker displays a piece of evidence from the Wells Report that he claims shows a clear NFL bias in the Wells Report. The two gauges that referee Walt Anderson used to measure the Patriots footballs at halftime of the AFC Championship game have become known as the logo gauge and the non-logo gauge. One read higher than the other by 0.4 PSI at halftime. In the Wells Report, it's written that Anderson misremembers which gauge he used to measure the balls before the game. Blecker asserts that's not true, and believes he used the higher reading gauge before the game. In an effort to make the two gauges seem similar despite the heavy disparity, Blecker found an incriminating measurement in Ted Wells' report. He's called the "the artful shifting of the rulers" the "smoking gun." But upon further review, he claims the NFL had been fudging the numbers. "Looking at the photograph I went 'oh my god. I can't believe it,'' Blecker said. "They put the rulers under it, and under one they start the needle at the zero point, and at the other they start it at the 0.2 inch to make the needle seem longer to the untrained eye." As such, one could believe the NFL cited the lower reading gauge at halftime - after OK'ing the balls with the higher reading one - to cry foul. Blecker says this revelation would have had the NFL's case in hot water far sooner. "That should have been brought to the attention of - first of all on appeal, to Goodell to show the obvious clear bias - and then it should have been brought to the attention of the judge - and it wasn't," Blecker said. "It should have been brought to the judge's attention, and it would have served two purposes simultaneously. One would be to show the unfairness of the investigation, but the other would also be to suggest the innocence of Brady." Blecker said he considers himself an unlikely defender of the Patriots. "When I first read the Wells Report I thought they cheated - and truthfully, I sort of hoped they did - because I don't like the Patriots, I still don't like the Patriots as a team," he said. So, why is he so certain the NFL is wrong? "Science can explain it," Blecker said. "And then increasingly there have been a rising chorus of voices including a Nobel Prize winning chemist who says the science was junk. At the appeal, the Dean of the Yale School of Management said the statistics were junk. Increasingly, the more you read, the more blogs you read, the more you think it through, the more you realize this is based on a tissue of lies." http://tinyurl.com/psrbqo4 .
