THAT would be awesome.
Official law enforcement is only one of Kraft’s problems, though, and for his grade of billionaire asshole, it might actually be the lesser of them. He’ll also likely have a reckoning with America’s bumblingest dick-tripping clown judiciary, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s league office. You can be sure that’s gonna be a big ol’ exploding-port-a-john type of deal.
If there’s no particularly good way for the commissioner’s office of a sports league to adjudicate prostitution—and there isn’t!—there are any number of bad ways. You may be thinking that seems like a compelling argument for the league office to stay the hell out of this. You’re right! However, the single defining claim of Goodell’s tenure as commissioner is that the league office must litigate each and every instance of lawbreaking by anybody even interpretively connected to the league. Well, here you go.
[...]
I suspect the players’ union might raise a collective eyebrow at any hesitation to act in this case.
Moreover, of all the owners to get busted with his dick (not even all that figuratively) out, Kraft makes probably the worst test case for Goodell quietly leaving the ol’ My First U.S. Marshal Badge in his desk drawer. Kraft, by dint of the Patriots’ unprecedented dominance over the past two decades, may well be the single most powerful individual in the NFL, which would make him one of the most powerful people in American sports. The story of his involvement in a prostitution and human-trafficking bust, even if only as a john, will be the biggest NFL story for some time to come.
[...]
Please note that I absolutely am not calling for Goodell to do anything at all to punish Kraft for his involvement in this. Properly speaking, this is none of the league office’s business at this point, or possibly ever, just like any number of off-the-field player incidents also have been none of Goodell’s business. I am just saying that whatever he does, you can be sure it will be stupid, and bad, and will make things worse, and many people will have good reason to call him a fucking idiot for it. This is gonna rule.
I heard somewhere from a Chiefs reporter that there is really no savings in letting Berry go. He said something along the lines of there is not that much difference from releasing him compared to keeping him. Based off of dead cap numbers for 2019 and 2020 or something like that. Don't remember the exact scenario, but it's something like that. So he thinks KC will keep him
You only save $1.55 million or so. Not a lot.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 12:51 pmI heard somewhere from a Chiefs reporter that there is really no savings in letting Berry go.

Houston however is a different story. He's either going to be released or traded. KC will be lucky to get a 4th for him because KC will likely release him if not traded.
But I think the will he is much better than any player in the defensive secondary.jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 1:22 pmYou only save $1.55 million or so.

But I don't think, from a football standpoint, you can tolerate the will-he-or-won't-he stuff any more.
