The most puzzling aspect of the Spygate controversy is the way NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has handled it.
As someone who has spent virtually his entire career working in the NFL, Goodell should understand the basics of being in the glare of the media spotlight. He should know that trying to sweep a mess under the rug is always worse than the original misstep and that it's much better to get all the bad news out in the public as soon as possible instead of enduring the drip, drip, drip of stories over months. And never destroy the evidence.
Instead, Goodell made all the wrong moves by trying to minimize Spygate from the beginning.
