NFL Fumbles the Facts

Here’s NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s most recent letter to Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter responding to questions about the possibility the Patriots spied on the Eagles prior to their super bowl match up.

 

Note in the letter that the NFL Commissioner erroneously states that “The two teams had only played one other game against each other in the current decade, a preseason game in the summer of 2003), when the reality is that the Eagles and Patriots played four times in the decade (one regular season game and three preseason games).

 

How is it possible that the Commissioner of the NFL could get such basic league information wrong in a letter to a U.S. Senator?

 

Sadly, it’s just another indication of how slipshod this entire league “investigation” of the Patriots’ cheating has been.
