This isn't about what it superficially seems to be about. This is about if you were Goodell and you wanted to get rid of Gregg Williams-style locker room speeches, if you wanted to control coaches and control and monitor what they are allowed to say and think, you couldn't think of a better way to do it than this. Remember the Pamphilon audio recording of Gregg Williams' pregame speech? For all their supposed thoroughness and all their mountainous pages and pages of supposedly ironclad evidence, the league didn't know about the Sean Pamphilon audio AT ALL, when it broke. It blindsided them. That was a serious embarrassment and egg on the face of the league and their investigation. Remember the sideline audio of Hargrove, folks, that they tried to use against the Saints, that turned out NOT to be Hargrove? Again it was another embarrassment for the league, caused because the league over-reached with their case, by either mis-using or mis-understanding the "evidence" they used. This is a direct knee-jerk reaction to MISTAKES and ERRORS that Goodell and his crew made during the Bountygate investigation. That is exactly what this is, folks.
