The Coverup:

 

The Patriots refused to make "the deflator" McNally available to the Wells investigation.  McNally was interviewed only by NFL Security.  NFL Security did not have any text messages or phone call data at the time of those interviews.  So it's likely McNally pulled a Tom Brady in those interviews.  Once the Wells investigation DID have the text and phone evidence, they summoned McNally, and the Patriots refused to cooperate. 

 

This is likely to get the whole Patriots organization penalized.  It goes beyond Tom Brady and air in footballs.  This is Kraft giving the finger to Goodell.  This is Kraft pledging to cooperate, then cooperating right up to the place where guilt would be found.  But Kraft knew this is exactly how the NFL proceeded with Bountygate.  They dropped the evidence in front of Gregg Williams, and he turned.  Kraft decided to close ranks and play possum once he knew Wells had the damaging texts.

 

By refusing to cooperate, Kraft gets to pretend he is irate about the whole thing.  Kraft even referred to the multiple interviews of McNally in his statement: 

 

"In addition, given our level of cooperation throughout the process, I was offended by the comments made in the Wells Report in reference to not making an individual available for a follow-up interview. What the report fails to mention is that he had already been interviewed four times and we felt the fifth request for access was excessive for a part-time game day employee who has a full-time job with another employer."

 

Ah, so Kraft was only respecting the young mans' work schedule.  Certainly that is the most important thing here, that McNally not miss any more time at his day job.  I wonder if McNally will even require a day job once this blows over.  I suspect he will have a rich sugar daddy named Robert that takes care of all his needs.
