The audio crews are significant at each game. You're talking about 20ish people that'd all have to keep their mouths shut, when any of them could leak it or whistleblow, for likely 10 x's their yearly salary, and do it for a positive cause.
I'm sorry, I'm just not buying.
My theory, FWIW, is Myles wouldn't have taken this road, until Rudolph had a chance to own up to his portion of the incident, and he played straight victim and acted as if he was entirely blameless. I think the gloves came off in that moment for Myles....just my opinion.
There's enough veteran leadership on the Steelers, as much as I dislike them, that if there was any hint of this being true, they'd come out vigorously against Rudolph. Cam Heyward especially, who is fully supporting Mason. I also think it's telling multiple Browns players have said publicly that Myles never mentioned that version of events, and the first they heard of it was the appeals process. That's odd. It'd be one thing for him to keep it under wraps from the public until his appeal hearing, but its odd to me some of his closest teammates acknowledge they had never heard that version of events until ESPN reported it.
