We’ve heard of good cop/bad cop. When it comes to the ESPN tag-team of legal analysts, the better term may be bad cop/worse cop.
Two weeks ago, we outlined the many flaws in Lester Munson’s insistence that Tom Brady would not win the case that, a day ago, he won. In the aftermath of that decision, Roger Cossack interviewed NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith — and Cossack went after Smith on the decision to give Commissioner Roger Goodell final say over cases like Brady’s.
The exchange between Cossack and Smith was transcribed by SportsBusiness Daily.
