Goodell wasn't in when that Super Bowl happened. Sorry but you can't blame that one on him. Blame the commissioner before him, blame them all for sugar coating it and pampering New England to a dynasty. Take away that one bad call in the Raiders game, no way they win it then.
If you go back and watch that Super Bowl, Faulk has a point. He was held that entire game. Just go back and watch it. They got away with facemasking him and Warner both, and he was held every play, and there was no flags. Also spygate, I will forever believe they cheated on that Super Bowl. The Pats winning the Super Bowl the year of 9/11 was not a coincidence. They won 3 Super Bowls using spygate, and they haven't done anything since being caught. Is it a coincidence their defense used to be outstanding and now they are always in the bottom 5 of the league and get torn to pieces by teams? New England's defense under Belichek has been an absolute joke ever since the aftermath of Spygate when they lost that Super Bowl in 2007.
Goodell destroyed the evidence because most of you have no idea just how far Robert Kraft's influence goes in this league. You can obsess over the Maras all you want, but Kraft by far has some of the biggest influence on the league than any other owner. Do your research and look at what all he owns. I think that's who got them out of spygate. Kraft made sure it didn't get big, all hush hush, paid behind the curtain and they didn't take it to extremes to not anger one of the biggest men in the room. At the end of the day Goodell is not even the real owner of the league, he's just a sock puppet. Guys like Kraft are the ones that control everything, and that's why no one wants Goodell gone. He gets them money with his stupid ideas like extending Thursday night football all year long.
