Gregg Easterbook Nails It

Wow, strange things happen when you get a real reporter covering sports, don't they?  I strongly encourage you to read Gregg Easterbook's detailed report on his attempt to get further information out of the NFL regarding why it was in such a hurry to destroy all the evidence the Patriots turned over regarding their past cheating. 

Look, we all know the Super Bowl is never coming back.  You could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Tom Brady had been replaced by an advanced cybernetic organism that had been perfectly designed to shred NFL defenses and it wouldn't change the result of that game one bit.

But the NFL's decision in this case reeks.  Badly.  And I'm glad Easterbrook is on the case. 

(I try not to move beyond the boundaries of sports on this blog.  It's just not worth it.  So I'm not going to link to too much of his non-NFL work to make the point that this is a guy who almost infallibly asks the right questions -- if sometimes I'm not sure about his answers.  But if you want to read one of the most devastating, prescient takedowns of a government boondoggle you'll ever see, you can't go wrong with this.)
