Shocker... well not really.

He's the convict that the DA brings in to give circumstantial evidence when they don't have anything credible.

I said this the other day, and I really do recommend it. Read the whole sworn Hargrove statement TWICE. The second time you read it, you see a lot more of the detail in it, and it is completely different on the second read from the first impression you might get from it. He clearly does not say or admit what the NFL says he said there.

When did he give his sworn statement & why didn't Goodell act sooner rather than 3 years later?

The mischaracterizing he was talking about was when the league said that the declaration proved that a bounty system existed and that he and other players actively participated in the bounty system. They also said that he was instructed to lie by the coaches. The declaration says NONE of those things. That's what he was talking about. He said the league was taking what was on paper and twisted it around and made stretches of logic and called them "proof".

Exactly. And that's what Hargrove is trying to point out. That is the "mischaracterization" of which he speaks.
