DeflateGate and SpyGate: ESPN Digs Up a Corpse to Throw Roger Goodell a Bone

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell took to ESPN's Mike & Mike radio show and acknowledged a willingness to change his role in the appeals process. Goodell botched major decisions at every turn in 2014, exacerbating every issue to the point that owners publicly supported a change in the process.

But you wouldn't know that. This morning, ESPN released a deep look at Goodell's failed investigation into SpyGate and how owners, players, and coaches across the league still hold a deep rooted hatred and jealousy for the Patriots- and those are their words.

This story will dominate the discussion for the next week, which is convenient because the Patriots kick off the 2015 NFL season this Thursday.
