Roger Goodell

[TxHoops]

He really needs to get a grip on things, and fast. First, Jimmy Graham gets fined $30k for dunking over a goalpost right after Manziel gets fined $12k for flipping the bird on national tv. Now, kicker Matt Prater gets a 4 game suspension for drinking beer in his home over the summer (after a DWI he was prohibited, but had completed his criminal probation), after Ray Rice received a 2 game suspension for beating his fiancé unconscious. I know, I know, difference in salary on the first two and collective bargaining on the second two. But does anyone else have a real problem with the message this sends??

This should probably be in the "Pro Forum"

Absolutely should be.  Thought I was in that forum when I posted.  My bad!

[SKINS]

He is just stuck between a rock and a hard place. He has no control over all the drug suspensions. And its hard to punish an "innocent" man. Any more than that and Rice probably appeals and wins.

The NFL claims they never saw this video until TMZ released it today. I think Goodell has to add to Rice's 2 game suspension after seeing this

If it comes out that the NFL had seen this video, how could they not, Goodell is done. I doubt TMZ outbid the NFL for this video. They did their own "investigation", this video has to be available

You can hit mary.

But you can't hit Mary jane?

If you catch my drift..

This.

I find it nearly possible to believe the NFL did not have this video. A multi-billion dollar business with all the resources in the world couldn't get their hands on the video but tmz could?!! Goodell is either lying (almost a cerainty) or is GROSSLY incompetent. Either way, he has to go. As you could tell when I started this thread, I was already not a fan but this seals the deal.

On a side note, good for Baltimore to send him packing. But someone will pick him up...probably over the offseason. I pray it's not Jerrah.

Reply not about goodell, but why on earth would that woman marry ray rice after the physical abuse? $$$$$?

That is a great question. We were talking about that yesterday after seeing the new video. I don't know if it's money or not. Some women stay in those situations when the guy can't rub two nickels together. Self esteem issues I guess. Sad.

It's easy to kick a guy off the team. Need to develop him into a man.

Or so I've heard.

I really think the NFL thought this portion of the video would not be seen.

Also she can't testify against him if they're married. She is apologizing for her part. I'm sorry, but women who stay in abusive relationships get what they ask for, otherwise leave.

I hear he has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL (Goodell) so maybe he won't get picked up.

Bye bye Rog. Can't imagine why you would screw up such a sweet gig covering something like this up. So dumb. On the upside, I'm available and will not tolerate domestic violence.

[Peppermint Patty]

The NFL does not care about spouses. They care about assets.

[Baba Ganoush]

I'm waiting for Goodell to name all 32 teams Super Bowl champs this year so the owners will back him!! Only way he stays

[Baba Ganoush]

Well you see what happened was that ummm, there was this thing and I forgot that....
Goodell has sum splaining to do
