SAN FRANCISCO -- Well, its happened again. Robert Kraft made a technological blunder and added me to an NFL owner's Signal group discussing Shedeur Sander's exclusion from the league. He meant to add John Mara apparently, and it shows the standing of the Giants franchise standing in the organization.
The 5thQuarterSports staff is not at liberty to disclose the details surrounding the exclusion for matters of NFL security but we can share some messages before they were deleted.
"Anyone down for massages on the 15th?" - Robert Kraft.
"Siri, call my son" - Jerry Jones.
"Can anyone help me extract Reid from Wendy's before the game?" - Clark Hunt.
"Adrenachrome is pretty awesome, anyone want a hit?" - Jed York.
While we were in disbelief and thought we were being trolled by a teenager this appears to be 100% legitimate. They started discussing Shedeur's exclusion and I realized the legitimacy around the 3rd round of the draft when he was still undrafted.
While this mistake has massive consequences generally, given the NFL has invested so much money in technology for secure broadcasts that cannot be captured by piracy sites such as thestreameast.to, it also opens the door to how technology is generally in flux. Simple mistakes are bound to happen given how interconnected the world is. I have a feeling this won't be the last important group chat which is leaked publicly, nor will this be the most damning.
