My opinion is that the balls were very probably intentionally deflated, and this warranted the NFL going to the Patriots before the AFC Championship game and telling the Pats to knock it off, or else taking control and possession of the balls from the pre-game on in every game to avoid this situation altogether. At any case, it did not warrant going to DEFCON 1 over a matter (ball tampering) about which the NFL has never previously showed much concern at all.
All of that aside, the NFL is a business. It exists to make money. Perhaps someone could explain how anything the NFL has done in this matter has made a lick of sense from a financial point of view? Could it possibly have been managed more ineptly, in even more of a half-asses fashion? I doubt it.
So why is Roger Goodell still employed by the NFL? Does he have compromising photos of all 32 owners? That's about all that could explain the fact that they continue cutting him huge checks.
