All I will say is that in the legal realm, willful destruction of evidence can be used by the fact finder as evidence of guilt. It makes zero sense to destroy the tapes because they showed no evidence of wrong doing. Were they running out of space at nfl HQ and couldnt afford a storage unit? The only plausible explanation is that Goodell wanted to squash the issue before it got too deep and he would have to essentially vacate the Patriots wins for several years. If you are interested in the most likely reason Goodell destroyed the tapes, this is it.
"Spygate" went deeper than anyone knew.

It was an ESPN "Outside the Lines" investigation, so this was actual investigative reporting. The Patriots were so brazen at cheating they would send employees into opposing locker rooms and have them snooping around hotels trying to steal playbooks. So you would have me believe that the Patriots would only stoop so low as to theft of playbooks, but secretly recording practices was just too unethical for them. Lol, ok. As I said the destruction of the tapes and subsequent cheating scandals (deflate gate) mean that the Patriots should not get the benefit of the doubt. If you are a Patriots fan and think that not their not being punished for filming practices means they didn't do it, then more power to you. It's very similar to the argument that Bama fans make when someone says they buy recruits - they havent been punished so it cant be true. All I know is the GOAT, Don Shula, thought Belichick was a filthy cheater and he had no respect for "Belicheat."
In any case that's all I have to say on the matter. Let's return to boobies and ***.
