I think it is widely believed that they cheat, I think people who leave the organization admit cheating and word gets around.

So if you are the NFL and don't care about cheating then you can ignore it, but if you want to keep the integrity of your games then you have to go after the Pats.

There's cheating and there's rule bending. I think the Pats have mostly danced along the lines and done everything they can to win games but I haven't heard anything that I would consider cheating other than jamming radios etc. Anyone who thinks BB just came up with all this stuff on his own and that none of it has occurred elsewhere in the league is naive.

I have no issue with cleaning it up but a good commissioner knows how to fix problems in the shadows. If you want to fix a marriage, you don't go to the media and call her an alcoholic whore, you talk about it privately. Goodell did nothing to improve the leagues image, he only devalued it by dragging the sports biggest star through the mud without considering the implications and without having his act together.
