Goodel's Q&A today was interesting. He made it clear that it was his job to enforce rules, and he also didn't back down in the least about his relationship with Kraft. I think his message to Kraft today was at least as strong as Kraft's was to him. Interestingly, no one asked Goodell about apologizing to Brady and Belichek if they are innocent. His response would have been an equally good message to Kraft, as I'm sure no apology is warranted - investigations either should or shouldn't take place, but a warranted investigation requires no apology, regardless of what is found.
