Frankly, I never would have thought Goodell would be tone deaf enough to only suspend for 2 games. The hubris is strong enough I kind of believe it. I also think Goodell basically lacks a moral compass.

Maybe Larry Scott can take over the NFL. Seems like a good fit

Listened to Ray Lewis get VERY preachy on the NYG/DET post game. Not even sure if it made sense. Also, brought god into the equation.

When has Ray Lewis not brought God into the equation lately? Ever since he beat the murder rap, he's been thumping the Bible.

Yeah, somehow beating a murder rap has a great way of changing people. I still do not understand why this is not brought up more in relation to him. Seems like someone from SI or Yahoo or Deadspin or CBSports should get after that.

Thanks for that. Apparently I'm not alone in thinking the same thing. What did people think happened before? A video of him clocking her now makes it worse? No one has any imagination.

Well, here's the TMZ report about the NFL, which claims they never requested the video from the casino prior to the suspension.
I think that only links to their general page, but it's there and quotes casino sources saying Goodell and/or the leave never requested the elevator video.

In fairness to Chuck, once you get past the fact those situations are completely different, they're actually quite similar.

Can't mention him without Eugene also, cost him his gig with the Globetrotters.
That’s where Goodell fails constantly. When he tries to make the NFL “a leader that can stand for important values,” his words ring hollow, because his actions have always told a different story. Just look at the highlights from the 49ers or Panthers on Sunday.
Or don’t. Just look at all the other domestic-violence incidents that pop up every offseason instead, and the history of NFL apathy in response. Or think back to Jovan Belcher, the Kansas City linebacker who killed the mother of his child and then committed suicide in the Chiefs parking lot. Or Terrell Suggs, another Baltimore Raven, who was accused of punching his fiancée in the neck in 2012, and then dragging her from a moving car with their two children as passengers. He was later forced to surrender an AK-47 and six other guns to authorities. He was never suspended that year and eventually played in a Super Bowl. The same way Ray McDonald played Sunday.

This is the larger issue to me. Goodell has a pattern of coldness and callousness towards anything but the bottom line. Players are developing CTE, Roger proposes extending the season by 2 games. Domestic Violence doesn't matter...until the PR turns bad.

Roger Goodell should be gone.
Goes deeper than Goodell though. . .

A total fucking piece of shit.
Also the former executive director of the South Carolina GOP.

Uh, Todd knows that Ray Rice was the guy in the hat in that video, not the one who took the punch, right?
Because that's actually the most lucid explanation, that he got Rice and his wife confused in the video and thinks she threw the left hook. What a jackass. Way to rip some random female supporter named @gopmommy too.

There are people who respect transgender rights. And there are people who think you should all be put in a camp. That’s me. I have plenty of compassion for trannies. They should all be locked up in mental institutions and their care paid for by the state. The only things I hate these days are commies, trannies, and most Muslims. - See more at: http://www.forwardprogressives.com/form ... X1b37.dpuf
