Mike Florio caught Wells in a lie (or else a stupid error). I think it's a serious one.

Tagliabue shows Goodell the way to implement a culture change | ProFootballTalk

The story goes like this:
  • A big part of the Patriots penalty is because the Patriots didn't make McNally available for a 2nd in-person interview with Wells (5th interview over all).
  • Wells previously agreed with the Pats that nobody had to have a second interview with him unless he uncovered new information after the first interview.
  • Wells has claimed that the new information was that he -- perhaps belatedly -- discovered a text message from longer ago than he had previously checked.
  • Florio's article debunks Wells' claim. Wells, in his report, says that his reason for wanting to talk with McNally was to follow up on a text message that was in the time frame he says he had already checked.
The reason I think this is serious is because so much of the Patriots' penalty seems to be based on denying Wells another shot at McNally. So for Wells to have lied about that means the penalty is based on Wells' lie.

This is all separate from the point that the Pats offered a phone interview with McNally, and Wells did phone interviews in previous investigations, so his claim of the Pats refusing an interview with McNally was always overstated.

And Wells said he would drive to McNally and meet him anywhere he wanted.
