I keep thinking back to the Spygate nonsense a couple years ago.. basically the league destroying the tapes instead of becoming transparent about what was on the tapes.. Vegas, championships and the integrity of the game were in the balance.
As the noose begins to tighten.. admitting that there were correspondence is the first step.. the NFL will begin to have a large sleeping nightmare upon its PR doorstep.
Favre is a cowbell for the NFL.. and they will want to do everything to protect that.. however they have the legal side of this that could be mounting that is going to be a potentially damaging hit if they do handle it openly and concisely.
So, you now have the Chilly feud, a "fracture". a team going into the tank quickly.. and an NFL investigation with much on the line in the balance.
Not saying that this is all being orchestrated by the NFL.. but I am thinking the Brett walking away from the game on his own terms and settling this matter without damaging his on field assets might be very attractive to the NFL, Brett, and the Vikings and Jets at this point.
If they tie the photos to Brett's camera.. I think this fracture may be a convenient way to put a finger in the PR dam at this point.
There.. I think I may have dipped a little more than a toe into
Quaid's world. 😉
