Is Roger Goodell going against the NFL's best interests by trying to bury the face of the sport?
Last week, the NFL's commish stated in his appeal decision, “In response to the question, ‘Why were you talking to Mr. (John) Jastremski in those two weeks?,’ Mr. Brady responded, in sum: ‘I think most of the conversations centered around breaking in the balls.’ ”
