I still have issue with 'more probable than not' being the basis of an investigation.

But I also find it odd that the Patriots are not contesting the loss of two draft picks. Especially since the Wells report goes to great pains to find that the Patriots as an organization did not deliberately attempt to circumvent any rule.
Why are they not contesting the loss of picks?

I agree with the notion that the NFLPA is a weak union simply over the fact the NFL contracts are not fully guaranteed.

But the popularity of the entire sports is baffling to me. I understand it and I lived in the US for 10 years so I 'get football' but for me it does not make for a very good TV sport.
