What really gets me is the overarching arrogance, cynicism and hubris of the NFL. They've got this product for which there seems to be a endless demand for. Given that, they treat the fans like sheep to be shorn. They cynically apologize knowing we'll forget about it and keep consuming their product.

The whole Mueller thing is a great example. "Oh look, the director of the Eff Bee Eye! It must be ok!" Is what they expect us to think, knowing the whole thing will blow over and we'll get distracted by the drama of the season, our own dramas in our own lives or the latest and greatest from the celebrity train wreck of the week.

I could diatribe for a good long while but the lack of accountability for the owners, the networks and the league is galling.
