At the risk of sounding like Michael Corleone, I tried to walk away from this whole discussion but several others in here won't let me. They literally follow me around from thread to thread and hijack every single thread I participate in into a discussion of the Patriots.
Why don't you direct some of your indignation at them?
Why don't you direct your indignation at Tom Brady and Bill Belichick? Roger Goodell didn't commit their cheating for them.
You keep trying to make this Patriot-centric moral equivalency argument between Brady and Hardy. As if Corey Dillon, LaGarrette Blount, Randy Moss, Aaron Hernandez, and whoever else strolled through there without a blemish.
This public condemnation of Roger Goodell is laughable. He's not the cheater, the woman beater, the PED supplier, or the drug abuser in any of these offenses. He's left to govern the cheats and thugs of the NFL. He's had issues in that regard, but he's still not the guilty party.
If you don't cheat the game or break the law, you don't ever even have to meet the guy. It's disgusting how fans want to thrust the ills of society on Goodell, instead of looking at the guilty parties themselves.
America, these days, wants to blame all their own failures and flaws on somebody else. Usually old, rich men. Looking in the mirror and dealing with the reality they see.....nope, people just aren't willing to do that anymore.
