Any idea if they subpoenaed Wideman's phone or the teammates? Either way, I don't see how this "destroys" the locker room -- it's not like they would have given up that info voluntarily.
As for the text itself, aside from the reference to "stupid" refs, I don't see how that makes him guilty or shows he had intent to hit/injure. He can be remorseful for accidentally injuring the linesman but still upset that he's getting suspended for it. If anything, it arguably paints him as a "bad guy" and therefore more culpable? Pretty tenuous in any event...
